Are sexually active teenagers any better informed about AIDS and other potential health problems related to sex than teenagers who are sexually inactive? A 15 – item test of general knowledge about sex and health was administered to random samples of teens who are sexually inactive, teens who are sexually active but with only a single partner, and teens who are sexually active with more than one partner. Is there any significant difference in the test scores? Test the hypothesis at α = 0.05. Inactive Active (One Partner) Active (More than One Partner) 10 11 12 12 11 12 8 6 10 10 5 4 8 15 3 5 10 15

Is there a difference between men and women when it comes to seeking preventative healthcare? At the alpha = 0.01 of significance, test the claim that the proportion of those who have had a wellness visit with their physician in the year is the same for men and womenLet represent the proportion of females who have had a wellness visit with physician in the past year and represent the proportion of males who have done the same. 1.

A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. Can we conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is significantly less than or equal to 0.25? Let alpha = 0.05.
The appearance of leaf pigment glands in the seedling stage of cotton plants is genetically controlled. According to one theory of the control mechanism, the population ratio of glandular to glandless plants resulting from a certain cross should be 11.5, according to another it should be 13:3. In one experiment, the cross produced 89 glandular and 36 glandless plants. Use goodness-of-fit tests (at alpha= 0.10) to determine whether the data is consistent with a) the 11:5 theory, ar b) the 13:3 theory.
Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? 3. What is the Null Hypothesis? a)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) b)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) c)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) d)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion

A random sample of 100 male employees showed that 42 are working from home while a random sample of 100 female employees showed that 63 are working from home. Are the two population proportions equal? Test at alpha=0.05. What is Ho and Ha? And what is the test statistic value for this test? Based on the test statistic value, what is your decision?
We tested to see if people who consumed caffeine had a lower average reaction time than those who didn’t consume caffeine at the alpha = 0.08 level. Assume we found a p-value of 0.5437. Which below would be an appropriate conclusion and interpretation? With an alpha of 0.08, and a p-value of 0.5437, we fail to reject the null and state we have insufficient evidence to support that the true average reaction time of caffeine consumers was less than that of non-caffeine consumers. With an alpha of 0.08, and a p-value of 0.5437, we reject the null and state we have sufficient evidence to support that the true average reaction time of caffeine consumers was less than that of non-caffeine consumers. With an alpha of 0.08, and a p-value of 0.5437, we fail to reject the null and state we have sufficient evidence to support that the true average reaction time of caffeine consumers was less than that of non-caffeine consumers.

A new chemotherapy drug is released to treat leukemia and researchers suspect that the drug may have fewer side effects than the most commonly used drug to treat leukemia. The two drugs have equivalent efficacy. In order to determine if a larger study should be conducted to look into the prevalence of side effects for the two drugs, set up a Mann-Whitney U test at the alpha equals .05 level and interpret its results.
