Researchers wanted to know if therapy could help smokers quit smoking. Of the 71 smokers they tested, 39 were smoking one year after treatment. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the majority are smoking one year after treatment. What is/are the critical value(s)? ттT Arial 3 (12pt) v TE -E · -
A state agency requires a minimum of 5 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved oxygen in order for the oxygen content to be sufficient to support aquatic life. Six water specimens taken from a river at a specific location during the low-water season (July) gave readings of 4.8, 5.2, 4.8, 4.9, 4.9, and 4.6 ppm of dissolved oxygen. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the dissolved oxygen content is less than 5 ppm? Test using ? = 0.05. a) state null and alternate hypotheses b) state the test statistic c) state the rejection region d) state the conclusion
14% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a lower percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 359 people from the inner city surveyed, 43 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of αα = 0.05? For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for a population proportion t-test for a population mean The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? μ p Select an answer = ≠ > < (please enter a decimal) H1: ? p μ Select an answer < > = ≠ (Please enter a decimal) The test statistic ? t z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is ? > ≤ αα Based on this, we should Select an answer reject fail to reject accept the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly smaller than 14% at αα = 0.05, so…
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 46 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.50 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. d)Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.60 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) =__ male firefighters What price do farmers get for their watermelon crops? In the third week of July, a random sample of 45 farming regions gave a sample mean of x = $6.88 per 100 pounds of watermelon. Assume that ? is known to be $2.00 per 100 pounds.

Heart rates are determined before and 30 minutes after a Kettleball workout. It can be assumed that heart rates (bpm) are normally distributed. Use the data provided below to test to determine if average heart rates prior to the workout are significantly lower than 30 minutes after a Kettleball workout at the 0.02 level of significance. Let μ₁ = mean before workout. Select the correct Hypotheses: Ho:με 2 με Η: μι = με Η: μη μ₂ O O O Conclusion: before 69 69 65 62 63 61 after 73 75 72 70 68 59 O Fail to Reject Ho ● Reject Ho Test Statistic = p-value = Ho:μd = 0 H₁: Hd ‡0 O [three decimal accuracy] [three decimal accuracy] Ho:μα 20 Ha:Pa 0 O Interpret the conclusion in context: ● There is enough evidence to suggest the mean bpm before a Kettleball workout is lower than 30 minutes after the workout.

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…
Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Various temperature measurements are recorded at different times for a particular city. The mean of 20°C is obtained for 60 temperatures on 60 different days. Assuming that Η = 1.5°C, test the claim that the population mean is 22°C. Use a 0.05 significance level.

The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.
