According to a recent marketing campaign, 100 drinkers of either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi participated in a blind taste test to see which of the drinks was their favorite. In one Pepsi television commercial, an anouncer states that "in recent blind taste tests, more than one half of the surveyed preferred Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke." Suppose that out of those 100, 50 preferred Diet Pepsi. Test the hypothesis, using α=0.01 that more than half of all participants will select Diet Pepsi in a blind taste test by giving the following: (a) the test statistic (b) the critical z score The final conclusion is A. We can reject the null hypothesis that p≤0.5 and accept that p>0.5. B. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that ?p≤0.5.

The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any two-year period, approximately 10.5percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 150 people in a certain town, eight of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be?
In a clinical study, a random sample of 540 participants agree to have their blood drawn, which is to be examined for the presence of antibodies against a certain contagious disease. It is found in 22% of the blood samples, which experimenters hope to extrapolate to the general population. From this random sample, 10 participants' blood samples are selected at random. If X is the number of samples out of the 10 who have these antibodies, what can we say about X? A. The sample size is not large enough for us to approximate X using a normal distribution B.The expected value of X is 22 C. X can be approximated using a normal distribution in lieu of a binomial distribution D. X has a sampling distribution that is normal
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. find the p value
Let p1 and p2 be the respective proportions of women with iron-deficiency anemia in each of two developing countries. A random sample of 1900 women from the first country yielded 513 women with iron-deficiency anemia, and an independently chosen, random sample of 1700 women from the second country yielded 515 women with iron-deficiency anemia. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the proportion of women with anemia in the first country is less than the proportion of women with anemia in the second country? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts below. a. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1. b. Find the values of the test statistic. c. FInd the p-value. d. Can we conclude that the proportion of women with anemia in the first country is less than the proportion of women with anemia in the second country?
19. A local brewery produces three premium lagers named Half Pint, XXX, and Dark Knight. Of its premium lagers, the brewery bottles 40% Half Pint, 40% XXX, and 20% Dark Knight. In a marketing test of a sample of 80 consumers, 26 preferred the Half Pint lager, 42 preferred the XXX lager, and 12 preferred the Dark Night lager. Using a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, test whether the production of the premium lagers matches these consumer preferences using a .05 level of significance. 19. Step 1: Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses?A. H0: The preferences will not match production (40% Half Pint, 40% XXX, 20% Dark Knight); and H1: The preferences will match production B. H0: \mu_{1}μ1 = \mu_{2}μ2 = \mu_{3}μ3; and H1: At least one of the categories will be different than the others C. H0: The preferences will match production (40% Half Pint, 40% XXX, 20% Dark Knight); and H1: The preferences will not match production 19b. Step 2: Compute the df and locate the…

An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 11.5 percent of adults in a country suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, nine of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country. At a pre-conceived α = 0.05, what are your following?Decision: , Reason for the decision: ,Conclusion
In the current pandemic, researchers are working on creating antibody tests to determine which individuals have already had an infection caused by the COVID-19 virus. If someone has been infected, then they will have certain antibodies in their system and the hope is that a highly accurate test can be created to detect these antibodies. Assume a researcher creates a new antibody test, which for individuals who are known to have had the infection in the past and thus truly have the COVID-19 antibodies, gives a positive result 95% of the time. This same test gives a negative result 90% of time for people who do not have the antibodies. Assume that COVID-19 has affected 5% of the population in the region of interest. What is the probability someone has NOT been infected previously given that their antibody test result comes back positive? [four decimals]
A researcher conducted a medical study to investigate whether taking a low-dose aspirin reduces the chance of developing colon cancer. As part of the study, 1,000 adult volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Half of the volunteers were assigned to the experimental group that took a low-dose aspirin each day, and the other half were assigned to the control group that took a placebo each day. At the end of six years, 15 of the people who took the low-dose aspirin had developed colon cancer and 26 of the people who took the placebo had developed colon cancer. At the significance level α = 0.05, do the data provide convincing statistical evidence that taking a low-dose aspirin each day would reduce the chance of developing colon cancer among all people similar to the volunteers?
A graduate student realized that the depression study above in Question 4 should have had a placebo condition in which a third group was given a pill just as the people in the Drug condition were, but where the pill was not Drug D (e.g., a sugar pill). So she designed a new experiment with three conditions -- Drug, No Drug, and Placebo. To perform the experiment, the graduate student randomly assigned 18 people into the three groups so that each group has 6 people. After one month of treatment, all 18 people were asked to rate on a scale from 1 to 7 how depressed they felt, where 1 = not depressed at all and 7 = very depressed. The following are the data: Drug No Drug Placebo 2 4 5 3 5 5 4 5 6 4 4 5 2 6 4 3 6 5 nD = 6 nND = 6 nplacebo = 6 MD = 3 MND = 5 Mplacebo = 5 Using an α-level of .05, perform an…
