Textbook Question
Chapter 9.1, Problem 12E
Does It Make Sense? For Exercises 5–12, determine whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly. Not all of these statements have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
- 12. Interpreting a P-Value. When interpreting a P-value of 0.009, a researcher states that the results are statistically significant because the P-value is very small, indicating that the results are not likely to occur by chance.

- The first test a doctor would order to determine whether a person is infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) is the ELISA test. It detects antibodies and antigens for HIV. A study in Statistical Science by J. Gastwirth estimated that, if the person is actually infected with HIV, this test produces a positive result 97.7% of the time. If a person is not infected with HIV, the test result is negative 92.6% of the time. According the the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an estimated 1.1 million Americans out of a population of 321 million were infected with HIV in 2015. Using the information above, determine the probability that a randomly selected person whose ELISA test is positive actually is infected with HIV? a.

The data shown below are the initial weights and gains in weight (in grams) of female rats on a high protein diet from 24 to 84 days of age. The point of interest in these data is whether the gain in weight is related to (dependent on) the initial weight. If so, then feeding experiments on female rats can be made more precise by adjusting for differences in initial weights of the rats. Statistically test this with a regression analysis.

- n a study assessing helping behavior among college students on their way to class, you recruit 10 students. You tell some participants that they are late for class and need to rush. You tell others they are right on time. Finally, you tell others they have lots of time before class. As they walk across campus, they come across a man (actually a confederate) who appears to need help. You measure the extent to which the participant noticed that the confederate needed help (1 = did not notice to 9 = really noticed).
