Chapter 4, Problem 4.40E
Researchers studied a random sample of North Carolina high school students who participated in interscholastic athletics to learn about the risk of lower-extremity injuries (anywhere between hip and toe) for interscholastic athletes (Yang et at., 2005). Of 999 participants in girls’ soccer, 74 experienced lower-extremity injuries. Of 1667 participants in boys’ soccer, 153 experienced lower-extremity injuries.
a. Write null and alternative hypotheses about sex and the risk of a lower-extremity injury while playing interscholastic soccer.
b. For these data, the value of the chi-square statistic is 2.51, and the p-value for the chi-square test is .113. Based on these results, state a conclusion about the two variables in this situation and explain how you came to this conclusion.
c. For each sex separately, calculate the percent of participants who had a lower-extremity injury. Explain how the difference between these percentages is consistent with the conclusion you stated in part (b).

A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling
legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion.
(a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed.
(b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support
labeling legislation for GMOs.
(c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).
...
(a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available?
n =
(Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Let Hss, HMS, HLS, Hsuv and Hмy represent the mean costs per mile for small sedans, medium sedans, large sedans, SUV 4WDs, and minivans
respectively. What are the hypotheses for this test?
OA. Ho: Not all the means are equal.

Question: A company launches two different marketing campaigns to promote the same product in two different regions. After one month, the company collects the sales data (in units sold) from both regions to compare the effectiveness of the campaigns.
The company wants to determine whether there is a significant difference in the mean sales between the two regions. Perform a two sample T-test
You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include:
Null hypothesis,
Alternative hypothesis,
Show answer (output table/summary table), and
Conclusion based on the P value.
