A recent study focused on the method of payment used by college students for their cell phone bills. Of the 1,220 students surveyed, 600 stated that their parents pay their cell phone bills. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the majority of college students' cell phone bills are paid by their parents. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this scenario. Test the claim that the majority of college students' cell phone bills are paid by their parents. Your response should include your decision and conclusion in the context of the scenario.

In a studyy of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 39 were smoking one year after the treatment, and 32 were not smoking one year after the treatment. We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking a year after the treatment. a) What is the null hypothesis? b) What is the alternative hypothesis? c) What is the value of the standard score for the sample proportion? d) What is the P-value? e) Describe a type I error for this test. f) Describe a type II error for this test.
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level. viii) Comparing p-value and α value, which is the correct decision to make for this hypothesis test? A. Reject H B. Fail to reject Ho C. Accept Ho D. Accept HA Enter letter corresponding to correct answer. (ix) Select the statement that most correctly interprets the result of this test: A. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. Evidence supports the claim that the proportion of complaints due to identity theft in Alaska is less than 23%. B. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. There is not…
In a survey, 716 out of 1132 randomly selected adults in the United States said that they use cell phones while driving. a) Use a 0.02 significance level when testing the claim that the proportion of adults who use cell phones while driving is different than 70%. b) What does the conclusion mean?
In follow up to my last test, I believe there are more females that use iPhones then males. In a study of ten males and ten females, see the data below: 5 out of 10 males surveyed use an iPhone. 7 out of 10 females surveyed use an iPhone. What is the null hypothesis and proposed hypothesis? Should we reject the null hypothesis at a .01 significance level and why? Is the proposed hypothesis acceptable based on evidence presented?
The drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 252 boys aged ten – twelve years old, it was found that 44 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 – 15 who take Ritalin is 24%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 – 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Show that you can use the large sample methodology. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context.
A Gallup poll to survey the top concerns of Americans was conducted. Suppose that 566 women and 465 men were independently and randomly selected and that 322 women and 172 men chose the state of the economy as their biggest concern. Can we conclude that the proportion of women ( p1 ), choosing the state of the economy as their biggest concern, exceeds the proportion of men ( p2 )? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Step 2 of 6 : Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1p^1 and pˆ2p^2. Round your answers to three decimal places. Step 3 of 6 : Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾p‾. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 6 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Step 5 of 6 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0H0. Round the numerical portion of…
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?
A medical research team conducted a study to test the effect of a migraine drug. Of the 400 subjects who took the drug, 100 were pain free after two hours. Of the 407 subjects that took a placebo, 40 were pain free after two hours. Can you reject the claim that the proportion of subjects who are pain-free is the same for the two groups? Use the appropriate hypothesis test at the 2% significance level. Be sure to use the p-value to make your conclusion.
For the x and observed significance level (P-Value) pair, indicate whether the bull hypothesis would be rejected.
In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, one restaurant had 31 orders that were not accurate among 399 orders observed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to 10%. Does the accuracy rate appear to be acceptable? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: p=0.1 H1: p>0.1 B. H0: p=0.1 H1: p<0.1 C. H0: p=0.1 H1: p≠0.1 D. H0: p≠0.1 H1:p= Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is _____ (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test. The P-value for this hypothesis test is ____ (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test. A. Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to 10%.…
