A researcher is wondering whether the drinking habits of adults in a certain region of a country are different than those in the general adult population. Suppose a recent study states that the proportion of
adults in the general population who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month is 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is p+ 0.26. The researcher
collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. Are the conditions for proceeding with a one-proportion z-test satisfied? If not, which condition is not satisfied?
O a. Conditions are not satisfied; the researcher did not collect a random sample.
O b. Conditions are not satisfied; the population of interest is not large enough to assume independence.
Oc. Conditions are not satisfied; the sample size is not large enough.
O d. All conditions are satisfied.
6. Decide whether you would reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis in the following situations:
You want to test the following hypotheses. There are three categories: x, y and z.
H0: px = .20, py = .40, and pz = .40
HA: The population proportions are not px = .20, py = .40, and pz = .40
A sample size of 200 resulted in 20 observations in category x, 120 in category y and 60 in category z. Use α = .01 and test to see whether the proportions are as stated in H0. Use the p-value approach.
How many degrees of freedom are there?

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardA company has just developed a new antibiotic. 2 percent of children taking competing antibiotics experience a headache as a side effect. A researcher believes that the proportion of children taking the new antibiotic who experience a headache as a side effect is more than 0.02. We know that the null hypothesis is H0 : p = 0.02 and the alternative hypothesis is H1 : p > 0.02. Suppose that the sample evidence indicates thata. the null hypothesis is rejected. State the conclusion.b. the null hypothesis is not rejected. State the conclusion.arrow_forwardWe are comparing two samples during a hypothesis test. Sample A has a z-test statistic of 1.58 and sample B has a z-test statistic of -0.34. We can say then that… Group of answer choices We reject the null hypothesis. If H-naught is true, then Sample B has a higher probability of occurring while Sample A has a lower probability of occurring. If H-naught is true, then Sample A has a higher probability of occurring while Sample B has a lower probability of occurring. If H-naught is rejected, then Sample A has a higher probability of occurring while Sample B has a lower probability of occurring.arrow_forward
- A sample of n = 40 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 30, and a treatment is administered to the sample. What is expected if the treatment has an effect? a. The sample mean should be very different from 30 and should lead you to reject the null hypothesis. b. The sample mean should be very different from 30 and should lead you to fail to reject the null hypothesis. c. The sample mean should be close to 30 and should lead you to reject the null hypothesis. d. The sample mean should be close 30 and should lead you to fail to reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardIn a previous year, 61% of females aged 15 and older lived alone. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample of 700 females aged 15 and older and finds that 417 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the a= 0.01 level of significance to conclude the proportion has changed? Because npo (1- Po) =D 10, the sample size is 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements for testing the hypothesis satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) In a survey, 32% of the respondents stated that they talk to their pets on the telephone. A veterinarian believed this result to be too high, so he randomly selected 220 pet owners and discovered that 64 of them spoke to their pet on the telephone. Does the veterinarian have a right to be skeptical? Use the a = 0.05 level of significance.

According to the Pew Research Center, 19% of U.S.adults living in Rural areas of the country do not use the internet. An SRS of 400 adults from Rural areas in Oregon had 65 indicate they do not use the internet. Given alpha = 0.05 is there evidence to support that 19% of adults living in Rural Oregon do not use the internet? True or False: Since the p- value is greater than alpha we fail to reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forward
- A random sample of 100 students at a high school was asked whether they would ask their father or mother for help with a financial problem. A second sample of 100 different students was asked the same question. If 43 students in the first sample and 47 students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help, test the hypothesis of no difference in the proportions. Use α = 0.02.

The lecturer wants to usethis result to conduct the hypothesis testing that more than 50% of the students from Statistics Iclasses at Foundation Course answered “Agree”.Case I: The lecturer can test the hypothesis since the data is collected from the FoundationCourse implying that Cohort 7(A&B) is the sample and Foundation Course is the population.Case II: The lecturer is wrong and the hypothesis testing result would not be reliable since therandom sampling is not used in the data collection process.Choose the correct answer.A.
