- Consider a drug testing company that provides a test for marijuana usage. Among 316 tested subjects, results from 29 subjects were wrong (either a false positive or a false negative).

A total of 365 teenage girls and 378 teenage boys were surveyed. Of the teenage girls surveyed, 171 reported feeling too attached to their phone. Of the teenage boys surveyed, 132 reported feeling too attached to their phone. Is there convincing statistical evidence of a difference between the two population proportions at the significance level of 0.01? (A) Yes, because the sample proportions are different. (B) Yes, because the p-value is less than 0.01. (C) Yes, because the p-value is greater than 0.01. (D) No, because the p-value is less than 0.01. (E) No, because the p-value is greater than 0.01.arrow_forward• Facilitators of career guidance claim that 60% of the participants prefer to take Psychology in college. In a career guidance seminar, 30 participants were asked what they intend to take in college and it was found out that only 16 of them would like to enrol Psychology in college. Is the data an evidence to support the facilitators' claim at 10% level of significance? The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about ten. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey eight employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 7; 4; 15; 3; 11; 12; 6; 8. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is ten at a = 0.05? (Use p-value to to discuss the results)arrow_forward
