Section 9.1 Question #4 Since an instant replay system for tennis was introduced at a major tournament, men challenged 1386 referee calls, with the result that 429 of the calls were overturned. Women challenged 758 referee calls, and 212 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. H0: p1=p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 B. H0: p1 ≥ p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 C. H0: p1 ≤ p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 D. H0: p1 ≠ p2 H1: p1 = p2 E.

Question 16 In a test of the effectiveness of a new battery design, 16 battery-powered music boxes are randomly provided with either the old design or the new version. Hours of playing time before battery failure were as follows: New battery type (hrs) 3.3 6.4 3.9 5.4 5.1 4.6 4.9 7.2 Old battery type (hrs) 4.2 2.9 4.5 4.9 5.0 5.1 3.2 4.0 Assuming normal populations with equal variances. The null and alternative hypotheses are used to determine whether the new battery could be better than the old design. At 1% level of significance, do reject or fail to reject H0? Reject H0 because t- statistic lies between -2.625 and 2.625 Reject H0 because z-statistic lies bewteen -2.625 and 2.625 Fail to reject H0 because t-statistic is greater than 2.625 Fail to reject H0 because t-statistic is less than 2.625

A report describes a survey of 500 licensed drivers. Each driver in the sample was asked if they would prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving, to use a partially self-driving car that allowed partial driver control, or to turn full control over to a driverless car. Suppose that it is reasonable to regard this sample as a random sample of licensed drivers in the United States, and that you want to use the data from this survey to decide if there is evidence that fewer than half of all licensed drivers in the United States prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving. (d) The actual sample proportion observed in the study was p̂ = 0.44. Based on this sample proportion, is there convincing evidence that fewer than 50% of licensed drivers prefer to keep complete control of the car when driving, or is the sample proportion consistent with what you would expect to see when the null hypothesis is true? Support your answer with a probability calculation. (Round…

This problem is based on information taken from The Merck Manual (a reference manual used in most medical and nursing schools). Diltiazem is a commonly prescribed drug for hypertension. However, diltiazem causes headaches in about 12% of patients using the drug. It is hypothesized that regular exercise might help reduce the headaches. If a random sample of 205 patients using diltiazem exercised regularly and only 15 had headaches, would this indicate a reduction in the population proportion of patients having headaches? Use a 1% level of significance. 1. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2. Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Reviewers from the Oregon Evidence-Based Practice Center at the Oregon Health and Science University investigated the effectiveness of prescription drugs in assisting people to fall asleep and stay asleep (source: S. Carson, M.S. McDonagh, et al., “Drug class review: Newer drugs for insomnia,” Oregon Health and Science University, 2008, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Suppose a study of two drugs, Sonata and Ambien, was conducted and the resulting data are contained in a file titled Shuteye. The samples reflect an experiment in which individuals were randomly given the two brands of pills on separate evenings. Their time spent sleeping was recorded for each of the brands of sleeping pills. (A) Does the experiment seem to have dependent or independent samples? Explain your reasoning. (B) Do the data indicate that there is a statistical difference in the mean time spent sleeping for people using the two drugs? Test using alpha = 0.02. Conduct a statistical procedure to determine this. (C)…
