In a study of 100 randomly sampled 18-year-old women in an inner city neighborhood, 17 reported that they were taking birth control pills. The researchers would like to assess the evidence that the proportion of 18-year- old women using birth control pills in this neighborhood is greater than the national average of 5%. Which of the following tests is most appropriate for testing a directional alternative with a significance level of 0.05? OA. Two Sample t Test

The coach of a very popular men’s basketball team claims that the average distance the fans travel to the campus to watch a game is 35 miles. The team members feel otherwise. A sample of 16 fans who travel to games was randomly selected and yielded a mean of M= 36 miles and s= 5 miles. Test the coach’s claim at the 5% (.05) level of significance. one-tailed or two-tailed test: State the hypotheses: df= tα or t value for the critical region = sM = t (test statistic)= Decision:
According to a recent poll, the percentage of Americans who would vote for the incumbent president is 53%. If a random sample of 100 people in New York results in 45% who would vote for the incumbent, test the claim that the percentage of people in New York who would vote for the incumbent president is different from 53%. Use the following results and a 0.10 significance level to state your decision about H0. H0 : p=0.53 H1 : p≠0.53 test statistic: z = -1.6 p value = 0.1090
In a clinical trial of a drug intended to help people stop smoking, 125 subjects were treated with the drug for 12 weeks, and 14 subjects experienced abdominal pain. If someone claims that more than 8% of the drug's users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.17 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.95. Interpret this value of the power of the test. The power of 0.95 shows that there is a % chance of rejecting the hypothesis of p = when the true proportion is actually That is, if the proportion of users who experience abdominal pain is actually then there is a % chance of supporting the claim that the proportion of than 0.08. users who experience abdominal pain is (Type integers or decimals.

A poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming.

Many people believe that criminals who plead guilty tend to get lighter sentences than those who are convicted in trials. The accompanying table summarizes randomly selected sample data for defendants in burglary cases. All of the subjects had prior prison sentences. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sentence (sent to prison or not sent to prison) is independent of the plea. If you were an attorney defending a guilty defendant, would these results suggest that you should encourage a guilty plea? Guilty Plea Not Guilty Plea Sent to Prison 418 48 Not Sent to Prison 558 43
A graduate student believes that people consider faces with more contrast between lip color and skin tone as more feminine. She identifies the null hypothesis as: Ho: The level of contrast between lip color and skin tone does not affect how feminine a face is considered. She chooses a significance level of 0.05. After she collects the data and computes the sample statistics, it is time for her to make a decision about the null hypothesis. What are the two possible decisions that the graduate student can make? Check all that apply. There is not enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone affects how feminine a face is considered.

A psychologist wanted to study the effect of television violence on cortisol levels in the blood (high scores indicate high levels). The psychologist measured cortisol levels in seven participants before and after the participants watched a violent show. Participants' cortisol level scores are listed below. The researcher is interested if there is a change in the cortisol levels after watching the violent show. Carry out a t test for dependent means (using the .01 significance level). What should the researcher conclude? a.) Use the five steps of hypothesis testing. Label all the steps clearly. Show ALL work/calculations. b.)

A health insurance company wants to determine if more than 25% of US residents have been to a hospital emergency room within the past year. It was found that in a sample of 1000 people, 28% indicated that they had been to an emergency room within the past year. With a significance level of 0.01, is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of US residents that have been to the emergency room in the past year is actually higher than 25%?
