Textbook Question

Chapter 8, Problem 23CQ

For the following exercises where applicable:

a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.

b. Find the critical value(s).

c. Compute the test value.

d. Make the decision.

e. Summarize the results.

Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified. Assume all variables are normally distributed.

23. Survey on Vitamin Usage A survey in Men’s Health magazine reported that 39% of cardiologists said that they took vitamin E supplements. To see if this is still true, a researcher randomly selected 100 cardiologists and found that 36 said that they took vitamin E supplements. At α = 0.05, test the claim that 39% of the cardiologists took vitamin E supplements.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
