Two surgical procedures are widely used to treat a certain type of cancer. To compare the success rates of the two procedures, random samples of the two types of surgical patients were obtained and the numbers of patients who showed no recurrence of the disease after a 1-year period were recorded. The data are shown in the table. How large a sample would be necessary in order to estimate the difference in the true success rates to within 0.10 with 95% confidence interval for population proportion? number of successes Procedure A |100 95 Procedure B 100 97 n1=n2=21 n1=n2=192 n1=n2=29 n1=n2=30

We have presented a confidence interval (CI) for the difference, μ1 − μ2, between two population means. Interpret each confidence interval. 95% CI is from 15 to 20.
if n=20, x=43, and s=9, construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level, the data came from a normally distributed population.
suppose that you take 1000 simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a 95% confidence interval for an unknown parameter. Approximately how many of those confidence intervals will continue the value of the unknown parameter?
Approximately 58% of all people are able to wink with both eyes. Is this percent different for people who wear glasses? A researcher tests 319 people who wear glasses and found that 204 could wink with both eyes. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for the difference between two population proportions t-test for a population mean z-test for a population proportion t-test for the difference between two dependent population means t-test for the difference between two independent population means The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: Select an answer μd p1 p μ1 μ Select an answer ≥ = ≠ ≤ H1:H1: Select an answer μ μ1 p p1 μd Select an answer < ≠ > = The test statistic ? z t = (round to 3 decimal places) The p-value = (round to 4 decimal places) The p-value is ? > ≤ αα. Based on this, we should Select an answer accept reject fail to reject the null hypothesis. Explain…
A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.

Does buttered toast fall face down? Data was collected to test this. 40 slices of toast (each with butter on one side) were dropped (from the same height). 24 slices (60%) landed buttered side down. We would like to use the results of this study to determine if there is statistical evidence that toast tends to land buttered side down more than 50% of the time.
Question 2 There is a claim that drink driving has been very common in high ways. The Highway Police randomly caught 300 drivers for breath alcohol test and found that 14% of drivers have breath alcohol over the legal limit. At 4% level of significance, use the p-value approach to test the hypothesis that the percentage of drivers who are drink driving is more than 10%.
