In a clinical trial, 18 out of 820 patients taking a prescription drug daily complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 1.7% of patients taking competing drugs complain of flulike symptoms. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 1.7% of this drug's users experience flulike symptoms as a side effect at the a = 0.01 level of significance?

Suppose an experiment finds that people taking a new herbal remedy get fewer colds than people taking a placebo. The results are statistically significant at the 0.01 level. Has the experiment proven that the herbal remedy works?
In a recent survey, 10 percent of the participants rated Pepsi as being "concerned with my health." PepsiCo's response included a new "Smart Spot" symbol on its products that meet certain nutrition criteria, to help consumers who seek more healthful eating options. Suppose a follow-up survey shows that 24 of 200 persons now rate Pepsi as being "concerned with my health." Calculate the z statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) zcalc At α = .05, would a follow-up survey showing that 24 of 200 persons now rate Pepsi as being “concerned with my health” provide sufficient evidence that the percentage has increased? multiple choice No Yes

To combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 60 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 18 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Calculate the critical value. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Critical value _____ (a-2) Calculate the test statistic. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Dioxin Researchers have linked an increase in the inci-dence of breast cancer in Italy to dioxin released by an industrial accident in 1976. The study identified 981women who lived near the site of the accident and were under age 40 at the time. Fifteen of the women had devel-oped breast cancer at an unusually young average age of 45. Medical records showed that they had heightened con-centrations of dioxin in their blood and that each tenfold increase in dioxin level was associated with a doubling ofthe risk of breast cancer.

The article "Effects of Bottle Closure Type on Consumer Perception of Wine Quality"† reported that in a sample of 106 wine consumers, 22 thought that screw tops were an acceptable substitute for natural corks. Suppose a particular winery decided to use screw tops for one of its wines unless there was strong evidence to suggest that fewer than 25% of wine consumers found this acceptable. Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z= P-value=
In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a sample of 546 boys aged 6–11 was weighed, and it was determined that 89 of them were overweight. A sample of 508 girls aged 6–11 was also weighed, and 74 of them were overweight. Can you conclude that the proportion of boys who are overweight differs from the proportion of girls who are overweight? Find the P-value and state a conclusion. Round the answer to four decimal places.
Suppose researchers draw a sample of 300 breakfast sandwiches from a certain fast-food restaurant, and carry out a t test of the null hypothesis that the true mean sodium content is 1000, against the alternative hypothesis that it is greater than 1000. They find a negative value of the test statistic, and a p-value of 0.85. What would the p-value have been had they used a two-sided alternative hypothesis? (Give your response to at least 3 decimal places. Give only your numeric response, and not any extra characters or symbols.)

While trying to convince her friends that more than half of all sophomores live off-campus, Bren took a survey of a random sample of 129 sophomores and collected that among them 66 lived off-campus. Does this evidence support Bren's claim that more than half of all sophomores live off-campus at the 0.1 level of significance? p-value (round to four decimal places, use the cumulative table to find) = Conclusion (write R for "reject H0", and F for "fail to reject H0"):
