A test designed to measure mothers' attitudes towards their labor and delivery experiences was given to two groups of new mothers. Sample 1 was those mothers who attended prenatal classes at the local health department. Sample 2 was comprised of mothers who did not attend the classes. a) Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that those who attended classes had a significantly different attitude than those mothers who did not attend? b)Test at the .05 level of significance. What is the appropriate hypothesis test to analyze this data? Justify your decision. c) Conduct a full hypothesis test, making sure to label all the steps and NEATLY show all your work. You will not get any credit for just showing your answers. d) Calculate estimated d for your data. Use the data n1 = 7, n2 = 9, mean1 = 6.88, mean2 = 3.41, s1 = 2.38, s2 = 2.16

Based on an analysis of the consequences of type I and type II errors for this hypothesis test, which significance level is most appropriate?
In an August 2012 Gallup survey of 1,012 randomly selected U.S. adults (age 18 and over), 536 said that they were dissatisfied with the quality of education students receive in kindergarten through grade 12. a. Test, at the 5% significance level, if this sample provides evidence that the proportion of Americans who are dissatisfied with education in kindergarten through grade 12 differs significantly from 50%. (Be sure to state all the 5 steps involved in a hypothesis testing, Hypothesis, Observed statistic, p-value and its interpretation, decision and conclusion in context of the problem). b. Is the Test Significant. Why or Why not.
What is the critical value for a one-tailed hypothesis test in which a null hypothesis is tested at the 5% level of significance based on a sample size of 24?
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.
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.

In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, one restaurant had 36 orders that were not accurate among 304 orders observed. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to 10%. Does the accuracy rate appear to be acceptable? A. Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test. B.Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test.(reject or fail to reject and why?) C.Does the accuracy rate appear to be acceptable? (is there or is there not sufficent evidance to reject the claim and why?)
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. We do not have convincing evidence…
