Textbook Question
Chapter 9.4, Problem 51PB
Detecting prostate cancer Refer to the previous exercise about medical diagnoses. A New York Times article (February 17, 1999) about the PSA blood test for detecting prostate cancer stated: “The test fails to detect prostate cancer in 1 in 4 men who have the disease.”
- a. For the PSA test, explain what a Type I error is and explain the consequence to a man of this type of error.
- b. For the PSA test, what is a Type II error? What is the consequence to a man of this type of error?
- c. To which type of error does the
probability of 1 in 4 refer? - d. The article also stated that if you receive a positive result, the probability that you do not actually have prostate cancer is 2/3. Explain the difference between this and the conditional probability of a Type I error, given that you do not actually have prostate cancer.

Researchers studying osteoporosis (bone loss) suspected that women over the age of 50 in the United
States are diagnosed with the disease more often than women over 50 in Mexico. They took a random
sample of 200 women over the age of 50 from each country. Here are the results:
Diagnosed with osteoporosis?
US Mexico

The researchers want to use these results to test Ho: pus – PM = 0 versus H,: Pus – PM > 0.
Assume that all conditions have been met.
What is the P-value associated with these sample results?
P-value is greater than or equal to
0.20
0.05 is less than or equal to the P-
value < 0.10
0.10 is less than or equal to the P-
value < 0.20
P-value < 0.01
0.01 is less than or equal to the P-
value < 0.05
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) during the 2018-2019 season the percent of Americans 18 and older who had a flu shot was 45.3%. We did a random sample of 500 Americans and found that 200 out of the 500 had a flu shot. Is there enough evidence at the 5% level that 45.3% or less of Americans 18 or older had a flu shot?
What is given and which test will your perform?:
a) u = 0.453, x-bar = 200/500 = 0.40, n = 500, T test with less than
b) p = 200/500 = 0.40, p-hat = 0.453, n = 500, 1 prop z test with less than
c) p = 0.453, p-hat = 200/500 = 0.40, n = 500, 1 prop z test with less than
d) p = 0.453, p-hat = 200/500 = 0.40, n = 500, 2 prop z test with less than

two-week after-school program. Thirty students were selected to participate in the after-school program. Prior to

program, students completed another measure of school belongingness. Students' scores before and after the
program were then compared. What is the DV?

- In 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). What is the acceptable level of risk?

The researchers make the claim that “blue enhances performance on a creative task.” a. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that blue enhances performance on a creative task. b.

A hypothesis test of Ho: P = 0.60 Ha:p # 0.60 where p = the true proportion of teens who pass their driving test on the first attempt using a = 0.05 gives a P-value of 0.0444.
