A recent study by Munro et al found that 15% of college freshman were not happy with their choice of major. A random sample of 100 college juniors found that 10% were not happy with their major. Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that the proportion of students not happy with their major is smaller among juniors than a freshman? Use alpha = .05. I.State the hypotheses. II.Calculate the test statistic. III.Find the p-value. IV.Make a statistical decision. V.State your conclusion in the context of the problem.
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. What is the critical value of z if we need to conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is less than 0.25.
Calculate the X² statistic then compare it with the critical value to determine if we will reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis that "There is no difference in the proportion of students that choose STEM, Social Sciences and Liberal Arts"
Average IQ scores for young school children are known to be 100 (SD = 15). However, the literature indicates that children’s intelligence may be decreased if their mothers have German measles during pregnancy. Using hospital records, a researcher obtained a sample of n = 25 school children whose mothers all had German measles during their pregnancies. Do the data indicate that children born to mothers who had German measles during the pregnancy have significantly lower IQ scores than typical young school children? child IQ scr 1 91 2 111 3 97 4 95 5 96 6 95 7 95 8 96 9 94 10 93 11 95 12 92 13 96 14 91 15 97 16 93 17 92 18 99 19 93 20 97 21 85 22 94 23 96 24 95 25 96 a.

A study reported the results of a randomized trial of whole-body hypothermia (cooling) for neonatal hypoxicischemic encephalopathy (brain problems in babies due to lack of oxygen). Twenty-nine of the 99 infants randomly assigned to hypothermia died and 44 of the 97 infants in the control group died. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. 1. Find the test statistic for this test. z = ___ (Round to two decimal places as needed.) 2. Find the p-value for this test. p-value = ___ (Round to three decimal places as needed.) 3. What is the conclusion for this test? Use a significance level of 0.10.
Natalie conducted a study on the effects of triclosan on three algae populations. She collected an algae sample from three different ponds, counted the number of algae cells present in the sample, and then exposed them to a 5 ppm aqueous solution of triclosan and re-counted the number of algae cells in each sample. Using a paired t-test, she obtained a p-value of 0.083 when comparing the original algae population sizes to the population sizes after exposure to triclosan. Natalie concluded that triclosan is toxic to algae because her data for the three samples showed a trend toward a reduction in population size. What could Natalie do to show a statistically significant effect of triclosan on algae population size? Justify your response.
