Suppose 224 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 52 of them developed nausea. Use a 0.1 significance level to test the claim that more than 20% of users develop nausea. a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. b) Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. c) Identify the P-Value for this hypothesis test. d) Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test. 1) Reject. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the support of the claim that more than 20% of users develop nausea. 2) Fail to reject. There is sufficient evidence. 3) Fail to reject. There is not sufficient evidence. 4) Reject. There is sufficient evidence.
In a recent study, researchers found that 31 out of 150 boys aged 7-13 were overweight or obese. On the basis of this study can we conclude that more than 15% of the boys aged 7-13 in the sampled population are overweight or obese? Use a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.

A recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report states that 65% of all domestically produced food products are pesticide free. Suppose an FDA spokesperson believes that less than 65% of all foreign produced food products are pesticide free. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses that would be used to test the spokesperson’s belief
Historically, the percentage of U.S. residents who support stricker gun control laws has been 52%. In order to see if the support for strick gun control laws has decreased, a random sample of 1011 people was interviewed and found that 495 were in favor of stricker gun control laws a) Set up the null and alternative hypothesis in symbols. b) Calculate the sample proportion and of who support stricker gun control laws. c) Find the standard error of the proportion d) Find the value of z statistic. e) Find the P-value f) If the level of significance is 0.05, what is your conclusion about gun control support ( it remains same or changed)

The mean SAT Score in mathematics is 506. The founders of a nationwide SAT preparation course claim that graduates of the course score higher, on average, than the national mean. Suppose that the founders of the course want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if their claim has merit. State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H, that they would use.
According to a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted during June 24 - 28, 2011, 55% of the American adults polled said that owning a home is a very important part of the American Dream ( The New York Times, June 30, 2011)Suppose this result was true for the population of all American adults in 2011. In a recent poll of 1820 American adults, 62 said that owning a home is a very important part of the American DreamPerform a hypothesis test to determine whether it is reasonable to conclude that the percentage of all American adults who currently hold this opinion is higher than 55%. Use a 5% significance level use both the p value and the critical value approaches. Round your answers for the observed value of zand the critical value of z to two decimal places , and the pvalue to four decimal places z observed=p-value=critical value=
Do the needs of patients in the emergency room differ for those who come by car vs. those by ambulance? Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by car 51 had an injury, 40 were sick, 31 had heart problems and 61 had other needs. Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by ambulance 45 had an injury, 30 were sick, 55 had heart problems and 38 had other needs. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test using an a = 0.10 level of significance. a. What is the correct statistical test to use? O Paired t-test O Homogeneity Goodness-of-Fit O Independence b. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: O Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are independent. Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are dependent. The distribution of emergency room needs for patients who come by car is the same as it is for patients who come by ambulance. The distribution of emergency room needs for patients who…

A poll reported that 32% of 195 Canadians between the ages of 25 and 29 had started saving money for retirement. Of the 205 Canadians surveyed between the ages of 21 and 24, 26% had started saving for retirement. Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test and see whether there is any difference between the proportions of Canadians between the ages of 25 and 29 and the ages of 21 and 24 who had started saving for retirement. (a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Họ: p HA: P (b) What is the test statistic? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places, if needed.) (c) Using the statistical table, what is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places, if needed.) (d) Based on the p-value, what can you conclude? There is about a 18.68% chance that the two proportions are equal. O If there is no difference in the proportions, there is about a 9.34% chance of seeing the observed difference or larger (as extreme or more extreme) by natural sampling variation. O There is about a…
A university has decided to introduce the use of plus and minus grading as long as there is evidence that 60% of the faculty is in support of this change. Write an appropriate null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis to test if the proportion is greater than 60%.
Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 159 said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school. A. A newspaper article states that only a minority of the American adults who decide not to go to college do so because they cannot afford it and uses the point estimate from this survey as evidence. State the null and alternative hypotheses both in symbols and in words. B. State and check the conditions for the hypothesis test.
