A researcher looks at the mean salaries of male and female electricians and decides based on the evidence that there is no difference between the two groups. Given that there was a failure to reject the null hypothesis, it is possible that a type II error was made. Given the type of error made in this situation, what could researchers do to reduce the risk of this error? Choose a .01 significance level, instead of a .05 significance level. Increase the sample size.
In a studyy of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 39 were smoking one year after the treatment, and 32 were not smoking one year after the treatment.

The drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 252 boys aged ten – twelve years old, it was found that 44 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 – 15 who take Ritalin is 24%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 – 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Show that you can use the large sample methodology. c.
