Victims of Violence A random survey of 86 women who were victims of violence found that 20 were attacked by relatives. A random survey of 54 men found that 6 were attacked by relatives. At a=0.10, can it be shown that the percentage of women who were attacked by relatives is different the percentage of men who were attacked by relatives? Use p₁ for the proportion of women who were attacked by relatives. Use the critical value method with tables and round all intermediate calculations to at least three decimal places.

The P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject Ho when the level of significance is (a) a = 0.01, (b) a= 0.05, and (c) a=0.10. P = 0.0762 (a) Do you reject or fail to reject Ho at the 0.01 level of significance? O A. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.0762, is less than a=0.01. O B. Reject Ho because the P-value, 0.0762, is greater than a = 0.01. OC. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.0762, is greater than a = 0.01. O D. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.0762, is less than a = 0.01. (b) Do you reject or fail to reject Ho at the 0.05 level of significance? O A. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.0762, is less than a = 0.05. O B. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.0762, is less than a = 0.05. O C. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.0762, is greater than a = 0.05. O D. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.0762, is greater than a = 0.05.
A sociologist wants to study what proportion of people have significant relationship problems due to financial stress. A previous study she is aware of estimated it to be 32% but she believes this has increased in modern times. She collects a random sample of 150 people and 63 of them report relationship problems due to financial stress. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test in questions #22-#25. Compute the Z-score for this hypothesis test and round to two decimal places. z = 1.58 z = 2.06 z = 2.63 z = 0.84
Molly works for a meat producer, and she needs to determine whether containers of ground beef have the correct fat content. She obtains a random sample of 120 containers of ground beef and finds that 84 percent have the correct fat content. Molly then conducts a hypothesis test of H0:p=0.80H0:p=0.80 versus Ha:p≠0.80Ha:p≠0.80 and calculates a test statistic of 1.10 with a pp-value of 0.273. Which of the following best represents the meaning of the pp-value? If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of 0.80 is 0.273. A If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of at least 0.04 less than 0.84 is 0.273. B If the population proportion is 0.80, the probability of observing a sample proportion within 0.04 of 0.80 is 0.273. C If the population proportion is 0.80, the probability of observing a sample proportion at least 0.04 greater than 0.80 is 0.273. D If the…
Life on Other Planets Forty-three percent of people believe that there is life on other planets in the universe. A scientist does not agree with this finding. He surveyed 120 randomly selected individuals and found 69 believed that there is life on other planets. At α=0.01, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage differs from 43% ?

For the situation described below, state the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H, to be tested. (Enter != for # as needed.) A statistical test is designed to show that the proportionp of defectives has decreased below 0.6%. Ho: 0.6 H: 0.6
The P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject Ho when the level of significance is (a) a = 0.01, (b) a =0.05, and (c) a= 0.10. P= 0.1089 (a) Do you reject or fail to reject Ho at the 0.01 level of significance? O A. Reject Ho because the P-value, 0.1089, is greater than a= 0.01. O B. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.1089, is less than a= 0.01. O C. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.1089, is less than a = 0.01. D. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.1089, is greater than a = 0.01. (b) Do you reject or fail to reject Ho at the 0.05 level of significance? O A. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.1089, is greater than a = 0.05. 0.05. O B. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.1089, is greater than O C. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.1089, is less than a = 0.05. O D. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.1089, is less than a = 0.05.
Test the hypothesis using the P-value approach. Be sure to verify the requirements of the test. H0: p=0.77 versus H1: p≠0.77 n=500, x=380, a=0.1
Suzette does an experiment where she collects date from 5 women snd obtains the scores: 4, 4, 5, 2, 5. She hypothesizes that the population mean for the population from which these scores are drawn is 3. She wants to test whether this hypothesis is true. What is the alternative hypothesis she is testing?
(i) Determine whether the hypothesis test is one tailed or two tailed. (ii) Find the P-value. Round the answer to four decimal places. (iii) Make the decision and summarize the results.
The Census Bureau's American Housing Survey has reported that 76 percent of families choose their house location based on the school district. You want to conduct a test of whether the population proportion really equals 0.76. Use a 0.10 level of significance and a sample of 440. The proportion of families in your sample that choose their home based on the school district was 0.78. a. State in statistical terms the null and alternative hypotheses. (2 points) b. Determine the appropriate test statistic. (z or t) (2 points) c. Determine the critical values. (2 points) d. Compute the test statistic. (2 points) e. Make a decision on the hypotheses. (which hypothesis is correct?) (2 points)
You are testing the difference between high school freshmen and seniors on SAT performance. The null hypothesis is that the population mean SAT score of the seniors is equal to the population mean SAT score of the freshmen. You randomly sample 20 students in each grade and have them take the SAT. You find that the sample mean of the seniors is significantly higher than the sample mean of the freshmen. Which alternative hypothesis is accepted? The population mean SAT score of the seniors is less than the population mean SAT score of the freshmen. The population mean SAT score of the seniors is greater than the population mean SAT score of the freshmen. You cannot be sure which alternative hypothesis to accept. You just know that the null hypothesis was rejected
Stocks and Mutual Fund Ownership It has been found that 50.6% of U.S. households own stocks and mutual funds. A random sample of 300 heads of households indicated that 175 owned some type of stock. At what level of significance would you conclude that this was a significant difference? Use the P-value method. (a) State the hypotheses and identify the claim, one-tail or two-tail. (b) Compute the test value. (c) Find the P-value. (d) Make the decision. (e) Summarize the results.
