Suppose that a box contains black and white balls. We draw (with replacement) 6 balls from the box and obtain 4 black and 2 white. What is the maximum likelihood estimate of the proportion of black balls in the box? Use these values (0.5 , 0.6 , 0.7 , 0.8) to calculate.

Previously, 4% of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than 4% today. She randomly selects 115 pregnant mothers and finds that 3 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the α=0.1 level of significance. find p value
A water park has an 18-minute ride through man-made rapids and waterfalls. When the ride is in full operation, riding times for passengers are uniformly distributed between 0 and 18 minutes. Suppose an electrical problem leads to a temporary stoppage. What percent of the riders had been on the ride for less than 2 minutes when the stoppage occured? And what percent of the riders had been on the ride between 10 and 15 minutes when the stoppage occured?
correct interpretation of this value? O There is a 4.5% chance the proportion of blue beads in the container is 0.3. O Assuming the true proportion of blue beads in the container is 0.30, there is a 4.5% probability that the null hypothesis is true. O Assuming the true proportion of blue beads in the container is 0.30, there is a 4.5% probability that the sample proportion would be 0.20 or less by chance alone.

At Community Hospital, the burn center is experimenting with a new plasma compress treatment. A random sample of n1 = 306 patients with minor burns received the plasma compress treatment. Of these patients, it was found that 252 had no visible scars after treatment. Another random sample of n2 = 428 patients with minor burns received no plasma compress treatment. For this group, it was found that 105 had no visible scars after treatment. Let p1 be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns receiving the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. Let p2 be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns not receiving the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for p1 − p2.

The proportion of defective items is not allowed to be over 12%. A buyer wants to test whether the proportion of defectives in his shipment of 1000 items exceeds the allowable limit. The buyer takes a SRS of 100 items and finds that 19 are defective. State the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Group of answer choices Ho: p = 0.12 vs Ha: p > 0.12 Ho: p = 0.19 vs Ha: p ≠ 0.12 Ho: p = 0.12 vs Ha: p < 0.19 Ho: p = 0.12 vs Ha: p = 0.19
In a random sample of 320 cars driven at low altitude, 40 of them exceeded the standard 10 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed. In another independent random sample of 80 cars driven at high altitude, 20 of them exceeded the standard. Let P 1be the true proportion of cars that exceed the standard in low altitudes and P 2be the true proportion of cars that exceed the standard in high altitudes. What is the test statistic for testing this hypothesis.
A medical doctor claims that 40% of the patients utilize health insurance, but a social worker thinks that this proportion may be is too high. In a sample of 12 medical bills, 4 were partially covered by health insurance, what can we conclude at 0.05 level of significance. What is the summation of x and decision?
A cat-lover claims that cats are just as smart as dogs. In order to back this claim up with some evidence she organizes a study at a large local pet daycare center. A random sample of 40 cats are selected and a random sample of 40 dogs are selected. Each of the selected animals is given one hour with a trainer in which the trainer attempts to teach them to roll over. Upon conclusion of the training, the proportion of dogs and proportion of cats that have learned this skill is computed. The trainer reports that she is 90% confident that the true difference in the proportion of all dogs and all cats (pD – pC) that can learn this skill with one hour of training is between –0.05 to 0.28. Which of the following conclusions can be made based upon this confidence interval? (A) Because most of the values in the confidence interval are positive, this proves that dogs are smarter than cats. (B) Because the point estimate of the confidence interval is positive, there is convincing evidence…
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…

A demographer wants to know what proportion of women in different countries dye their hair. They take a random sample of women from Korea and another random sample of women from China. In Korea, 47% dyed their hair. In China, 56% dyed their hair. (a) What hypotheses would the demographer use to test if women in China are more likely to dye their hair than women in Korea? H0: pChina=pKorea vs. Ha: pChina ≠ pKoreaH0: pChina - pKorea = 0 vs. Ha: pChina - pKorea > 0 H0: μChina-μKorea = 0 vs. Ha: μChina-μKorea ≠ 0H0: pChina-pKorea = 0.09 vs. Ha: pChina-pKorea ≠ 0.09H0: μChina = 0.56 vs. Ha: μKorea = 0.47 (b) Suppose their test yielded a p-value of 0.079. What does this mean in the context of the test? We are 7.9% confident that the results of our test are correct.If the women of two countries have the same rates of coloring their hair, the probability of getting a difference at least this large is 0.079. If we take another sample, the probability of getting the same p̂China and…
