The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 8.8% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 11.3% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the 8.8% in the general adult American population. Test the relevant hypotheses using a 5% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. a. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) H0: H1: b. Based on the hypotheses, find the following: c. Test Statistic = d. p-value = e. Based on the above we choose to:_____________ f. The correct summary would be: ____________ that the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a…

According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.36. Suppose a random sample of 110 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 49 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
Suppose that 80% of 3–4-year-old children and 70% of5–8-year-old children in a village are vaccinated with QIVvaccine. Also assume that children who are not vaccinatedhave twice the incidence of influenza as the control groupin Table 3.7.3.29 What % of 3–4-year-old children in the village will getinfluenza?3.30 What % of 5–8-year-old children in the village will getinfluenza?3.31 Suppose we identify a 5–8-year-old child with influenzain the village but are uncertain whether the childwas vaccinated. If we make the same assumptions as inProblems 3.29–3.30, then what is the probability that thechild was vaccinated? (Hint: Use Bayes’ rule here.)

Suppose you want to compare Mu_a and Mu_b, which are the true mean stopping distances for two different braking systems for cars travelling at 50 km/hr. An automobile manufacturer suspects Braking System A is more effective (has less stopping distance) than Braking System B; that is, System A will stop a car travelling at 50 km/hr in a shorter distance, on average, than System B. In order to test the manufacturer's suspicion, what is the appropriate alternative hypothesis? Select one: a. H1: Mu_a – Mu_b < > 0 b. H1: Mu_a – Mu_b > 50 c. H1: Mu_a – Mu_b = 0 d. H1: Mu_a – Mu_b > 0 e. H1: Mu_a – Mu_b < 0
4.A new vitamin supplementation program is intended to decrease average resting heart rate inindividuals at risk for hypertension. Assume that a team of researchers are hopeful that restingheart rate in their population will get down to less than 68 bpm, in a population with a standarddeviation of 2 bpm. In order to test this goal reduction, the team gathers a SRS of 273participants in their program and calculates a sample average resting heart rate of 74 bpm.A) Carry out a one sample Z test to determine if the team can conclude that the supplementationprogram is successful in meeting their goal reduction in resting heart rate. Use an α=0.05.B) Construct a 95% Confidence interval about the sample mean, and interpret the result.
Indicate whether CPAs in states that have flat state income tax rates work fewer hours per week during tax season compared to the US average. You will want to formally set up H0 and Ha, report either the test statistic (z-value) or p-value, and explain why you either reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis.
To evaluate the effect of a treatment, a sample of n = 8 is obtained from a population with a mean of μ= 40, and the treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 35. If the sample variance isS2= 32, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with α=.05? If the sample variance isS2= 72, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with α=.05? Comparing your answer for parts a and b, how does the variability of the scores in the sample influence the outcome of a hypothesis test?
A university wants to investigate 'low-performance' modules - where low-performance is defined as a module with an average final mark lower than 50 in a given year. To test whether ECO242 is a 'low-performance' module, a researcher gathers data on final marks for 31 first ECO242 students from past years. If the mean and variance of this sample is estimated, respectively, as 48 and 38, test the hypothesis, at α=0.05, that the true mean is 50 against the hypothesis that it is less than 50. Q1: Is this an example of (two/left/right) tailed test?
