(Problem for Questions 22- 25). In a study focusing on children on the autism spectrum a team of psychologists were interested in the distribution of the children on the spectrum. After having 100 children complete some tests, they categorized children as Low, Medium, High on the autism spectrum. They counted how many children were in each category and this is what they came up with: Low AS 44 Medium AS 30 High AS 26

Explain how the power of a hypothesis test is influenced by each of the following. Assume that all other actors are held constant. a. Increasing the alpha level from .01 to .05 b. Changing from a one-tailed test to a two-tailed test
A hypothesis test is performed in which the research (alternative) hypothesis states that more than 15% of a population are unemployed. The p-value for the test is calculated to be 0.018 (with the alpha = 0.05). Which of these statements is correct? A. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the research hypothesis is correct: more than 15% of the population are unemployed. B. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that more than 18% of the population are unemployed. C. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that exactly 15% of the population are unemployed. D. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that exactly 85% of the population are unemployed.
You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Suppose a certain state university's college of business obtained the following results on the salaries of a recent graduating class: Finance Majors Business Analytics Majors ni = 120 n2 = 30 X1 = $48,237 X2 = $55,217 s = $19,000 S2 = $10,000 (a) Formulate hypotheses so that, if the null hypothesis is rejected, we can conclude that salaries for Finance majors are significantly lower than the salaries of Business Analytics majors. Use a = 0.05. (Let u, = the population mean salary for Finance majors, and let u, = the population mean salary for Business Analytics majors. Enter != for # as needed.) Ho: H3: (b) What is the value the test statistic? (Use u, - Hy. Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value = (d) What is your conclusion? O Do not reject Ho. We can conclude that salaries for Finance majors are significantly lower than the…
Suppose a group of 700 smokers (who all wanted to give up smoking) were randomly assigned to receive an antidepressant drug or a placebo for six weeks. Of the 223 patients who received the antidepressant drug, 81 were not smoking one year later. Of the 477 patients who received the placebo, 80 were not smoking one year later. Given the null hypothesis H0:(pdrug−pplacebo)=0H0:(pdrug−pplacebo)=0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha:(pdrug−pplacebo)≠0Ha:(pdrug−pplacebo)≠0, conduct a test to see if taking an antidepressant drug can help smokers stop smoking. Use α=0.03α=0.03,
section 10.3 Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 3: Do we reject the null hypothesis? Is there sufficient or insufficient data?
Question 22
The manufacturer of a new antidepressant claims that, among all people with depression who use the drug, the proportion p of people who find relief from depression is at least 65%. A random sample of 170 patients who use this new drug is selected, and 100 of them find relief from depression. Based on these data, can we reject the manufacturer's claim at the 0.1 level of significance? State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 Find the z test value Find the p-value Can we reject the claim that the proportion of people who find relief from depression using the new antidepressant is at least 65%? Yes or No?
A recent study found that 18 out of 30 students believe that 8 AMs are tougher than other class times. Research at the beginning of the semester found that 43% of the class felt that 8 AMs are tougher than other class times. The professor is curious if this means 8 AMs are indeed tougher than other class times. Which of the following is the null hypothesis? 1. Ho: p > 0.43 2. Ho: p = 0.43 3. Ho: p < 0.43 4. Ho: p != 0.43 Which of the following is the alternate hypothesis? Group of answer choices 1. Ha: p = 0.43 2. Ha: p < 0.43 3. Ha: p > 0.43 4. Ha: p != 0.43 What is the Z score of our test statistic?
Imagine you are doing a Related-Samples t-test, and you are on Step Two of the hypothesis test. The sample of difference scores that you calculated is -1, -1, -3, +2, 0, -4. If you are doing the test with α = .01, and two tails, what would he correct t-critical be?
Suppose a group of 1000 smokers (who all wanted to give up smoking) were randomly assigned to receive an antidepressant drug or a placebo for six weeks. Of the 383 patients who received the antidepressant drug, 122 were not smoking one year later. Of the 617 patients who received the placebo, 106 were not smoking one year later. Given the null hypothesis H0: (pdrug−pplacebo)=0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha: (pdrug−pplacebo)≠0, conduct a test to see if taking an antidepressant drug can help smokers stop smoking. Use α=0.05, (a) The test statistic is (b) The P-value is (c) The final conclusion is A. There seems to be evidence that the patients taking the antidepressant drug have a different success rate of not smoking after one year than the placebo group. B. There is not sufficient evidence to determine whether the antidepressant drug had an effect on changing smoking habits after one year.
Suppose that a researcher decides that he MUST obtain a Type 1 error level of no more than 0.01 in order to reject the null hypothesis. After analyzing his data he finds that the results are significant at p = 0.05 but not at p = 0.01. If he is not able to change the maximum allowed Type 1 error level, then the researcher should Question 5 options: retain the null hypothesis because 0.05 is greater than 0.01. retain the null hypothesis because 0.05 is merely sampling error. reject the null hypothesis because 0.05 is close to 0.01. reject the null hypothesis because 0.05 is greater than 0.01.
Suppose that we have a problem for which the null and alternative hypothesis are given by: H0: μ = $1250. H1:μ ≠ $ 1250 Is this a right-tailed test, left-tailed test, or two-tailed test. Find the z value based on a level of significance of α=.12.
