### Problem 3You are a human factors engineer studying the impact that helmets worn by operators on a factory floor might receive during a particular repair operation. A random sample of 50 helmets worn during the operation shows that 18 have received damage of some sort.**a.** Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of helmets that receive damage during the repair operation. Note that this could serve as a proxy for describing how dangerous the current repair operation is.**b.** Using the point estimate obtained by the preliminary sample of 50, how many helmets should be tested to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true proportion is less than 0.02?**c.** Repeat the approach in part b but without the preliminary point estimate to provide a more conservative sample size. Think about what value of \( \hat{p} \) would do that.

Given : Sample size n= 50Favorable case X= 18 Hence, Sample proportion…

A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
During the 1990s, the fatality rate for lung cancer was 80 per 100,000 people. After the turn of the century and the establishment of newer treatments and adjustment in public health advertising, a random sample of 10,000 people exhibits only six deaths due to lung cancer. Test at the 0.05 significance level whether that data are proof of a reduced fatality rate for lung cancer. b. Make the decision rule. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Evaluate the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
The accompanying data set lists performance IQ scores for random samples of subjects with blood lead levels categorized as low (1), medium (2), and high (3). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that subjects in those categories have the same median performance IQ score (IQP). Does lead exposure appear to have an adverse effect? Click the icon to view the data for IQ and Lead Exposure First determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: The samples come from populations with medians that are not all equal. H₁: The samples come from populations with equal medians. O B. Ho: The samples come from populations with equal medians. H₁: The samples come from populations with medians that are not all equal. OC. Ho: The samples come from populations with equal means. H₁: The samples come from populations with means that are not all equal. O D. Ho: The samples come from populations with means that are not all equal. H₁: The samples come from…
In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.05 margin of error and use a confidence level of 99%. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
A chemist measures the haptoglobin concentrations (in grams per liter) in the blood of eight healthy adults. Following are the values: 1.82 3.32 1.07 1.27 0.49 3.79 0.15 1.98 At the 2% significance level, test the claim that the mean haptoglobin concentration in adults is less than two grams per liter. What type of error could you have made in your decision?
According to recent data by the American Marketing Association, 76.5%of people in the 18-24 age group used social media in 2017. You want to find out what the social media proportion is among your classmates who are all between 18 and 24 years old. Suppose you obtain a random sample of 229 students and find that 202 students in this sample are active social media users. Complete parts a through c below. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the actual proportion of social media users. A 99% confidence interval to estimate the actual proportion has a lower limit of------ and an upper limit of------- (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. What is the margin of error for this sample? c. Is there evidence that this proportion matches that of the overall population based on the sample?
You claim that the proportion of students who favored ONLINE ASSESSMENT over FACE-TO-FACE ASSESSMENT is 65% at a 5% significance level. From the analysis, the Z-test is 1.16. The correct conclusion is we have a. sufficient evidence to reject the claim. O b. insufficient evidence to reject the claim. O c. insufficient evidence to support the claim. O sufficient evidence to support the claim.
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
15. Pain after surgery: In a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 15 required medication for postoperative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures. b. A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim? 16
A professor wanted to determine if the GPAS of students at Saddleback College are less consistent than the GPAS of students at Irvine Valley College. To test this, he obtains random samples of students from both colleges and records their GPAS, which are given below. Test the professor's claim at the a=0.05 level of significance. Saddleback College Irvine Valley College 3.7 3.2 3.0 2.5 2.7 3.6 4.0 3.4 3.8 3.2 3.0 2.5 3.6 2.8 2.6 2.5 2.1 2.7 3.9 3.4 2.0 2.2 2.7 3.1 2.0 2.0 2.1 3.8 3.1 2.9 3.2 2.8 Calculator Function [ Select] [ Select] 2-PropZTest ANOVA X^2-Test T-Test 2-SampTTest 2-SampFTest [ Select] v sufficient evidence that the standard deviation of grades for Saddleback College students is [ Select] than the standard deviation for Irvine Valley College students.
