A new treatment for a severe allergy is claimed to have a better cure rate than the standard of care, which has 60% of cure rate. A random sample of 50 patients, suffering from allergy, are given the new treatment and as a result 34 are cured. a) Is the claim valid for a significance level of 0.05? Use p-value analysis. b) If you conclude that the claim is not valid, i) what would be the required sample size to support the claim? ii) otherwise, what would be the required sample size to unsupport the claim For the analysis in part b assume that the percentage change in n and number of cured patients are exactly the same, i.e. if n is doubled, that is n = 100, than number of cured people will also be doubled, i.e. 68 etc.)

Independent random samples of 27 people living on the west side of a city and 26 people living on the east side of a city were taken to determine if the income levels of west side residents are less than 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 less than the income levels of east side residents, at the 4% significance level
Kevin, a Human Resources professional, would like to make the claim that the average hourly wage for administrative workers at his company is less than $9.69. Kevin samples 15 workers and obtains a sample mean of $8.80 per hour. At the 1% significance level, should Kevin reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis given the sample data below?
An information technology help desk has a service level agreement (SLA) that says that clients should be contacted about their service requests within 1 hour (60 minutes) of the help desk receiving the request. Jackie, the help desk manager, wants to check if the help desk is actually taking longer than 60 minutes to respond. For a random sample of 20 service requests, Jackie obtained the time between the help desk receiving the request and the client being contacted. The marketer conducts a one-mean hypothesis at the 5% significance level, to test whether the response time is greater than 60 minutes. (a) Which answer choice shows the correct null and alternative hypotheses for this test? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ=20; Ha:μ<20, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ=60; Ha:μ<60, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ=20; Ha:μ>20, which is a right-tailed test. H0:μ=60; Ha:μ>60, which is a right-tailed test.
In a nationally representative sample of 1,668 adult Americans, 510 indicated that they had checked their credit score within the last 12 months. Suppose of the 510 people that had checked their credit report within the last 12 months, 39% had done so as part of their regular financial planning. Does this provide convincing evidence that more than one-third of adult Americans who have checked their credit scores within the past 12 months did so as part of regular financial planning? Carry out a test using a significance level of 0.01. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use a table or SALT. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z=P-value= State the conclusion in the problem context. Fail to reject H0. We have convincing evidence that more than one-third of adult Americans who have checked their credit scores within the past 12 months did so as part of regular financial planning.Fail to reject H0.

Since an instant replay system for tennis was introduced at a major tournament, men challenged 1407 referee calls, with the result that 425 of the calls were overturned. Women challenged 771 referee calls, and 213 of the calls were overturned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that men and women have equal success in challenging calls. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of male tennis players who challenged referee calls and the second sample to be the sample of female tennis players who challenged referee calls. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? A. Upper H 0 : p 1 equalsp 2 Upper H 1 : p 1 not equalsp 2 B. Upper H 0 : p 1 not equalsp 2 Upper H 1 : p 1 equalsp 2 C.

A researcher looks at the mean salaries of male and female electricians and decides based on the evidence that there is no difference between the two groups. Given that there was a failure to reject the null hypothesis, it is possible that a type II error was made. Given the type of error made in this situation, what could researchers do to reduce the risk of this error? Choose a .01 significance level, instead of a .05 significance level. Increase the sample size.

A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that at least 90% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 800 people, 88% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. What practical conclusion can we make about the claim? What would be our formal conclusion if we used a 0.01 significance level?
