In a clinical trial, 22 out of 832 patients taking a prescription drug daily complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 2.2% of patients taking competing drugs complain of flulike symptoms.

Suppose an experiment finds that people taking a new herbal remedy get fewer colds than people taking a placebo. The results are statistically significant at the 0.01 level. Has the experiment proven that the herbal remedy works?
A large research project showed that in a sample of 750 adults, 60 of them experienced a midlife crisis . Use this data to test the claim that the percentage of adults who experienced midlife crisis is less than 10%. Use (alpha)= 0.05 .
In a clinical trial, 29 out of 853 patients taking a prescription drug daily complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 2.9% of patients taking competing drugs complain of flulike symptoms. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 2.9% of this drug's users experience flulike symptoms as a side effect at the α=0.1 What is the test statistic z0?
A 2019 study surveyed Norwegian parents about their children's eating habits and taste sensitivities. We are interested in seeing if there is a relationship between sensitivity to sweetness and emotional overeating. The study reports an F* = 2.34 with dfb 3 and dfw = 96. How many levels of 'sensitivity to sweetness' were used in the study? How many subjects participated in the entire study?
A researcher randomly selected a sample of n = 500 individuals from a population with µ = 120 and administered an experimental treatment to the sample. What the researcher should expect if the treatment has no significant effect?
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management reports that 51% of federal civilian employees have a bachelor's degree or higher (OPM.gov). A random sample of 95 employees in the private sector showed that 40 have a bachelor's degree or higher. Does this indicate that the percentage of employees holding bachelor's degrees or higher in the private sector is less than in the federal civilian sector?

a researcher claims that 85% of Americans think there are unlikely to contract the zika virus in a random sample of 250 Americans 225 think that they're unlikely to contract the Zika virus. At x=0.05 is there enough evidence to reject the researcher's claim?
To combat antibiotic resistance a throat swab is recommended to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Department of Health took a random sample of 60 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 18 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent?(a) state the null and alternative hypotheses.(b)Calculate the critical value
A researcher claims that 30% of individuals who take a particular type of drug will develop side effects. To test this claim, you form a random sample of 264 individuals who are taking this drug, of which 67 developed side effects. Test the researcher's claim at α=0.01.
14% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 391 people from the inner city surveyed, 59 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of αα = 0.05?
In 2000, 58% of females aged 15 and older lived alone, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample of 500 females aged 15 and older and finds that 285 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the α = 0.1 level of significance to conclude the proportion has changed since 2000?
A study published by Babcock and Marks (2010) showed that the average full-time U.S. college student studied for μ = 14 hours per week (SD = 4.8 hours per week) in 2005. We want to know if this average has changed in the past 15 years. In other words, we are going to do a study in which we try to determine whether there has been an impact of the passage of time on the amount of time college students spend studying. We selected a sample of n = 64 of today’s college students and find that they spent an average of M = 12.5 hours per week studying. Does this sample indicate a significant change in the number of hours spent studying? Use a two-tailed test (this means non-directional hypothesis) with α = .05.
