A researcher wanted to study if the rate of obesity in a given village was the same as the global rate. She collected data from a random sample of 150 adults and found 14 of the adults in the sample were obese. It is claimed that 13% of adults globally are obese. (a) State an appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for the study. (b) Using a 5% significance level, obtain the test statistic for the hypothesis you proposed for part (a), clearly stating any assumptions you have made. (c) The exact p-value associated with the hypothesis for the study is 0.186. What should the researcher’s conclusion be based on this value?

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 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.
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?

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?
