In Exercises 5–20, conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the P-value and for critical value, and state the conclusion.
8. Bias in Clinical Trials? Researchers investigated the issue of race and equality of access to clinical trials. The following table shows the population distribution and the numbers of participants in clinical trials involving lung cancer (based on data from “Participation in Cancer Clinical Trials,” by Murthy, Krumholz, and Gross, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 22). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the distribution of clinical trial participants fits well with the population distribution. Is there a race/ethnic group that appears to be very underrepresented?

- 2. Is there a difference in the proportion of individuals with food allergiesbetween young children and adults? A survey finds that 62 among a simplerandom sample of 350 young children have some food allergy, comparedwith 26 out of 250 adults. e. Based on a 5% significance level, what conclusion should be made?arrow_forwardA researcher groups college student in a study based on their year in college (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) and the type of college they attend (junior, technical, university). He concludes that perceptions of academic cheating are more positive among freshman attending junior college. To reach this conclusion, which statistical test would need to be computed?arrow_forwardI will give upvotearrow_forward
- The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test designed to measure various academic behaviors (motivation, study habits, attitudes, etc…) of college students. Scores on the SSHA range from 0 to 200. The data for random samples 18 women (*the outlier from the original data set was removed) and 27 men yielded the following summary statistics.Is there a difference in SSHA performance based upon gender? Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test in including stating the relevant hypothesis, test statistic, p-value, and conclusion. Then, construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean differencearrow_forwardDiscuss the basic strategy for performing a hypothesis test to compare the means of two populations, based on independent samples.arrow_forward6) A researcher is interested in whether women like Justin Bieber's music more than men. The extent to which people liked Bieber's music was measured on a 10 point scale ranging from 1 = do not like at all, to 10 like Justin Bieber's music more than men (alpha = .05). very much like.
