Miss Marple loves tea with milk. She claims that she can taste, blindfolded, whether the tea or the milk was poured in first. In a trial of 9 cups of tea with milk, how many times does she have to get it right (at least) so that the p-value is under 10% ? Your null hypothesis here is that she does not have a special skill, she is just guessing, so her success probability is p = 0.5.

At Community Hospital, the burn center is experimenting with a new plasma compress treatment. A random sample of n1 = 304 patients with minor burns received the plasma compress treatment. Of these patients, it was found that 254 had no visible scars after treatment. Another random sample of n2 = 414 patients with minor burns received no plasma compress treatment. For this group, it was found that 93 had no visible scars after treatment. Let p1 be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns receiving the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. Let P2 be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns not receiving the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for Pi – P2.

Does the interval contain numbers that are all positive? all…
Some people say that more babies are born in September than in any other month. To test this claim, you take a random sample of 150 students at your school and find that 21 of them were born in September. You are interested in whether the proportion born in September is greater than 1/12-what you would expect if September was no different from any other month. Thus, the null hypothesis is Ho: p=1/12 . The P-value for your test is 0.0056. Which of the following statements correctly interprets the P-value? Assuming that the proportion of babies born in September is greater than any other month, there is a 0.0056 probability of getting a sample proportion of 21/150 or greater by chance alone. Assuming that the proportion of babies born in September is the same as any other month, there is a 0.0056 probability of getting a sample proportion of 21/150 or greater by chance alone. The probability that the proportion of September birthdays is not equal to 1/12 is 0.0056. The probability that…
In 1973, only 8% of the students in the city school district were classified as being learning disabled. A school psychologist suspects that the proportion of learning-disabled children has increased dramatically over the years. To demonstrate this point, a random sample of n = 13 students is selected. In this sample there are 3 students who have been identified as learning-disabled. You will use this information to determine if the sample indicates a change in the proportion of learning-disabled students at a 0.02 level of significance. Part 1: What is the hypothesized (assumed constant) population proportion for this test? p = (Report answer as a decimal accurate to 2 decimal places. Do not report using the percent symbol.) Based on the researcher's understanding of the situation, how many tails would this hypothesis test have? O one-tailed test two-tailed test
An anger-management course claims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let participants before completing the anger-management course be Population 1 and let participants after completing the anger-management course be Population 2.

In a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that 23 % 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 137 people who saw the commercials and found that 36 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:H0:p=0.23Ha:p<0.23Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places z=
A gambler simulates a new card game on a computer. Out of 500 trials he wins 200 times. So he calculates P(winning) = 200/500 = 0.40. Why is this only an estimate of the true value of P(winning)? A. There are more than 2 events B. The outcomes are not equally likely C. His estimate is not rounded to 3 decimal places D. If he were to do a different set of 500 trials, he might win 180 times and calculate a different value of P(winning)
A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 68%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H that we would use for this test. H: 0 O
Company records indicate that at most 45% of employees commute to work using public transportation. You suspect this is incorrect, so you sample 65 random employees and find that 35 of them take public transportation to work. State the null and alternative hypotheses of this test. Null Hypothesis (Ho): Alternative Hypothesis (HA): P ps v 0.4 0.4✓ To test our hypothesis, we will assume that p = 0.45 0 Is the success-failure condition of the Central Limit Theorem satisfied? Yes. Both np and n(1 − p) are ≥ 10. O No. Either np a. No. The result is not significant because the p-value is a. that We cannot dispute, with 95% confidence, the claim that at most 45% of employees commute to work using public transportation. O Our evidence suggests, with 95% confidence, that more than 45% of employees commute to work using public transportation.
Prof. Johnson conducts a hypothesis test on whether the proportion of all UBC students who bike to school (denoted as p)�) equals 30%. Specifically, Prof.Johnson has H0:p=0.3�0:�=0.3 versus HA:p≠0.3��:�≠0.3. He obtains a P�-value of 0.01. On the other hand, Prof. Smith would like to test if there is sufficient evidence to support that p� is greater than 0.3 at the 10% significance level. Based on Prof. Johnson's result, will the null hypothesis of Prof. Smith's test be rejected?A. Yes.B. No.C. There is insufficient information to tell.
