Spam: A researcher reported that 71.8% of all email sent in a recent month was spam. A system manager at a large corporation believes that the percentage at his company may be 70%. He examines a random sample of 500 emails received at an email server, and finds that 374 of the messages are spam. Can you conclude that the percentage of emails that are spam is greater than 70% ?

Night Owls proportion of MSU students who regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night is less than the value reported by the MSU psychologist. She randomly selects 215 students and asks them, "Do you regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night?" She finds that 77 of the 215 students answered "yes" to the question. A MSU psychologist reports that 40% of MSU students regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night. Cindy believes that the actual 1.

Suppose you are conducting a paired t test to determine whether or not caffeine has an effect on heart rate. You have a sample of 60 participants and they ingest no caffeine each day for a week. At the end of the week, you measure their heart rates and find the mean. Then, the same 60 participants are given 500mg of caffeine every day for a week and again, at the end of the week you measure their heart rates and find the mean. What would the null hypothesis be for this test?
Suppose Laura, a facilities manager at a health and wellness company, wants to estimate the difference in the average amount of time that men and women spend at the company's fitness centers each week. Laura randomly selects 15 adult male fitness center members from the membership database and then selects 15 adult female members from the database. Laura gathers data from the past month containing logged time at the fitness center for these members. She plans to use the data to estimate the difference in the time men and women spend per week at the fitness center. The sample statistics are summarized in the table. Population Populationdescription Population mean(unknown) Samplesize Sample mean(min) Sample standarddeviation (min) 11 male μ1 n=15 x¯1=137.7 s=51.7 22 female μ2 n=15 x¯2=114.6 s=34.2 df=24.283 The population standard deviations are unknown and unlikely to be equal, based on the sample data. Laura plans to use the two-sample ?-t-procedures to estimate the…
A drug company claims that an allergy medication causes headaches in 5% of those who take it. A medical researcher believes that more than 5% of those who take the drug actually get headaches. Identify the population(s). 5% of those who take the drug actually get headaches. the proportion of those who take the drug who get a headache. all individuals who take the medication. more than 5% of those who take the drug actually get headaches. What is the variable being examined for individuals in the population(s)? more than 5% of those who take the drug actually get headaches. the proportion of those who take the drug who get a headache. whether or not a person who takes the drug gets a headache. 5% of those who take the drug actually get headaches.
In 2016 the Better Business Bureau settled 84% of complaints they received in the United States. Suppose you have been hired by the Better Business Bureau to investigate the complaints they received this year involving new car dealers. You plan to select a sample of new car dealer complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Better Business Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for new car dealers is 0.84, the same as the overall proportion of complaints settled in 2016. Use the z-table. a. Suppose you select a sample of 200 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of p. E(p) (to 2 decimals) (to 4 decimals) b. Based upon a sample of 200 complaints, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals)? probability : = c. Suppose you select a sample of 460 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of p. E(F) (to 2…
In a study of how depression may affect one's ability to survive a heart attack, the researchers reported the ages of the two groups they examined. The mean age of 2397 patients without cardiac disease was 69.8 years, while for the 450 patients with cardiac disease, the mean age was 74.0, respectively. Furthermore, 32% of the diseased group were smokers, compared with only 23.7% of those free of heart disease. (1) Determine a 96% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of smokers in the two groups. (ii) Indicate whether the two groups in the study were different. State the assumptions in order to proceed with the confident interval construction. (ii)
Approval 2008. Of all the post–World War II presidents,Richard Nixon had the highest disapproval rating near theend of his presidency. His disapproval rating peaked at 66% in July 1974, just before he resigned. This percent-age has been considered by some pundits as a high water mark for presidential disapproval. However, in April 2008,George W. Bush’s disapproval rating peaked at 69%,according to a Gallup poll of 1016 voters. Pundits starteddiscussing whether his rating was discernibly worse thanthe previous high water mark of 66%. What do you think?
Supposed that in the past, 10% of women in the Philippines have severe dysmenorrhea. Do we have enough reason to believe that the proportion of women having terrible cramps has decreased if, in a random barangay population of 1,256 women, 122 have severe enough cramping to interfere with their daily lives? Use a = 0.05
A Verizon researcher compared the number of text messages sent by a sample of teenage boys to the population mean for all Verizon users. She found no evidence to conclude that there was a difference. Unfortunately, her conclusion was in error. (a) What type of error did she make? (b) What conclusion should she have reached?
Kris works for the MESA Air Pollution Study at UW, and studies the correlation be- tween air pollution and the disease atherosclerosis. Nationally, 40% of adults suffer from atherosclerosis. Kris suspects that the proportion of people with atherosclerosis in high- pollution areas is higher. In a random sample of 600 residents of high-pollution areas, he finds that 270 (45%) subjects have atherosclerosis. At the 1% level (α = .01), is this good evidence that people in high-pollution areas are more likely to have atherosclerosis? (a) Which of the following is the Ha ? (research claim or alternate) A. Ha : p ≥ 0.40 B. Ha : pb ≥ 0.40 C. Ha : p > 0.40 D. Ha : p > b 0.40 E. Ha : p > b 0.45 F. Ha : p > 0.45 G. Ha : pb ≥ 0.45 H. Ha : p ≥ 0.45 I.
