In Exercises 1–5, use the following survey results: Randomly selected subjects were asked if they were aware that the Earth has lost half of its wildlife population during the past 50years. Among 1121 women, 23% said that they were aware. Among 1084 men, 26% said that they were aware (based on data from a Harris poll).
1. Biodiversity Identify the null and alternative hypotheses resulting from the claim that for the people who were aware of the statement, the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of men.
To identify: The null and alternative hypotheses.
Answer to Problem 1CQQ
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The claim for the hypothesis test is that the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of mean.
Justification:
Let population 1 denotes the women and population 2 denote the men.
Let
Here, the given claim is the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of men. This indicates that
Null hypothesis:
That is, the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of men.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the proportion of women differs from the proportion of men

- 1. Scientists want to know whether people who exercise with music have a greater increase, on average, in exercise intensity than those who don’t listen to music. Two methods of collecting data are proposed: Method I: Recruit volunteers who are willing to participate. Randomly assign each participant to exercise with music or to exercise without music. Method II: Select a random sample from all people who exercise at the local YMCA. Ask each person if they listen to music or not and use the responses to create two groups. For each method, the researchers will record the change in targeted exercise for each person. They will compare the mean change of intensity between those who listen to music and those who don’t. i) Suppose the investigation produces a result that is statistically significant using both methods. What conclusion to which population can be made for each method? Justify your answer. ii) In Method I, suppose there are 50 volunteers.

One researcher specifically believes that the more education a person has, the higher, on average, will be his or her IQ. The researcher sets out to investigatethis belief by obtaining eight pairs of identical twins reared apart. He identifies the better-educated twin as Twin A and the other twin as Twin B for each pair. The data for the study are given in the table below. Does the data give good statistical evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the twin with more education is likely to have the higher IQ? Use the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Non-Parametric test and a separateParametric test to provide good statistical evidence to support your answer.
