Q6.6. Imagine that a new, deadly coronavirus arises and starts a global pandemic. Experts are worried because the disease spreads easily, having a basic repréductive number, R 0, of 5. The good news is that an effective vaccine is quickly developed. What proportion of the population, Pe, would need to be vaccinated to ensure that the disease can no longer spread?

61. A researcher selected a sample of 268 former student athletes from a list of graduates of a large university. A total of 17% of the sample of athletes had earned graduate degrees as compared to 14% of all graduates. Is the difference statistically significant? Follow the five step model and state all important decisions. Make sure that you interpret the results in terms of the original research question. ANSWER: Z (obtained) =

A machine has three components but can remain functional if at least two are working. Suppose that the failure times are exponential with means 2 months, 1 month, and 4 months, respectively for each component. What is the aver: ge length of time the machine can remain functional?
Recent studies have shown that adult men suffer from high blood pressure at a lesser rate than do adult women. To test that claim, a research randomly selected 200 of each gender and tested their blood pressure. The results revealed that 49 of the men and 62 of the women suffered from high blood pressure. Can you conclude that the proportion of men with high blood pressure is less than the proportion of women? Use α = 0.05.
In 1992 a national vital statistics report indicated that about 2.3% of all births produced twins. Is the rate of twin births th same among very young mothers? Data from a large city hospital found only 7 sets of twins were born to 455 teenage girls. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure the appropriate assumptions and conditions are satisfied before you proceed. MA: P >0.023 B. Ho: p=0.023 HA: P = 0.023 OC. Ho: p=0.023 HA: P<0.023 OD. The assumptions and conditions are not met, so the test cannot proceed. Determine the z-test statistic.

2. The drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 242 boys aged ten - twelve years old, it was found that 68 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 - 15 who take Ritalin is 22%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 - 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type II error is in context.
In the period of 2010 – 2020 in the United States 1/3 of patients 55 years old or older had a seasonal flu vaccine. The risk of death for a flu-vaccinated person 55 years or older in the following 10 months is 0.6 deaths per 1,000 flu-vaccinated persons 55 years old or older. The risk of death for a non-vaccinated 55 year old or older person in the same 10 month period is 5 deaths per 1,000. Given these numbers, what is the probability that a person 55 years or older in the United States will survive 10 months into that year's flu season?
The largest cat in North America is the Jaguar, they can sometimes be seen in the mountains of southern Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, (and less recently southern California). The rate of observances by humans is about 3/20 years. Assume we don't get Trump's border wall which would isolate the US population from the rest, and presumably cut off their chance of breeding. Chances of seeing 5 or more separate Jaguars within 5 years is 0.0011. a. Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region (very different times). Each year your cameras catch about 40 of these animals and about 30 cougars and about 400 bear and 800 feral Hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for poisson. Given your camera Network catches a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them): Out of 200 large non human animals what is the probabilty that between 80 and 150 are feral hogs?
A drug company creates a medicine designed to prevent colds, and states that it is equally effective for men and women. To test this claim, they give the medicine to 100 men and 200 women. At the end of the study, 33 men and 95 women caught a cold. Can we say that the drug is equally effective for men and women? (Use α = .01)
1. A group of investigators wishes to explore the relationship between the use of hair dyes and the development of breast cancer in females. A group of 100 beauticians 40–49 years of age is identified and followed for five years. After five years, 20 new cases of breast cancer have occurred. Assume that breast cancer incidence over this time period for average American women in this age group is 30/100. We wish to test the hypothesis that using hair dyes decrease the risk of breast cancer. Compute p-value the answer is not 0.0021 a) 0 b) 47.6190
9 Question 4 A quality control engineer at a potato chip company tests the bag filling machine by weighing bags of potato chips. Not every bag contains exactly the same weight. But if more than 16% of bags are over-filled then they stop production to fix the machine. They define over-filled to be more than 1 ounce above the weight on the package. The engineer weighs 129 bags and finds that 27 of them are over-filled. He plans to test the hypotheses Ho: p = 0.16 versus H:p> 0.16. What is the test statistic? Z = (Please round your answer to two decimal places if necessary.)
