In the Marist Institute allergy survey, 2.5% of a national wide randomly selectedsample of n = 880 suffer from severe allergies. A researcher suspects thatthe true proportion is higher than 10%.Let p denote the true proportion of people that suffer from severe allergies.Based on a 95% CI for P, either the null hypothesis or the alternativehypothesis (as determined by researcher's claim) is likely (or unlikely) to be true.Suppose new information on the population yields the true proportion ofpeople suffering from severe allergies is actually 18.5%. When comparing theconclusion from the 95% CI for p to the newly available information about thetrue p, what type of error (if any) has occurred?the decision/conclusion is not in error.Type I error has occurred.Type II error has occurred.no assessment can be made because normality is not given.

Type I Error: Type II Error: And Given that: Sample size, n = 880 Sample proportion, p^=0.025

Answered: In the Marist Institute allergy survey,…

A student at a university wants to determine if the proportion of students that use iPhone's is less than 0.38. The hypotheses for this scenario are as follows. Null Hypothesis: p = 0.38, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.38. If the student randomly samples 29 other students and finds that 12 of them use iPhone's, what is the test statistic and p-value?
Suppose we have a case-control study that completes and yields a study OR = 4.5. If we were told the true OR in the population was actually 2.25 (we normally wouldn’t know this, but suppose hypothetically someone was able to know this and told us), this again means our study OR is biased. Is our study OR biased towards or away from the null? A)Away from the null. B)Towards the null.
Males and females were asked what they would do if they received a $100 bill in the mail that was addressed to their neighbor, but had been incorrectly delivered to them. Of the 70 males sampled, 55 said yes they would return it to their neighbor. Of the 130 females sampled, 120 said yes. The overall question is: Is this sufficient evidence to say that the two true proportions are different? Assume that the p-value turns out to be .027 (again not the correct p-value for this situation but use it to answer this question). What is your decision on this hypothesis test using a 5% level of significance? O Fail to reject the null hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis
Suppose you have a friend that thinks at least a quarter (25% or 0.25) of all US adults believe in ghosts. Thus, the null hypothesis would be, HO: p = 0.25 Suppose a telephone survey of 1000 randomly selected US adults found that 0.31 or 31% of them say they believe in ghosts. If the null hypothesis is true, the uncertainty or Standard Error in this sample proportion = 0.014 Based on this information, what is the value for the Z-statistic in this hypothesis test? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Answer:
Big fish: A sample of 250 flounder of a certain species have sample mean weight 50.5 grams. Scientists want to perform a hypothesis test to determine how strong the evidence is that the mean weight is less than 49 grams. State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.
The cost of a university education has increased at a much faster rate than other living expenses in general over the past twenty years. In order to compensate for this, many students work part- or full-time in addition to attending classes. At one university, it is believed that the average number of hours students work per week exceeds 20. Suppose a hypothesis test is done to test this belief. A random sample of 20 students was selected, and it was found that the sample mean is 20.4 and the standard deviation is 11.891. compare t* ( critical value of t) at an x level of 5% and the test statistic to draw a conclusion about the hypothesis. Choose the correct answer. we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is strong evidence to suggest that students work more than 20 hours per week, on average. we support the alternative hypothesis; there is strong evidence to suggest that students work more than 20 hours per week. we reject the null hypothesis. we fail to reject the null…
A researcher claims that the incidence of a certain type of cancer is less than 5%. To test this claim, the a random sample of 4000 people are checked and 170 are determined to have the cancer. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: Ho p 0.05 Ha :p< 0.05 In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.015. come to a conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%) Select the correct answer below O The decision is to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is enough evidence to support the claim o The decision is to fail to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to support the claim.
Dreamfilms Studios boasts that its summer features are so good that at least half of all tickets sold one summer are for its films. A competing studio claims that less than half of all tickets sold are for Dreamfilms' movies. After the hypothesis test is completed, the conclusion is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the true percentage of tickets sold for Dreamfilms Studios' movies that summer was only 48%, was an error committed? If so, what type?
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?
8 cards were randomly drawn from a deck of 52 cards. All the cards that were red were considered a loss. Out of all the 8 cards drawn, all were red.
