A random selection of volunteers at a research institute has been exposed to a weak flu virus. After the volunteers began to have flu symptoms, 20 of them were given multivitamin tablets daily that contained 1 gram of vitamin C and 3 grams of various other vitamins and minerals. The remaining 20 volunteers were given tablets containing 4 grams of vitamin C only. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the flu was recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data were obtained. Treated with multivitamin Treated with vitamin C Days to recover from flu 3.2, 7.3, 8.4, 6.1, 2.5, 6.7, 6.3, 3.7, 7.0, 7.7, 9.1, 9.9, 9.0, 2.6, 2.0, 5.1, 5.7, 2.5, 2.9, 4.5 2.7, 5.3, 3.7, 5.5, 4.5, 3.8, 7.6, 5.3, 3.6, 5.2, 2.3, 4.7, 3.6, 5.2, 2.3, 7.1, 3.3, 6.1, 7.9, 4.2 Send data to calculator.

Fifteen years ago, a complete survey of all undergraduate students at a large University indicated that the average student smoked 7.7 cigarettes per day. Th director of the student health center wishes to determine whether the incidence of cigarette smoking at his University has lessened over the fifteen year period. He obtains the following results (in cigarettes smoked per day) from a random sample of 9 students. 6.1, 9.2, 5, 6.3, 4.8, 3.2, 7.6, 8.1, 9. Test the null hypothesis at the .05 level significane.
In a previous poll, 43% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 470 of 1145 adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the α=0.01 significance level. Find the test statistic, z0.
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 50 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the x = 0.01 level of significance? Because npo (1-Po) = 24.5 > 10, the sample size is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? p = 0.34 versus H₁: p > 0.34 Ho: p (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Find the test statistic, Zo. Zo = 2.62 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the P-value. P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) less than 5% of the population size, and the sample is given to be random, the requirements for testing the hypothesis are satisfied.
Do adults (age 20–45) with children and adults without children have the same distribution of type of vehicle that is driven? In a large city, 130 randomly selected adults with children and 170 randomly selected adults without children were asked which type of car best describes the vehicle they primarily drive: car, truck, van, or SUV. A significance test will be conducted using the data to determine if there is convincing evidence at α = 0.05 that the distribution of type of vehicle driven differs between adults (age 20–45) with children and adults without children. What are the hypotheses for this test? H0: There is in the distribution of vehicle type driven between adults (aged 20–45) with children and adults without children. Ha: There is in the distribution of vehicle type driven between adults (aged 20–45) with children and adults without children.
Data from the Department of Motor Vehicles indicate that 80% of all licensed drivers are older than age 25. In a sample of n = 50 people who recently received speeding tickets, 33 were older than age 25 and the other 17 were age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use alpha = .05. In a sample of n = 50 people who recently received parking tickets, 36 were older than age 25 and the other 14 were age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use alpha = .05.
In a previous poll, 37% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 418 of 1183 adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the α=0.05 significance level. Find the test statistic, z0. Find the p-value.
A random sample of 160 car accidents are selected and categorized by the age of the driver determined to be at fault. The results are listed below. The age distribution of drivers for the given categories is 18% for the under 26 group, 39% for the 26-45 group, 31% for the 45-65 group, and 12% for the group over 65. Find the rejection region used to test the claim that all ages have crash rates proportional to their number of drivers.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 2017) estimates that 10.9% of the population of the United States age 18–24 had an episode of depression in the previous 12 months. Suppose a researcher takes a random sample of 225 United States adults aged 18–24. Determine the value of the sample proportion, p, such that 5% of samples of 225 United States adults age 18–24 are greater than p. You may find software or a z-table useful. Give your answer precise to three decimal places. p = II
A study in a journal published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (as reported in the Miami Herald, Jan. 14, 1997) seems to suggest that preschoolers who drink more than 12 ounces of fruit juice a day tend to be heavier and shorter than preschoolers who do not. The study involved a random sample of 168 healthy youngsters of whom 59 drank on average more than 12 ounces of fruit juice per day. Each child was weighed and measured. The measurements were then converted to percentage of normal height and weight for a child of that age and gender. For example, a weight percentage of 1.1 indicates that the child is 10% heavier than average. A recorded 0.80 indicates the child is 20% below the average. An average weight is recorded as 1.0. Same with height. Column 1: Juice 1- indicates child DID drink > 12 oz 2- child DID NOT drink > 12 oz Column 2: Weight% weight converted to percent of…
