The scientific community is working to develop an antibody test to detect whether or not a person has had a particular disease A. To authorise the test in the market, the government requires that the cest should have a positive detection rate greater than 80%. A random sample of 1000 patients that had the disease A and were discharged from hospital was taken. The results show that the test was positive only for 820 of the patients. Will the government approve the test? At 1% significance level perform an appropriate hypothesis test to support the decision of the government and answer the questions below (provide numerical answers to two decimal places).

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
A simple random sample of size n = 200 drivers with a valid driver's license is asked if they drive an American-made automobile. Of the 200 drivers surveyed, 118 responded that they drive an American-made automobile. Determine if a majority of those with a valid driver's license drive an American-made automobile at the a = 0.05 level of significance. ..... What type of variable is "drive an American-made automobile, or not"? A. Qualitative with two possible outcomes B. Discrete C. Continuous…

A nutritionist in the FDA wants to compare the caloric content of medium French fries sold by Wendonald (Population 1) and McKing (Population 2) fast-food chains, to see if there is any difference between them. To test this, random samples from each chain is taken and the caloric contents of French fries are measured. The finding is summarized in the table on next page. Conduct an independent-samples t test to test whether there is any difference between the caloric content of French fries sold by the two chains, following the steps below. Wendonald McKing = 32 = 30 = 390 calories = 365 calories = 30 calories = 38 calories Write down the null and alternative hypotheses using proper notation Calculate (Write all steps) What is the value of for α = 0.05 with a two-tailed test?
An experiment was conducted to test if 2 new anti-anxiety medications will have an effect on number of anxiety symptoms. The researcher randomly assigned participants to one of the three experimental groups. Groups 1 and 2 took the 2 new medications while Group 3 took a placebo pill. The researcher was interested in determining whether there would be a difference in the number of anxiety symptoms among the three groups. Assume an alpha level of 0.05 and a two-tailed test. What statistical test should you use to evaluate the hypothesis above? one-way independent ANOVA Pearson Product-Moment Correlation simple linear regression multiple linear regression three-way independent ANOVA
In the previous year, 40% of women over the age of fifty had regularly scheduled mammograms. Following last year's test, a campaign was initiated to encourage women to be tested regularly. This year, a cancer research group surveys a random sample of 450 women, and 195 respond affirmatively. With a 5% significance level, test to see if the campaign was effective.
