Nexium is a drug that can be used to reduce the acid produced by the body and heal damage to the esophagus. A researcher wants to estimate the proportion of patients taking Nexium that are healed within 8 weeks. A random sample of 224 patients suffering from acid reflux disease is obtained, and 213 of those patients were healed after 8 weeks. a. Identify the population of interest and sample of interest. what is the sample size? b. Describe the parameter of interest. c. Describe the statistic of interest. What value of the statistic obtained?

Taylor Swift is interested in learning what proportion of her fans want her to re-record her masters, so she takes a simple random sample of 500 fans and asks them. Of the 500 fans, 487 of them (97.4%) respond that they want her to re-record all of her masters. What is the parameter and what is its value? a. The parameter is the average number of all Taylor Swift fans who want her to re-record her masters, which is unknown. b. The parameter is the proportion of the sampled Taylor Swift fans who want her to re-record her masters, which is unknown. c. The parameter is the group of the sampled Taylor Swift fans who want her to re-record her masters, which is 487. d. The parameter is the proportion of the sampled Taylor Swift fans who want her to re-record her masters, which is 0.974. e. The parameter is the proportion of all Taylor Swift fans who want her to re-record her masters, which is unknown. f. The parameter is the proportion of all…
A local authority is going to study the relationship between the size of household and the daily plastic usage consumed by them. The results of a sampling given below in Table 5 indicate some values of X (weight of plastic usage) and Y (the size of household). Table 5: Weight of plastic usage (X) and size of household (Y) X 0.27 1.41 2.19 | 2.83 2.19 1.81 0.85 3.05 Y 2 3 3 4 2 1 5 i) From the above sampling, find the value of correlation coefficient r. ii) Using the same sample data set above, conduct the hypothesis testing to know whether the variable X and Y are really correlates using 95% confidence level. iii) Find out if the decision in (ii) may change if you increase the confidence level to 99%.
Researchers investigated how the size of a bowl affects how much ice cream people tend to scoop when serving themselves. At an "ice cream social," people were randomly given either a 17-oz or a 34-oz bowl (both large enough that they would not be filled to capacity.) They were then invited to scoop as much ice cream as they liked. Did the bowl size change the selected portion size? The summaries are shown. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusions. For assumptions and conditions that you cannot test, you may assume that they are sufficiently satisfied to proceed. (Assume à significance level of 0.10.) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. A. Ho: HL-Hs = 0 HA: HL-Hs #0 B. Ho: HL-Hs = 0 HA:HL-HS >0 O C.

A college administrator wants to know if there is a significant difference between sexual orientation and level of family support for students at their college. The administrator takes a random sample of students who identify as gay/lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual/straight. There were 22 students sampled in each category. A measure of family support is given with higher scores indicating more family support. The means are as follows: Gay/lesbian Bisexual Heterosexual/Straight MG/L = 16 MBi = 17 MH/S = 22 Source SS df MS F Orientation 300 Error 2961 Total What is the value of df total?
Historically, Olympic officials have reported testosterone levels in general should be u = 538 ng/dL, with o = 189, with x being normally distributed. Summer Olympic sprinters (n = 8) from the U.S. were tested for testosterone levels the morning after the opening ceremonies. Their sample mean was ng/dL. Do these data indicate that the sprinters had an overall average testosterone level greater than 538? Use a = .05. State a, H,, H1, p-value, rejection, or non-rejection, and be certain to interpret your results.

A researcher hypothesizes that different colors of cars result in different average speeds. To test this claim, she took a random sample of 20 people who own 4 different colors of colors of cars (n = 20, N = 80, G = 4), and she then tracks their average speed on the highway for a week of driving. The following ANOVA table has some of her results. Please help her answer her research questions by completing the following ANOVA table below and answering the follow-up questions.

Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 13.8 19.3 14.4 19.6 20.0 Σx = 15; Σy = 87.1; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1554.45; Σxy = 274b) Find the equation of the least-squares line.

You want to obtain a sample to estimate the proportion of a population that possess a particular genetic marker. Based on previous evidence, you believe approximately P∗=15% of the population have the genetic marker. You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 3% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?n =
Mary is running for mayor. She wants to know if she has a chance to win, so she collects a random sample of 40 citizens to see if they are going to vote for her of her opponent, Henry. Out of the 40 citizens who were asked, 24 said they were voting for Henry and the other 16 said they were voting for Mary. Using this data test H0: p=.5 vs. Ha: p>.5, where p is the true proportion of people, who will vote for Mary in the population (i.e., the entire town)? Find the p-value of this test, and what is your conclusion if the test is performed at the a=.5 level?
