A 2012 article in the New England Journal reports the results of a randomized trial to assess the association between regular usage of asthma medication prior to turning 18 years old, and height at age 18 years. As per the authors, "From December 1993 through September 1995, we randomly assigned 1041 children between the ages of 5 and 13 years with mild-to-moderate asthma to one of three study groups in the double-blind, placebo-controlled CAMP trial." (reference: Kelly H, et al. Effect of Inhaled Glucocorticoids in Childhood on Adult Height. New England of Medicine (2012). 367 (10)) The random assignment groups were Budesonide, Nedocromil and placebo. The following graphic shows the distribution of female and male participant heights at different times in the study follow-up, presented for the Budesonide and placebo samples.

The cost of a university education has increased at a much faster rate than costs in general over the past twenty years. In order to compensate for this, many students work part- or full-time in addition to attending classes. At one university, it is believed that the average number of hours students work per week exceeds 20. A random sample of 20 students was selected and the following values were observed: 26 15 10 40 10 20 30 36 40 0 5 10 20 32 16 12 40 36 10 0 The correct null and alternative hypotheses are H0 : µ = 20 and HA : µ > 20. H0 : µ = 20 and HA : µ ≠ 20. H0 : µ = 20 and HA : µ < 20. H0 : µ > 20 and HA : µ = 20.
60% of U.S. households have a personal computer. In a random sample of 200 households, what is the probability that at least 115 have a PC? ( hint: use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution)
A travel company is investigating whether the average cost of a hotel stay in a certain city has increased over the past year. The company recorded the cost of a one-night stay for a Friday night in January of the current year and in the previous year for 31 hotels selected at random. The difference in cost (current year minus previous year) was calculated for each hotel. Which of the following is the appropriate test for the company’s investigation? A one-sample zz-test for a population mean A A one-sample tt-test for a sample mean B A one-sample zz-test for a population proportion C A matched-pairs tt-test for a mean difference D A two-sample tt-test for a difference between means E
In a previous poll, 38% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 1186 adults with children under the age of 18 were selected at random, and 428 of those 1186 adults reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the α = 0.01 significance level. Because npo (1-Po) = 279.4 > 10 and the sample size is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? но: р = 0.38 versus H₁: p (Type integers or decimals.

According to the Current Population Survey (Internet Release date: September 2004), 42% of females between the ages of 18 and 24 years lived at home in 2003. (Unmarried college students living in a dorm are counted as living at home). Suppose a survey is administered today to 425 randomly selected females between the age of 18 and 24 years and 204 respond that they live at home. 1. Does this define a binomial distribution? Justify your answer 2. If so, can you use the normal approximation to binomial distribution? Justify your answer and state what the mean and standard deviation of the normal approximation are. 3. Using the binomial probability distribution, what is the probability that at least 204 of the respondents living at home under the assumption that the true percentage is 42%? 4. Using the normal approximation to binomial, what is the probability that at least 204 of the respondents living at home under the assumption that the true percentage is 42%?

Childhood participation in sports, cultural groups, and youth groups appears to be related to improved self-esteem for adolescents (McGee, Williams, Howden-Chapman, Martin, & Kawachi, 2006). In a representative study, a sample of n = 100 adolescents with a history of group participation is given a stan- dardized self-esteem questionnaire. For the general population of adolescents, scores on this questionnaire form a normal distribution with a mean of p %3D 50 and %3D 15. The sample of group- a standard deviation of o %3D participation adolescents had an average of M = 53.8.
About 50% of all federal inmates are serving time for drug dealing. A random sample of 15federal inmates is selected.a.

A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who believed that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 70%. A researcher decides to test whether or not that percentage still stands. He finds that, among the 205 high school seniors in his random sample, 125 believe that "getting rich" is an important goal. Can he conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the proportion has indeed changed? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis . (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (d) Find the p-value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (e) Can we conclude that the proportion of high school seniors…

6) Any basketball fan knows that Shaquille O’Neal, one of the NBA’s most dominant centers of the last twenty years, always had difficulty shooting free throws. Over the course of his career, his overall made free-throw percentage was 53.3%. During one off-season, Shaq had been working with an assistant coach on his free-throw technique. During the next season, a simple random sample showed that Shaq made 26 of 39 free-throw attempts. Test the claim that Shaq has significantly improved his free-throw shooting using a 0.05 significance level. Check the conditions of the Central Limit Theorem for this scenario. Calculate the number of failures.
