To test the claim that American quarters are biased towards heads, suppose you flip an American quarter n= 1000 times and obtain x= 515 heads. You determine the P-value for this result is P=0.1714. What is your conclusion? This sample gives sufficient evidence to accept the claim that American quarters are biased towards heads, at the 5% significance level. This sample gives insufficient evidence to accept the claim that American quarters are biased towards heads, at the 5% significance level. This sample gives sufficient evidence to reject the claim that American quarters are biased towards heads, at the 5% significance level. This sample gives insufficient evidence to reject the claim that American quarters are biased towards heads, at the 5% significance level.

A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate this year's mean hourly wage, u, of foodservice workers in the U.S. Last year's mean hourly wage was $8.25, and there is reason to believe that this year's value is less than last year's. The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed decreased. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $7.98, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.25. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? |Ho: u is ? H: u is ? v|? ? In the context of this test, what is a Type I error? v the hypothesis that u is ? A Type I error is ? fact, u is ? v when, in Suppose that the union decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be making? ?
Suppose an instructor would like to know if there is difference in the performance of her two courses of 560 students each. She proceeds to take a random sample of size 50 from each independent class and was able to establish the following results: mean SD Class 1 86 17 Class 2 78 15 Is there a significant difference between the two classes at a significance level of five percent?
A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 300 people over the age of 55,80 dream in black and white, and among 287 people under the age of 25, 14 dreams in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. An explanation for the results is that those over the age of 55 grew up exposed to media that was displayed in black and white. Can these results be used to verify that explanation?

A researcher assures that in his country, on average, the salary of workers is less than $5000.00. He takes a sample of 7 workers and finds that their salary is: $3900.00, $5100.00, $3100.00, $5500.00, $2700.00, $4500.00, $4100.00 Can you be sure at the 0.02 level of significance that the researcher is correct?

A graduate student believes that people consider faces with more contrast between lip color and skin tone as more feminine. She identifies the null hypothesis as: Ho: The level of contrast between lip color and skin tone does not affect how feminine a face is considered. She chooses a significance level of 0.05. After she collects the data and computes the sample statistics, it is time for her to make a decision about the null hypothesis. What are the two possible decisions that the graduate student can make? Check all that apply. There is not enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone affects how feminine a face is considered. There is enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone does not affect how feminine a face is considered. There is enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone affects how feminine a face is considered. ☐ There is not enough…
An article published in the “American Journal of Public Health” describes the results of a health survey administered to 119 male convicts, 50 years of age or older, residing in a state social rehabilitation center. It was found that 21.6% of them claimed to have a history of venereal diseases. Based on these findings, we wish to evaluate whether more than 15% of this population has a history of venereal diseases. What would be the p value that allows evaluating the research question?

A health insurance company wants to determine if more than 25% of US residents have been to a hospital emergency room within the past year. It was found that in a sample of 1000 people, 28% indicated that they had been to an emergency room within the past year. With a significance level of 0.01, is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of US residents that have been to the emergency room in the past year is actually higher than 25%?
