- What is an experiment?arrow_forward2. A drug company designed a new drug to cure different skin allergies. The company states that the drugs they made is about 95% effective. To test this claim, the company selects a sample of 300 respondents and revealed that 20 respondents caught to have an allergy. Use 0.01 level of significance to test that the claim is true. Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses: Ho: H₁: Step 2: State the appropriate test statistic to be used. Test Statistic: Step 3: Establish the rejection region, label the critical value(s) of rejection region and level of significance. Step 4: Compute the value of test statistic. Compute first the p. Step 5: State the statistical decision. Step 6: State the conclusion.arrow_forwardYou 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?arrow_forward
- Suppose you have a friend that thinks at least a quarter (25% or 0.25) of all US adults believe in ghosts. Thus, the null hypothesis would be, HO: p = 0.25 Suppose a telephone survey of 1000 randomly selected US adults found that 0.31 or 31% of them say they believe in ghosts. If the null hypothesis is true, the uncertainty or Standard Error in this sample proportion = 0.014 Based on this information, what is the value for the Z-statistic in this hypothesis test? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Answer: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
- 3. A company is trying to find out if it should continue to manufacture a shoe model that was previously very popular. In a random sample of 180 women, 55 stated that they would buy the shoes in question. Consider the null hypothesis that the proportion of all women who would buy the shoes is at most 0.25 (i.e., one-fourth). When testing this hypothesis we find that the p-value was 0.0426. According to this value, what decision would you make regarding whether or not to reject the null hypothesis. Write clearly the hypotheses of this problem.arrow_forwardA 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_forwardA hypothesis test produces t = 2.062 for a sample of n = 25 scores. For a two-tailed test with a = .05, the correct decision is to reject the null hypothesis. O True Falsearrow_forward
- In 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. Because npo (1- Po) "O 10, the sample size is 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements for testing the hypothesis…arrow_forward32. 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_forwardThe Subject is Engineering Data Analysisarrow_forward
