In an experiment, you flipped a coin 3 times and the result was (H,H,H). You have 2 hypotheses. The first one is that the coin is fair (the probability of the coin landing heads is equal to 0.5). The second hypothesis is that the coin is biased and that the probability of landing heads is 0.75. What is the Bayes factor in favor of hypothesis 2 relative to hypothesis 1

According to a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted during June 24–28, 2011, 55% of the American adults polled said that owning a home is a very important part of the American Dream (The New York Times, June 30, 2011). Suppose this result was true for the population of all American adults in 2011. In a recent poll of 1780 American adults, 60% said that owning a home is a very important part of the American Dream. Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether it is reasonable to conclude that the percentage of all American adults who currently hold this opinion is higher than 55%. Use a 10% significance level, and use both the p-value and the critical-value approaches. Round your answers for the observed value of z and the critical value of z to two decimal places, and the p-value to four decimal places.zobserved =Enter you answer; z_observed p-value =Enter you answer; p-value Critical value =Enter you answer; Critical value
In Cleveland, a sample of 73 mail carriers showed that 10 had been bitten by an animal during one week. In Philadelphia, in a sample of 80 mail carriers, 16 had received animal bites. WHat is the approrpiate null hypothesis for this problem?
Suppose Connie owns a pet store in a large community that has over 50,000 pet owners. She believes that the proportion of men who own cats is different from the proportion of women who own cats. Connie decides to test this claim by performing a two-sample ?-test for two proportions. Her hypotheses are given by ?0:??=???1:??≠?? where ?0 is the null hypothesis, and ?1 is the alternative hypothesis. The variables ?? and ?? represents the population proportion of men and women cat owners, respectively. She randomly samples 420 men and 493 women who are pet owners in the community and finds that 234 men own cats and 256 women own cats. Determine the pooled sample proportion, ?̂. Provide your answer precise to three decimal places. Compute the standard error of the difference of the sample proportions (SE). Provide your answer precise to three decimal places. SE = ?̂=
In a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that 25 % of the audience would express an interest in seeing one of its forthcoming television shows. The network ran commercials for these shows during the Super Bowl. The day after the Super Bowl, and Advertising Group sampled 138 people who saw the commercials and found that 42 of them said they would watch one of the television shows. Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running: Ho:p Ha:p + 0.25 = 0,25 Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places
Many questions in research can be expressed as two competing statements about the population parameter. These two statements are called the null and the alternative hypotheses. Usually, the researcher hopes the sample evidence will be in favor of the alternative hypothesis, the new theory. It is important to be able to state the theories that are being put to a test. Do a minority of Michigan residents clear snow from sidewalks before 9 am after snow has fallen?For this scenario, write out the hypotheses to be put to the test and define the parameter of interest in context of the problem. H0:Ha: The parameter p represents ___(provide appropriate definition in context)________
A consumer magazine wants to figure out which of two major airlines lost a higher proportion of luggage on international flights. The magazine surveyed Standard Air (population 1) and Down Under airlines (population 2). Standard Air lost 45 out of 600 bags. Down Under airlines lost 30 of 500 bags. Does Standard Air have a higher population proportion of lost bags on international flights? Which of the following is the correct competing hypotheses?
In a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that 56 % of the audience would express an interest in seeing one of its forthcoming television shows. The network ran commercials for these shows during the Super Bowl. The day after the Super Bowl, and Advertising Group sampled 85 people who saw the commercials and found that 47 of them said they would watch one of the television shows. Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running: Ho:p = 0.56 Ha:p0.56 Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places 2 =

If we reject the null hypothesis, does this mean that we have proved it to be false beyond all doubt? Choose one of the options: A. No, the test was conducted with a risk of a type II error. B. Yes, the test was conducted with a risk of a type I error. C. No, the test was conducted with a risk of a type I error. D. Yes, if we reject the null that suggests that it is false beyond all doubt.
