The sales rep of a waterbed claims that 25% of the Filipino died because of cardiovascular diseases. A researcher wants to test this claim. A hospital record shows that out of a random sample of 200 dead patients, 55 patients died because of cardiovascular diseases. Does the data provide sufficient evidence to support the claim of the sales rep? Use 0.03 level of significance.

During the 1990s, the fatality rate for lung cancer was 80 per 100,000 people. After the turn of the century and the establishment of newer treatments and adjustment in public health advertising, a random sample of 10,000 people exhibits only six deaths due to lung cancer. Test at the 0.05 significance level whether that data are proof of a reduced fatality rate for lung cancer. b. Make the decision rule. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Evaluate the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
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 705.6. 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 34 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 724.4 with a standard deviation of 84.4. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the α=0.05 level of significance. 1) Find: P-value 2) Make a conclusion regarding the hypothesis.
a store claims that on the average they sell 800 pieces of candies. during the last five days, 785,805, 790, 793, 802 pieces were sold. Do these value indicate that the average number os candies sold is less than 800 that the store claims? Test at the 5% level of significance.

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0. A) What are the correct null and alternative hypotheses? B)What is the parameter of interest?
