6.11 Part I of the National Health Plan According to a poll conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation in 2019, 79 percent of Democrats, 55 percent of Independents, and 24 percent of Republicans support a generic "National Health Plan." 347 Democrats, 298 Republicans, and 617 Independents were polled. (a) A political pundit on TV claims that a majority of Independents support a National Health Plan. Do these data provide strong evidence to support this type of statement? (b) Would you expect a confidence interval for the proportion of Independents who oppose the public option plan to include 0.5? Explain

In 2010, Seery, Holman, & Silver found that individuals with some history of adversity report better mental health and well-being compared to people with little to no history of adversity. In an attempt to examine this phenomenon, a researcher surveys a group of college students to determine the negative life events they experienced in the last 5 years and their current feeling of well-being. Participants: With 5-10 negative experiences With 2 or fewer negative experiences n=7 n=7 Well-being score of M=48 Well-being score of M=41 SS=325 SS=347 1. State the hypotheses both experimental and statistical 2. Do the results indicate significantly different reports of Well-being? Use a two-tailed test with a=.05. Please show work and state your decision regarding the H0. 3. Compute the estimated Cohen's d to measure the size of the effect. State…
A sample of men and women who had passed their driver's test either the first time or the second time were surveyed, with the following results: Results of the driving testGender First time Second timeMen 126 211Women 135 178a) Do these data suggest that there is a relationship between gender and the passing of their driver’s test from which the present sample was drawn? Let alpha=.05
4) A medical researcher is interested in determining if there is a relationship between adults over 50 who exercise regularly and low, moderate, and high blood pressure. A random sample of 236 adults over 50 is selected and the results are given below. Test the claim that regular exercise and low, moderate, and high blood pressure are independent. Use alpha= 0.01 Blood pressure: Reg exercise: low 35, moderate 62, high 25 No reg. Exercise: low 21, moderate 65, high 28
You think that there might be a relationship between income and what type of outdoor activities people participate in. You survey people in Southern California and get the following results for people’s favorite outdoor activities. For those with high incomes, 50 said mountain biking, 30 said surfing, and 20 said hiking. For those with low incomes, 20 said mountain biking, 50 said surfing, and 30 said hiking. Is there a relationship between income and type of outdoor activity? Complete an 8-step hypothesis test on this data.
Question #4. US Universities found that 72% of people are concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet. If a random sample of 300 college students at a Midwestern university were taken and 228 of them were concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet, could you conclude at the 0.025 level of significance that a higher proportion of the university's college students are concerned about Internet theft than the public at large? Report the p-value for this test. Z0.025 = 1.96

13.4 #8 A research article on the effect of multitasking on grade performance describes an experiment in which 62 undergraduate business students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups. Students in one group were asked to listen to a lecture but were told that they were permitted to use cell phones to send text messages during the lecture. Students in the second group listened to the same lecture but were not permitted to send text messages. Afterwards, students in both groups took a quiz on material covered in the lecture. Data from this experiment are summarized in the accompanying table.

In a study reported in the July 2007 issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, researchers investigated whether veterans are more likely to commit suicide than nonveterans. They spent 12 years following 104,000 veterans who had served in the armed forces between 1917 and 1994, and compared them with 216,000 nonveterans. They found that 197 veterans and 311 nonveterans committed suicide. Q: How many times more times is a veteran likely to commit suicide than a nonveteran? Round all values to 3 decimal places. Show as much work as possible.

An experiment to determine if a migraine medication decreases a person's average number of monthly migraines is performed on 400 people who report they have several migraines a month. Researchers randomly assigned 200 people to the treatment group and 200 people to the control group. After the study, the researchers determined that 48 of the subjects in the treatment group and 28 of the subjects in the control group average fewer migraines per month. The data from the two groups are resampled 150 times, and the table shows the distribution of the differences of the proportions for the reconfigured treatment and control groups.
Birthweight In 2003 the Journal of the AmericanMedical Association reported a study examining thepossible impact of air pollution caused by the 9/11 attack New York’s World Trade Center on the weight ofbabies. Researchers found that 8% of 182 babies born tomothers who were exposed to heavy doses of soot andash on September 11 were classified as having low birthweight. Only 4% of 2300 babies born in another NewYork City hospital whose mothers had not been near thesite of the disaster were similarly classified. Does thisindicate a possibility that air pollution might be linked toa significantly higher proportion of low-weight babies?a) Was this an experiment? Explain. b) Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclu-sion in context. c) If you concluded there is a difference, estimate thatdifference with a confidence interval and interpret thatinterval in context.
