A company is producing and marketing new reading activities for elementary school children that it believes will improve reading comprehension scores. A researcher randomly assigns third graders to an eight-week program in which some will use these activities and others will experience traditional teaching methods. At the end of the experiment, both groups take a reading comprehension exam. Do the results attached below suggest that the new activities are better? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (Assume a significance level of a = 0.05.) E Click the icon to view the exam results. Test the null hypothesis at a = 0.05 using the two-sample t-test. Let the new activities be sample 1 and the control group sample 2. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Independent random samples of 32 people living on the west side of a city and 30 people living on the east side of a city were taken to determine if the income levels of west side residents are significantly different from the income levels of east side residents. Given the testing statistics below, determine if the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the income levels of west side residents are significantly different from the income levels of east side residents, at the 2% significance level. H0:μw=μeHa:μw≠μe t0=2.364 t0.01=±2.099 Select the correct answer below: No; the test statistic is not between the critical values. No; the test statistic is between the critical values. Yes; the test statistic is not between the critical values. Yes; the test statistic is between the critical values.

For a sample of 400 correctional officers at Lucasville State Prison, a researcher believes there is a relationship between “years on the job” and “willingness to help raise money for adult charities.” Using the following data, test the null hypothesis at the .01 level of significance that willingness to help raise donations does not differ by length of service as a correctional officer. In so doing, identify: (1) the research and null hypothesis, (2) the critical value needed to reject the null, (3) the decision that you made upon analyzing the data, and (4) the conclusion you have drawn based on the decision you have made.
A veterinarian is interested in researching the proportion of men and women cat owners and believes that the proportion of men cat owners is significantly different than the proportion of women cat owners. The veterinarian decides to obtain two independent samples of men and women cat owners and finds from one sample of 80 men, 30% owned cats. In the second sample of 60 women, 55% owned cats. Test the veterinarian's belief at the α=0.05α=0.05 significance level. Preliminary: Is it safe to assume that nmen≤5%nmen≤5% of all men and nwomen≤5%nwomen≤5% of all women? Yes No Verify nˆp(1−ˆp)≥10.np^(1-p^)≥10.

A professor at a large university believes that students take an average of 15 credit hours per term. A random sample of 22 students in her class of 250 students reported the following number of credit hours that they were taking: 12 12 12 13 13 14 14 14 14 15 15 15 16 16 16 16 16 17 17 18 19 21 Does this sample indicate that students are taking more credit hours than the professor believes?

Two types of flares are tested and their burning times (in minutes) are recorded. Summary statistics are given below.Brand Xn=35x = 19.4 mins = 1.4 min Brand Yn=40x = 15.1 mins = 0.8 min Use a 0.08 significance level to test the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean. Use the traditional method or the P Value method of hypothesis testing.
Considering a treadmill test given to patients being tested for high blood pressure, male patients took their pulse rates before and after running for 5 min. Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Pulse before 64 100 81 60 92 81 68 81 81 68 Pulse after 68 111 84 68 101 92 72 88 80 92 Using a 0.05 significance level, perform the 8-step hypothesis test to test the claim that the mean difference between the pulse rates before and after the run is significantly zero. Based on the result, do the male pulse rates taken before and after running appear to be about the same or not?
An investigator hypothesizes that the improvement rate associated with a placebo is P1 = 0.45, and that the improvement rate associated with an active drug is P2 = 0.65. The plan is to perform a two-tailed test. Use SAS to complete each problem below. (a) If a significance level 0.01 and a power of 0.95 are desired, how large a sample per treatment must he study? (b) How large must the sample size be if the significance level is relaxed to 0.05 and the power to 0.85? (c) For this study, suppose that you have funds to recruit 130 patients per group. What is the power for a 5% level test for this sample size? First do the computation by hand and then use SAS to confirm.
