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

You are conducting a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that mu is less than or equal to 850. You are testing at the 0.01 significance level. You take a sample of size 64 and calculate your test statistic to be -1.50. What would your test statistic be if, rather than mu<= 850, your null hypothesis was that mu >= 850?
A random sample of 100 male employees showed that 42 are working from home while a random sample of 100 female employees showed that 63 are working from home. Are the two population proportions equal? Test at alpha=0.05. What is Ho and Ha? And what is the test statistic value for this test? Based on the test statistic value, what is your decision?
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 23 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than 67%? Use a 10% level of significance. What is the level of significance? (b) State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p = 0.67; H1: p > 0.67 H0: p = 0.67; H1: p ≠ 0.67 H0: p < 0.67; H1: p = 0.67 H0: p = 0.67; H1: p < 0.67 What sampling distribution will you use? The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5. The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)…
Using the P-value method decide if you should reject the null hypothesis or not. In a sample of 81 adults selected from one town, it is found that 8 of them have been exposed to a particular strain of the flu. At 0.01 level of significance, you wish to test the claim that the proportion of all adults in the town that have been exposed to this strain of the flu is 8%.
More than 59% of adults would erase all their personal information. The hypothesis test results in a p value of .0241. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. Without using technical terms state a final conclusion
Regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency say that soil used in play areas should not have lead levels that exceed a 400 parts per million (ppm). Before beginning construction at a new site, an agent will take a sample of soil and run a significance test on the mean lead level in the soil. If the mean lead level in the sample is significantly higher than 400 ppm, then the soil is deemed unsafe and construction cannot continue. Here are the hypotheses for this test: Ho : µ 400 ppm (soil is unsafe) (where u is the mean lead level in the soil at the new site). Which of the following would be a Type I error in this setting? Choose 1 answer: The soil is actually safe, and the sample result is below 400 ppm. so construction continues. The soil is actually safe, and the sample result is significantly higher than 400 ppm. so construction stops. The soil is actually unsafe, and the sample result is below 400 ppm, so construction continues. The soil is actually unsafe, and the sample…
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.
You are conducting a study to see if the probability of a true negative on a test for a certain cancer is significantly different from 0.34. You use a significance level of α=0.005α=0.005. H0:p=0.34H0:p=0.34 H1:p≠0.34H1:p≠0.34You obtain a sample of size n=551n=551 in which there are 164 successes.What is the test statistic for this sample?

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly smaller than 59% at a level of significance of α= 0.01. According to your sample, 36 out of 71 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate. The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
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.
Perform the hypothesis tests as required. Use the four-step method. 3. Suppose the incidence rate of myocardial infarction (MI) was 5 per 1000 among 45- to 54-year-old men in 2000. To look at changes in incidence over time, 5000 men in this age group were followed for 1 year starting in 2010. Fifteen new cases of MI were found. Using the p-value method with α = 0.05, test the hypothesis that incidence rates of MI changed from 2000 to 2010.
You are conducting a study to see if the probability of a true negative on a test for a certain cancer is significantly different from 0.27. You use a significance level of α=0.001. H0:p=0.27H0:p=0.27 H1:p≠0.27H1:p≠0.27You obtain a sample of size n=406n=406 in which there are 97 successes.What is the test statistic for this sample?
