Power Operation

Power operation is topic of algebra in Math. It is use to represent repeated multiplication. Very big number and very small number can be easily express using power operation. Power operation is useful in many fields. In space engineering, it helps in representing the distance or size of particular heavenly body. In medical field, it is used to represent very small size. In medical field it helps to mention size of bacteria or virus.

Exponents

The exponent or power or index of a variable/number is the number of times that variable/number is multiplied by itself.

What would you conclude based on an α=0.05 level? We reject the null hypothesis and do not accept the alternative hypothesis since there is sufficient evidence that the proportion of all vehicles that meet or exceed current fuel economy standards is greater than 90% due to the p-value being greater than the α level. Explain the results of your hypothesis test. What does the p-value signify? Would you say the observed outcome was unusual? If so, how unusual was the outcome?
A risky eye surgery for patients in danger of permanent blindness is known to historically cure the condition in 35% of all cases of performing the surgical procedure. A new procedure is proposed for which the researchers claim that they will improve that rate of cure. -The researchers test their claim by performing the new procedure on 100 patients. Some improve and some do not. After performing the appropriate statistical calculations, they find a p-value of 0.02. If they are testing at an alpha level of 0.05, what should they conclude? Be sure the write your answer in the context of the problem.
OxyContin The drug OxyContin (oxycodone) is used to treat pain, but it is dangerous because it is addictive and can be lethal. In clinical trials, 227 subjects were treated with OxyContin and 52 of them developed nausea (based on data from Purdue Pharma L.P.). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than 20% of OxyContin users develop nausea. Does the rate of nausea appear to be too high?
Two types of valves are being tested to determine if there is a difference in pressure tolerances. Fifteen out of a random sample of 100 of Valve A cracked under 4,500 psi. Six out of a random sample of 100 of Valve B cracked under 4,500 psi. Test at a 5% level of significance

two types of preoperative skin preparation before performing open heart surgery. These two preparations used aqueous iodine and insoluble iodine. Do these data provide sufficient evidence at the α = 0.05 level to justify the conclusion that they type of skin preparation and infection are associated?
A forensic psychologist is interested in testing whether serial killers are more introverted than the general population. A sample of 16 serial killers serving life sentences was tested and found to have a sample mean introversion score of 41 and a standard deviation (s) of 10. The population mean (µ) for introversion is 36 What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Using an alpha level of .05, determine whether his sample was significantly different from population. Report and interpret an effect size. Given your conclusion in part b, what type of error might you be making?
The U.S. Department of Health monitors fishing waters, to determine if the bacteria count has risen above a maximum safe level of 70. The following observations were obtained from 9 random samples of a stream: 69, 74, 75, 70, 72, 73, 71, 73, and 68. Can you say that the bacteria are above the safe level (alpha=0.05)? Calculate the appropriate test statistic. What is the critical value for the test? Would you issue a warning about the bacteria levels in the stream? Why?
Before a company decides to purchase a large quantity of a solvent, it would like to see substantive evidence that the mean value of an impurity-forming substance is less than 1.0 ppb. What is the hypothesis to be tested here? What are the type I and type II statistical errors that can be made in this regard?
We found no difference on the reported self-esteem level between female participants (M=5.39, SD = .83) and male participants (M = 5.50, SD = .78), t (152) = -.86, p=.393. What was the design of this study? Between-subjects/Within-subjects (Please choose) What was the DV (variable of interest)? How many participants were included in the analysis? In average, what was male participants’ reported self-esteem level in this study? Was the null hypothesis rejected? Yes/No (Please choose)
A clinical psychologist is interested in testing whether serial killers are more introverted than the general population. A sample of 9 serial killers serving life sentences was tested and found to have a sample mean introversion score of 41 and standard deviation (s) of 6.8. If the population mean (µ) is 36, are serial killers significantly different from the normal population? What are the null and alternative hypotheses? What significance test did you use? Using an alpha level of .05, determine whether the sample was significantly different from population. Report and interpret an effect size. Given your conclusion in part b, what type of error might you be making?
A consulting firm had predicted that 30% of employees at a large firm would take advantage of a new company Credit Union, but management is skeptical. They felt the rate would be lower. A survey of 250 employees shows that 82 of them are currently taking advantage of the Credit Union. Calculate the appropriate test statistic based on this data.
