- A researcher assures that in his country, on average, the salary of workers is less than $5000.00. He takes a sample of 7 workers and finds that their salary is: $3900.00, $5100.00, $3100.00, $5500.00, $2700.00, $4500.00, $4100.00 Can you be sure at the 0.02 level of significance that the researcher is correct? Choose 1. The correct conclusion2. The correct interpretation Select one:to)1. H0 is rejected2. With a confidence of 98% it can be ensured that the average wage of the workers is not less than $5000.00b)1. H0 is not rejected2.

It can be ensured, with 98% confidence, that the average wage of the workers is less than $5,000.00A medical school claims that more than 28% of its students plan to go into general practice. It is found that among a random sample of 130 of the school's students, 39% of them plan to go into general practice. You wish to conduct a significance test to evaluate the school's claim.A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 285 people over the age of 55, 68 dream in black and white, and among 307 people under the age of 25, 14 dream in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. An explanation for the results is that those over the age of 55 grew up exposed to media that was displayed in black and white. Can these results be used to verify that explanation? OA. No. The results speak to a possible difference between the proportions of people over 55 and under 25 who dream in black and white, but the results cannot be used to verify the cause of such a difference. OB. No. The results speak to a possible difference between the proportions of people over 55 and under 25 who dream in black and white, but the results are not statistically significant enough to…
- USA Today ran a report about a UNC poll of 1248 adults from the southern U.S. It was reported that 8% of those surveyed believe that Elvis Presley still lives. The article began with the claim that "almost 1 out of 10" Southerners still thinks Elvis is alive. At the 0.01 significance level, test the claim that the true percentage is 10%.A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.A professor wanted to determine if the GPAS of students at Saddleback College are less consistent than the GPAS of students at Irvine Valley College. To test this, he obtains random samples of students from both colleges and records their GPAS, which are given below. Test the professor's claim at the a=0.05 level of significance.

- A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 702.4. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 41 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 721.3 with a standard deviation of 80.9. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the a= 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho H H₁ H (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Identify the t-statistic. to = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. P-value= (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Make a conclusion regarding the hypothesis. the null hypothesis. There…An article published in the “American Journal of Public Health” describes the results of a health survey administered to 119 male convicts, 50 years of age or older, residing in a state social rehabilitation center. It was found that 21.6% of them claimed to have a history of venereal diseases. Based on these findings, we wish to evaluate whether more than 15% of this population has a history of venereal diseases. What would be the p value that allows evaluating the research question? A. 4.32 B. 2.09 C. -1.72 D. 0.018 E. 0.957During the Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453), the English and French fought each other. At the Battle of Cr ́ecy, a random sample of 73 knights contained 41 English knights. At the Battle of Agincourt, a random sample of 142 knights contained 56 English knights. Use these sample and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of knights fighting at each battle who were English were equal.
- A random sample of 1100 potential voters was randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1: 500 potential voters; no registration reminders sent; 248 registered to vote Group 2: 600 potential voters; registration reminders sent; 332 registered to vote Do these data support the claim that the proportion of voters who registered was greater in the group that received reminders than in the group that did not? Use a 1% level of significance.Primary seat belt laws allow police to stop a motorist for not wearing a seat belt. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the percentage of drivers wearing seat belts in the Limpopo province was 68.5% in 2017 and 72% in 2018. Assume that these percentages are based on random samples of 1000 drivers in 2017 and 1050 in 2018. Suppose you must test at 5% level of significance whether the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. 1 Questions I) Determine the alternative hypothesis to be tested: II) Determine the value of test statistic: III) Determine the p-value for this problem: IV) the conclusion Since Z=-1.734 is greater than Z subscript 0.05 end subscript equals negative 1.645, we then reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance and conclude that the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. b) Since Z=-1.734 is less…The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal.
