Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7–22, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
19. Headache Treatment In a study of treatments for very painful “cluster” headaches, 150 patients were treated with oxygen and 148 other patients were given a placebo consisting of ordinary air. Among the 150 patients in the oxygen treatment group, 116 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Among the 148 patients given the placebo, 29 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment (based on data from “High-Flow Oxygen for Treatment of Cluster Headache” by Cohen, Bums, and Goadsby, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 302, No. 22). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective.
a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.
b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.
c. Based on the results, is the oxygen treatment effective?

- MORE BENEFITS OF EATING ORGANIC Using specific data, we find a significant difference in the proportion of fruit flies surviving after 13 days between those eating organic potatoes and those eating conventional (not organic) potatoes. This exercise asks you to conduct a hypothesis test using additional data. In this case, we are testing where p, and p, represent the proportion of fruit flies alive at the end of the given time frame of those eating organic food and those eating conventional food, respectively. Use a 5 % significance level. Effect of Organic Soybeans After 5 Days After 5 days, the proportion of fruit flies eating organic soybeans still alive is 0.9, while the proportion still alive eating conventional soybeans is 0.83. The standard error for the difference in proportions is 0.023. What is the value of the test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places. What is the p-value? Round your answer to three decimal places. p-value= i ! What is the conclusion?

Toxic Mushrooms? Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to ani-mals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cad-mium at high concentrations. The Czech and Slovak governments have set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 part per million (ppm). M. Melgar et al. measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of the edible mushroom Boletus pinicola and pub-lished the results in the paper “Influence of Some Factors in Toxi-city and Accumulation of Cd from Edible Wild Macrofungi in NW Spain” (Journal ofEnvironmental Science and Health, Vol. B33(4), pp. 439–455). A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether the mean cadmium level in Boletus pinicola mushrooms is greater than the government’s recommended limitarrow_forward
- PC Gaming: A computer magazine editor claims that the mean cost of a gaming computer is $1250. A test is made of =:H0μ1250 versus ≠:H1μ1250. The null hypothesis is not rejected. State an appropriate conclusion.arrow_forwardA drug company claims that an allergy medication causes headaches in 5% of those who take it. A medical researcher believes that more than 5% of those who take the drug actually get headaches. Identify the population(s). What is the variable being examined for individuals in the population(s)? Is it categorical or quantitative? Identify the parameter(s). What is the claim? Which hypotheses do we want to test?arrow_forwardWe study endurance in marathon runners and sprinters. We calculate a z-score for the difference between two means and conclude that there is no significant difference between the two athlete groups on our measure of endurance. However, in reality, there is a difference. We have made a error. O Typel O Type IIarrow_forward

Recall that they defined their parameters as follows: p1 = the proportion of ALL individuals who would develop cancer, if all of them were to take aspirin like the subjects in the Aspirin group did. p2 = the proportion of ALL individuals who would develop cancer, if all of them were to take a placebo, like the subjects in the placebo group did. They ran the code for a two-sided significance test and got the following results: ## ## ## Inferential Procedures for the Difference of Two Proportions p1-p2:## cancer grouped by treatment ## ## ## Descriptive Results:## ## yes n estimated.prop## Aspirin 1438 19934 0.07214## Placebo 1427 19942 0.07156## ## ## Inferential Results:## ## Estimate of p1-p2: 0.0005805 ## SE(p1.hat - p2.hat): 0.002586 ## ##…arrow_forwardIdentify the type I error and the type II error that correspond to the given hypothesis.
