In order to test the efficacy of a program designed to get more women to major in STEM fields in college, 700 women who went through the program were compared to 1200 students who did not go through the program. Of the women who went through the program, 125 of them majored in a STEM field in college. Of the 1200 women who did not go through the program, 174 of them majored in a STEM field. Performa hypothesis test to see if there is statistically significant evidence that the proportion of women who went through the program is significantly greater than the proportion who did not go through the program. Perform the test at the alpha = 0.05 level. What is thep-value and conclusion of this test? p-value = 0.026; Fail to reject the null hypothesis %3D p-value = 0.026; Reject the null hypothesis p-value = 0.053; Fail to reject the null hypothesis

A certain HMO is attempting to show the benefits of managed care to an insurance company. The HMO believes that certain types of doctors are more cost-effective than others. One theory is that certification level is an important factor in measuring the cost-effectiveness of physicians. To investigate this, the HMO obtained independent random samples of 27 physicians from each of the three certification levels-Board certified (C): Uncertified, board eligible (E); and Uncertified, board ineligible (1)- and recorded the total per member per month charges for each (a total of 81 physicians). How many factors are present in this study? 0000 81 27 3 01
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
According to the GSS 2018 dataset, 51% of 218 college graduates reported being interested in environmental issues compared with 43% of 167 high school graduates. What is the research hypothesis? Should you conduct a one- or two-tailed test? Why?
For several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal). Now, however, that practice may be changing, possibly because of the recent demand for landscaped homes, which experts believe help reduce pollution. A recent study examined a random sample of 167 houses built in Southern California between 1950 and 1985 and an independent, random sample of 80 houses built in Southern California from 1992 to the present. The sample of houses built in 1950-1985 contained 71 houses with pools, and the sample of houses built from 1992-present contained 31 houses with pools. Based on this survey, can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all Southern California houses built in 1950-1985 that were built with pools is greater than the proportion p2 of all Southern California houses built from…
Think of a research scenario for which either 1-way or 2-way ANOVA would be needed to analyze the results.
Fewer young people are driving. In 1995, 63.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Bloomberg reported that percentage had dropped to 41.7% in 2016. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,200 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in 1995 and again in 2016.
It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 210 students from that college, whether or not a student was left-handed was recorded for each student. The college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a higher percentage of left-handers than the general American population? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. State the Type I and Type II errors in the context of this problem.
According to Gallup's December 2004 Lifestyle poll, 55% of U.S. adults said that that they get enough sleep. A researcher, suspecting things have changed since 2004, selects a random sample of 855 U.S. adults and finds 52.3% say they get enough sleep. At the 5% level of significance is there evidence that the proportion of adults that say they get enough sleep has changed since 2004? (Complete the full four step process.) Yes No
Although an increasing share of Americans are reading e-books on tablets and smartphones rather than dedicated e-readers, print books continue to be much more popular than books in digital format (digital format includes both e-books and audio books). A Pew Research Center survey of 1502 adults nationwide conducted January 8-February 7, 2019, found that 1081 of those surveyed had read a book in either print or digital format in the preceding 12 months. (You may regard the 1081 adults in the survey who had read a book in the preceding 12 months as a random sample of readers.) Andrew Perrin, "One-in-five Americans now listen to audiobooks," September 25, 2019 at www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/25/one-in-five-americans- now-listen-to-audiobooks/. The sampling scheme was more complex than an SRS, so the computation of the number in the sample who have read in the preceding 12 months and acting as if it were an SRS is oversimplified Macmillan Learning STATE: What can you say with 95%…
The drug Finasteride is marketed as Propecia to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 55 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily Finasteride pill or a placebo. The study lasted seven years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 804 of 4368 men taking Finasteride and in 1145 of the 4692 men taking a placebo. the 95% confidence interval for the risk difference is (-0.077, -0.043). Compared to this confidence interval, a 98% confidence interval for the risk difference is: a.) wider b.) there is not enough information provided to decide c.) half the width d.) the same width e.) narrower

A dowser has correctly located water for a well 1 out of 2 times in Jones County. In Jones County, someone who is just guessing has a 40% chance of locating water for a well. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence that the dowser can locate water and is not just guessing?
