A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 20% 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 100 people, 21% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is larger than 20% at the 0.10 significance level. The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 40% 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 500 people, 35% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is smaller than 40% at the 0.005 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H0:μ≥0.4 H1:μ<0.4 H0:p≤0.4 H1:p>0.4 H0:p=0.4 H1:p≠0.4 H0:p≥0.4 H1:p<0.4 H0:μ=0.4 H1:μ≠0.4 H0:μ≤0.4 H1:μ>0.4 The test is: two-tailed left-tailed right-tailed The test statistic is: (to 3 decimals)The p-value is: (to 4 decimals)Based on this we: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis
An automobile mileage study tested the following hypotheses. Hypothesis Conclusion H0: µ 25 mpg Manufacturer’s claim supported Ha: µ 25 mpg Manufacturer’s claim rejected; average mileage per gallon less than stated For σ 3 and a .02 level of significance, what sample size would be recommended if the researcher wants an 80% chance of detecting that µ is less than 25 miles per gallon when it is actually 24?
When asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. Why is Tatum wrong?
Historically, the percentage of U.S. residents who support stricter gun control laws has been 55%. A recent Gallup Poll of 2500 people showed 1723 in favor of stricter gun control laws . Assume the poll was given to a random sample of people. QUESTION Test the claim that the proportion of those favoring stricter gun control has changed from 0.55. Perform a hypothesis test, using a significance level of 0.01. What are the hypotheses? Null: p=0.55 Alternate: p=0.55 Null: p=0.55 Alternate: p0.55 Null: p=0.55 Alternate: p ≠ 0.55
A study investigated survival rates for in-hospital patients who suffered cardiac arrest. Among 60,000 patients who had cardiac arrest during the day, 11,610 survived and were discharged. Among 28,500 patients who suffered cardiac arrest at night, 5400 survived and were discharged. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that survival rates are the same for day and night patients. a) Define the parameters and state null and alternative hypothesis b) Test Statistics c) P-value Approach d) Conclusion
If, in a (two-tail) hypothesis test, the p-value is 0.0921, what is your statistical decision if you test the null hypothesis at the 0.06 level of significance?
When asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. what is wrong about this?
An investigator hypothesizes that the improvement rate associated with a placebo is P1 = 0.45, and that the improvement rate associated with an active drug is P2 = 0.65. The plan is to perform a two-tailed test. Use SAS to complete each problem below. (b) How large must the sample size be if the significance level is relaxed to 0.05 and the power to 0.85? Suppose that instead of accruing an equal number of patients on each treatment arm, you allocate 1.5 patients to the new treatment for every patient on standard treatment. What sample size is required on each arm to guarantee 85% power with a level 0.05? How does the sample size computed here compare with the total required sample size in (b)?
A health provider saw that 48% of their members received their flu shot in recent years. The health care provider tried a new advertising strategy the following year, and they took a sample of members to test if the proportion who received their flu shot had changed. Determine the null and alternative hypothesis
Which of the following is not true of a repeated-measures design compared to an independent-measures design? a. The repeated-measures design reduces unexplained variability. b. The repeated-measures design has no risk that the participants in one treatment are noticeably different from the participants in the other treatment. c. The repeated-measures design requires fewer participants. d. The repeated-measures design is less likely to reject the null hypothesis.
Back in April and May of 1985, the Gallup organization conducted a poll to estimate the percentage of Americans who approved of how President Reagan was handling his job. At the 5% significance level, do the data suggest that the percentage of those who approved of Reagan increased from April to May in 1985? Population 1: April p = 795/1528 = 0.5203 Population 2: May p = 840/1528 = 0.5497 Show all your steps, setting up your null and alternative hypothesis.
