A recent study was conducted where 59 men, and 59 women, were observed washing their hands. Of the 59 men, 19 were observed as not washing their hands. Of the 59 women, 8 were observed not washing their hands. The claim is that women are 50% more likely to wash their hands than men. Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

A national publishing house claims that 45% of all weekly magazine readers in South Africa read their publication. Test this claim at the 5% significance level, if a survey found that 205 out of a random sample of 500 magazine readers said that they read the relevant publication. Remember to use the five steps in the hypothesis testing procedure for the answer
in the study, 368 babies were born, and 210 of them were girls. Use the sample data with a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with this method, the probability of a baby being a girl is greater than 0.05. what is the hypothesis test to be conducted? what is the P-value?
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.
In a survey taken in 2020, 20 out of 50 women and 17 out of 45 men said that they felt our country was headed in the wrong direction regarding universal health care. Do these data provide sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to conclude that the proportions of women and men that feel out country is headed in the wrong direction regarding healthcare are equal? Use the P-Value Method of Testing. In your work space below, you will need to have -1. The null hypothesis, Ho 2. The alternative hypothesis, H1 3. The test statistic 4. The type of test(left, right, two-tailed) and the p-value 5. The decision to accept Ho or reject Ho
Researchers are comparing the intelligence levels of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors. Assuming that there is a systematic difference in intelligence levels between the two groups and researchers reject the null hypothesis, they have committed what? Failing to reject the null hypothesis means:
In the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and 33 of those children developed polio. The other 200745 children were given a placebo, and 115 of those children developed polio. If we want to test the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the Salk vaccine, are the requirements for the hypothesis test satisfied? Explain step by step in detail ,
In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 40 were smoking one year after treatment and 33 were not smoking one year after the treatment. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is not effective? Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test and the conclusion for this hypothesis test
