Suppose we would like to test the hypothesis that at least 10% of students suffer from allergies. We collect a random sample of 225 students and 21 of them suffer from allergies. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Obtain a test statistic and a P-value. State the conclusion at the α=0.05 level

Increasing numbers of businesses are offering child-care benefits for their workers. However, one union claimsthat more than 85% of firms in the manufacturing sector still do not offer any child-care benefits to theirworkers. A random sample of 490 manufacturing firms is selected and asked if they offer child-care benefits. Suppose the P-value for this test was reported to be p = 0.1070. Use ? = 0.10. A) Hypothesis: Ho : Ha :B) Decision about Ho based on the statistic.C) Conclusion about the problem statement.
In the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401,974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and 33 of those children developed polio. The other 200,745 children were given a placebo, and 115 of those children developed polio. If we want to test the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the Salk vaccine, are the requirements for the hypothesis test satisfied? Explain.
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 140 pregnant mothers and finds that 2 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the a = 0.1 level of significance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? = 0.04 versus H4: p < 0.04 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Ho: P Because npo (1-Po) = < 10, the normal model may not be used to approximate the P-value. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Women athletes at the a certain university have a long-term graduation rate of 67%. Over the past several years, a random sample of 37 women athletes at the school showed that 19 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than 67%? Use a 1% level of significance. State the null and alternate hypotheses.a) H0: p = 0.67; H1: p ≠ 0.67b) H0: p = 0.67; H1: p < 0.67 c) H0: p = 0.67; H1: p > 0.67d) H0: p < 0.67; H1: p = 0.67 (b) What sampling distribution will you use?a)The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.b)The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. c)The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.d)The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.

Assume the critical value on the right side of a Z distribution was 1.96. A researcher received a sample mean that he translated into a z score of 2.5. What decision should the researcher make regarding the null hypothesis?
Previously, 5% 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 5% today. She randomly selects 150 pregnant mothers and finds that 5 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the a = 0.05 level of significance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? = 0.05 versus H,: p < 0.05 Ho: P (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Because npo (1- Po) = [ (Round to one decimal place as needed.) V 10, the normal model V be used to approximate the P-value.
From 2012-2017 the 5 year remission rate of Breast cancer was 91%. Suppose we wish to know if that percentage has changed in 2020. We take a random sample of 360 breast cancer survivors from 2015-2020 and find out that 315 have remained in remission since. Use a significance level of α = .05. (a) State the null and alternate hypothesis (b) Can we continue with testing the hypothesis? Why or why not? (c) If possible, proceed with the hypothesis test and reach a conclusion.
Women athletes at a certain university have a long-term graduation rate of 67%. Over the past several years, a random sample of 38 women athletes at the school showed that 21 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than 67% ? Use a 1% level of significance.

A two-tailed hypothesis test is being used to evaluate a treatment effect with α = .05. If the sample data produce a z-score of z = -2.24, which is the correct decision?
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 135 pregnant mothers and finds that 4 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the a= 0.1 level of significance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Họ: P = 0.04 versus H,: p < 0.04 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Because npo (1- Po) =U (Round to one decimal place as needed.) 10, the normal model be used to approximate the P-value.
An researcher has decided to use significant level α = 0.01 for her experiment. What is the consequence? Group of answer choices The probability of a Type II error is small. There is a small chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. The probability of a Type I error is large. If the null hypothesis is false, the experimenter will easily be able to reject it.
A data set includes data from student evaluations of courses. The summary statistics are n=82, x=4.85, s=0.72. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the population of student course evaluations has a mean equal to 5.00. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value.What are the null and alternative hypotheses?Determine the test statistic.(Round to two decimal places as needed.)Determine the P-value.
