**Practice Problems:****True or False:** When testing a claim using a simple random sample of ten matched pairs of heights, hypothesis tests using the p-value method, critical value method and confidence interval method will all result in the same conclusion.---In this practice problem, students are asked to determine whether the statement is true or false. The problem involves understanding the consistency of conclusions derived from different statistical methods when testing a hypothesis. Specifically, it examines if the p-value method, critical value method, and confidence interval method lead to the same conclusion when analyzing a simple random sample of ten matched pairs of heights.- **P-Value Method:** This method determines significance by comparing the p-value to a predetermined significance level (α). If the p-value is less than α, the null hypothesis is rejected.- **Critical Value Method:** This involves comparing a test statistic to a critical value determined from a statistical distribution. If the test statistic exceeds the critical value, the null hypothesis is rejected.- **Confidence Interval Method:** This method involves constructing a confidence interval around the sample statistic. If the interval does not contain the null hypothesis value, it is rejected.These methods often lead to the same conclusion, especially when the same significance level is used, but students are encouraged to explore situations where methods might differ and understand the underlying assumptions and calculations of each. Note: There are no graphs or diagrams presented in the given text that require any additional explanation.

A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 420 babies were born, and 336 of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born. Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective?
If the confidence interval for the difference between two treatment means does not contain , then we can reject the null hypothesis that the two treatment means are equal.

Researchers from a national research organization investigated which platform (television, social media, newspaper, Internet, etc.) United States adults prefer to use to obtain their news. In 2016, of the 200 randomly selected United States adults that were surveyed, 114 selected television as their preferred platform. In 2018, of the 200 randomly selected United States adults that were surveyed, 98 selected television as their preferred platform. The conditions for inference are met. A 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in the population proportions of United States adults that use television as their preferred platform for obtaining news between 2016 and 2018 (2016 minus 2018) was found to be (-0.02, 0.18). Based on the interval, is it reasonable for the researchers to claim that there is convincing statistical evidence that the population proportion of United States adults that use television as their preferred method to obtain news differed between 2016 and 2018?

A veterinarian does research on the causes of enteroliths, stones that develop in the colon of horses. She suspects that feeding alfalfa might be a cause. To investigate that suspicion, she selects eight horses that are known to have enteroliths and compares the number of flakes of alfalfa they have eaten over a month with the number of flakes eaten by eight horses free of enteroliths. If she calculates a two-sample confidence interval by hand for the difference in the mean number of flakes fed to horses with and without enteroliths, the degrees of freedom she should use are: O b. B 0c7 O d. 16
Stanford University conducted a study of whether running is healthy for men and women over age 50. During the first eight years of the study, 1.5% of the 451 members of the 50-plus Fitness Association died. We are interested in the proportion of people over 5o who ran and died in the same eight-year period. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people over 50 who ran and died in the same eight-year period. Explain in a complete sentence what the confidence interval means
After surveying a random sample of 300 students in an online degree program, 86% believed that their classes were worth the cost they were paying. The results from a survey of 345 randomly selected students who were in a face-to-face degree program who had also taken some online courses, showed that 84% of them believed those online courses were worth the cost. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two groups of students.
