Sleep apnea is a condition which the sufferers stop breathing momentarily while they are asleep. This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 14.7 million out of the 312.7 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 4.7%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea. They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population's percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.7% , a simple random sample of 366 commercial truck drivers examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 25 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.7% ? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Socially conscious investors screen out stocks of alcohol and tobacco makers, firms with poor environmental records, and companies with poor labor practices. Some examples of "good," socially conscious companies are Johnson and Johnson, Dell Computers, Bank of America, and Home Depot. The question is, are such stocks overpriced? One measure of value is the P/E, or price-to-earnings ratio. High P/E ratios may indicate a stock is overpriced. For the S&P Stock Index of all major stocks, the mean P/E ratio is μ = 19. A random sample of 36 "socially conscious" stocks gave a P/E ratio sample mean of x = 17.2, with sample standard deviation s = 5.4. Does this indicate that the mean P/E ratio of all socially conscious stocks is different (either way) from the mean P/E ratio of the S&P Stock Index? Use ? = 0.05.

An auto-parts store offers a fuel additive that claims to increase a vehicle’s gas mileage. The additive is poured into a vehicle’s gasoline tank after the tank is filled. To measure the claim, two methods to collect data are proposed.

"Bullying," according to noted expert Dan Olweus, "poisons the educational environment and affects the learning of every child." Bullying and victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure depression in a group of victims and a group of bully-victims using a 26-item, 3-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among victims and bully-victims. The group of 25 victims scored an average of 25.3 with a sample standard deviation of 9 on the depression scale. The group of 23 bully-victims scored an average of 20.5 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether victims or bully-victims…

A county environmental agency suspects that the fish in a particular polluted lake have elevated mercury levels. To confirm that suspicion, five striped basses in that lake were caught and their tissues were tested for mercury. For the purpose of comparison, four striped basses in an unpolluted lake were also caught and tested. The fish tissue mercury levels in mg/kg are given below. Sample I(From Polluted Lake) 0.523 0.723 0.523 0.623 0.523 Sample II(From Unpolluted Lake) 0.323 0.223 0.523 0.323 0.000 (a) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the population means based on these data. (b) Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that fish in the polluted lake have elevated levels of mercury in their tissue.
Find the sample size required to estimate the percentage of statistics students who take their statistics course online. Assume that we want 95% confidence that proportion from the sample is within two percentage points of the true population percentage.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur most frequently in planting and cutting sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. National collegiate athletic association injury data show that female athletes injure the ACL more frequently than their male counterparts do. A sports medicine professor wants to test this claim. He surveyed 5 universities that had both men's and woman's basketball, soccer, and volleyball and asked them how many grade 3 ACL tears they had during the past 5 seasons. Using the following results, are women at greater risk than men for ACL injuries? (use a standard deviation of 0.01, one tail test). Women- 4,3, 5, 2,4 Men- 2, 0, 1 ,2, 1 What is the difference between a repeated measure study and a matched pairs study?
Joan's Nursery specializes in custom-designed landscaping for residential areas. The estimated labor cost associated with a particular landscaping proposal is based on the number of plantings of trees, shrubs, and so on to be used for the project. For cost-estimating purposes, managers use two hours of labor time for the planting of a medium-sized tree. Actual times from a sample of 10 plantings during the past month follow (times in hours).
