Recall the conditions for a binomial probability. There are n independent trials, each with only one of two outcomes, a success or a failure. The probability of a success, p, is the same for each trial. The expected value, also referred to as µ, is calculated as µ = np, where n is the sample size. For this scenario, there are two options - either someone smokes, or they do not. Let a success be that someone in this group is a smoker. It was given that 20% of adults smoke. Convert this percentage to a probability. percentage probability of a success = 100% % p = 100% Use the found probability of a success, p, to find the expected number of adults in the sample of 350 who smoke. H = np 350(|

In the fictional city of Statisticsville, last year residents spent an average of $12 per month using grocery pickup services (where you purchase groceries online and then drive to the store to pick them up). A journalist wants to know if people today in the (fictional) city of Statisticsville are spending more per month on average compared to last year. Her hypotheses are: Hoi u =12 HA: H> 12 She selects a random sample of 89 people at a large public space in Statisticsville and finds their average spending per month on grocery pickup fees is $12.19 with a standard deviation of $4.15.

A study is conducted in a large high school to determine if the proportion of students who plan to come to the upcoming football game differs across the grades. A random sample of 50 ninth graders, 50 tenth graders, 50 eleventh graders, and 50 twelfth graders was selected. The responses are displayed in the table. The principal would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of responses differs across the grades in the population of all students in her school. The random and 10% conditions are met, and this table of expected counts shows that all expected counts are at least 5. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic for this test? χ‑2 = 0.49 χ‑2 = 0.70 χ‑2 = 0.84 χ‑2 = 200
When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg. gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.

A survey is conducted to determine if there is a difference in the proportion of students, parents, and teachers who volunteer at least once a month. To investigate, a random sample of 45 students, 25 parents, and 12 teachers was selected from a large high school. The data are displayed in the tables. Observed counts: Expected counts: The researcher would like to test these hypotheses: H0: There is no difference in the distribution of responses among these three populations.Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of responses among these three populations. The conditions for inference are met. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic and what are the degrees of freedom for this test? χ‑2 = 0.19, df = 2χ‑2 = 0.19, df = 5χ‑2 = 0.44, df = 2χ‑2 = 0.44, df = 5
Determine whether the results appear to have statistical significance, and also determine whether the results appear to have practical significance. In a study of a birth sex selection method used to increase the likelihood of a baby being born female, 1942 users of the method gave birth to 948 males and 994 females. There is about a 15% chance of getting that many babies born female if the method had no effect. Because there is a 15% chance of getting that many babies born female if the method had no effect, the method does not have statistical significance. Not many couples would likely use a procedure that raises the likelihood of a baby born female from the approximately 50% rate expected by chance to the 51.2 % produced by this method. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) So, this method does not have practical significance.
Use the data and table below to test the indicated claim about the means of two paired populations (matched pairs). Assume that the two samples are each simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Make sure you identify all values. The table below shows the blood glucose of 20 students before breakfast and two hours after breakfast, using a specific insulin dosing formula to cover carbohydrates. Is there compelling statistical evidence that the specific insulin dosing formula is effective in reducing blood glucose levels? Use a significance level of 0.05. We have the differences (gain or loss), but we still need to compute the mean, standard deviation, and know the sample size for the differences (use Excel or Sheets for this computation). Once those are found, we can apply methods that are used for a 1 sample t-test. Student Before Meal After Meal Difference 1 161 114 -47 2 196 88 -108 3 132 80 -52 4 175 96 -79 5 169 112 -57 6 138 137…
