The parent association at a local high school believes that the amount of time spent on homework by students at the school, on average, is more than the school's policy of an average of 30 minutes of homework per class. To test this claim, the administrators selected a random sample of 50 students, calculated the amount of time each student spent on homework per class, and tested the hypotheses listed here: H: μ- 30 Ha : μ> 30 %3| Where = the mean number of minutes spent on homework, per class, for all students in the school. The mean number of minutes spent on homework, per class, for the students in the sample was = 34. 7 minutes and the standard deviation ST = 10. 4 was minutes. The administrators performed a significance test and obtained a P-value of 0.0012. What conclusion would you make for the given significance test levels?

Epistasis is a phenomenon in which one gene controls the expression of another. In one case, a dihybrid cross should yield a 9:3:4 ratio. You collect the following data on mice: black coat: 138 brown coat: 46 white coat: 60 Is there any reason to doubt the ratio of 9 black : 3 brown : 4 white?
A manufacturer of children's vitamins claims that its vitamins are mixed so that each batch has exactly the following percentages of each color: 10 % green, 30 % yellow, 30 % red, and 30 % orange. To test the claim that these percentages are incorrect, 100 bottles of vitamins were sampled and the colors of the vitamins were tallied. The results are listed in the following table. At a = 0.025, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentages stated by the vitamin manufacturer are incorrect. Children's Vitamins Green Yellow Red Orange Number 590 1765 1717 1615 Copy Data Step 2 of 4: Calculate the expected value for the number of vitamins that are orange. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary.
When trying to determine how many samples are needed to perform an experiment, the desired accuracy of the results are often a determining factor. Dr. Smith has designed a new scanner capable of determining blood bilirubin levels using a cell phone. Because this is a diagnostic device, Dr. Smith is concerned not just about having small standard errors, but also having good estimates for population percentiles. If he needs to determine the 95th percentile to an accuracy of 5%, what is the number of samples needed to ensure that the percentile as determined from his data (using a t distribution) is within 5% of the percentile as calculated as if the standard deviation was taken from the entire population (using a z distribution)?
Consider the following studies. Study I: A researcher randomly divided 200 high school students into two groups. The first group was told to not exercise. The second group was told to exercise at least 5 hours each week. At the end of two months, the heart rates of each participant in each group were measured at rest. It was found that the group that exercised 5 hours a week had a significantly lower average heart rate. Study II: A researcher gathered 200 high school students randomly, asked them how long they exercised each week, and then measured their heart rates at rest. It was found that students who exercised at least 5 hours a week had a significantly lower average heart rate. Part A: Which study was experimental? Why?

Have you ever been frustrated because you could not get a container of some sort to release the last bit of its contents? An article reported on an investigation of this issue for various consumer products. Suppose five 6.0 oz tubes of toothpaste of a particular brand are randomly selected and squeezed until no more toothpaste will come out. Then each tube is cut open and the amount remaining is weighed, resulting in the following data: 0.51, 0.63, 0.42, 0.5, 0.35. Does it appear that the true average amount left is less than 10% of the advertised net contents? USE SALT (a) Check the validity of any assumptions necessary for testing the appropriate hypotheses.

The recidivism rate for convicted sex offenders is 12%. A warden suspects that this percent is different if the sex offender is also a drug addict. Of the 322 convicted sex offenders who were also drug addicts, 48 of them became repeat offenders. What can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use z-test for a population proportion V b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? v Select an answer (please enter a decimal) H1: ? v Select an answer v (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic ? v = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? V a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer v the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 12% at a = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of…
