In April 2010, 45% of the unemployed had been out of work longer than six months. Policy makers felt that this percentage declined during 2010 as the job market improved. To test this theory, a random sample of 200 unemployed people was selected, and it was found that 67 had been out of work for more than six months. Using a = 0.10, answer parts a through c below. a. What conclusions can be drawn about the proportion of the unemployed who have been out of work for more than six months? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
The authors of a paper classified characters who were depicted smoking in movies released between a certain range of years. The smoking characters were classified according to sex and whether the character type was positive, negative, or neutral. The resulting data are summarized in the accompanying table. Assume that it is reasonable to consider this sample of smoking movie characters as representative of smoking movie characters. Do the data provide evidence an association between sex and character type for movie characters who smoke? Use α = 0.05.

Suppose we are interested in the risk of peripheral neuropathy among persons with diabetes. To study this relationship, we identify 100 persons with a history of diabetes. At an initial examination, three of those 100 persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Five years later, the group was reexamined and 12 additional persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Based on that information, which of the following is closest to the five- year risk of peripheral neuropathy in this group of patients? А. О.03 В. О.07 С. О.12 D. 0.15 E. 0.17
A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 22 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. The other 24 subjects were assigned to the control group and received a standard, well-known treatment. After a suitable period, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded. A summary of these data is: nn x¯x¯ ss Treatment group (new drug) 22 23.48 8.01 Control group (old drug) 24 18.52 7.15 Without using software, how would you estimate the number of degrees of freedom for this problem?

A statistical program is recommended. Electric power consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The local utility company offers an interrupt program whereby commercial customers that participate receive favorable rates but must agree to cut back consumption if the utility requests them to do so. A certain company cuts back consumption at 12:00 noon Thursday. To assess the savings, the utility must estimate the company's usage without the interrupt. The period of interrupted service was from noon to 8:00 p.m. Data on electric power consumption for the previous 72 hours are available.
