In order to test the efficacy of a program designed to get more women to major in STEM fields in college, 700 women who went through the program were compared to 1200 students who did not go through the program. Of the women who went through the program, 125 of them majored in a STEM field in college. Of the 1200 women who did not go through the program, 174 of them majored in a STEM field. Performa hypothesis test to see if there is statistically significant evidence that the proportion of women who went through the program is significantly greater than the proportion who did not go through the program. Perform the test at the alpha = 0.05 level. What is thep-value and conclusion of this test? p-value = 0.026; Fail to reject the null hypothesis %3D p-value = 0.026; Reject the null hypothesis p-value = 0.053; Fail to reject the null hypothesis

What Proportion of College Students Are Satisfied with Their Overall Academic Expereince? Exercise 2.16 introduces a survey of 5204 first-year full-time college students in the US. The survey was administered at the end of the first year, and 4122 of the students in the sample said that they were satisfied with their overall academic experience during the first year. Does the data from this sample provide evidence that more than 75% of US full-time students are satisfied with their overall academic experience at the end of their first year? Give all details of the hypothesis test. Test-statistic = (round to the nearest whole)p-value = (round to three decimal places)Conclusion:. Reject H0; We cannot conclude that more than 75% are satisfied. Do not reject H0; More than 75% of US students are satisfied with their overall academic experience. Do not reject H0; We cannot conclude that more than 75% are satisfied. Reject H0; More than 75% of US…
2.Researchers studied selenium levels in beef raised in a low selenium region of the United States. The goal of the study was to compare selenium levels in the region-raised beef to selenium levels in cooked venison, squirrel, and beef from other regions of the United States. The data in the Excel file (se_level.xlsx or se_level.txt) are the selenium levels calculated on a dry weight basis in mg=100 g for a sample of 53 region-raised cattle 11.23 29.63 20.42 10.12 39.91 32.66 38.38 36.21 16.39 27.44 17.29 56.20 28.94 20.11 25.35 21.77 31.62 32.63 30.31 46.16 56.61 24.47 29.39 40.71 18.52 27.80 19.49 15.82 27.74 22.35 34.78 35.09 32.60 37.03 27.00 44.20 13.09 33.03 9.69 32.45 37.38 34.91 27.99 22.36 22.68 26.52 46.01 38.04 30.88 30.04 25.91 18.54 25.51 Please answer the following questions: Use these data to construct: A…

Recent incidents of food contamination have caused great concern among consumers. The article “How Safe Is That Chicken?” (Consumer Reports, Jan. 2010: 19–23) reported that 35 of 80 randomly selected Perdue brand broilers tested positively for either campylobacter or salmonella (or both), the leading bacterial causes of food-borne disease, whereas 66 of 80 Tyson brand broilers tested positive. If the true proportions of non-contaminated chickens for the Perdue and Tyson brands are .50 and .25, respectively, how likely is it that the null hypothesis of equal proportions will be rejected when a .01 significance level is used and the sample sizes are both 80?
Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids have a wide variety of health benefits. Omega-3 oils can be found in foods such as fish, walnuts, and flaxseed. A company selling milled flaxseed advertises that one tablespoon of the product contains, on average, at least 3800 mg of ALNA, the primary omega-3. a) The company plans to conduct a test to ensure that there is sufficient evidence that its claimiscorrect. Tobesafe,thecompanywantstomakesurethatevidenceshowsthe average is higher than 3800 mg. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? b) Suppose, instead, that a consumer organization plans to conduct a test to see if there is evidence against the claim that the product contains an average of 3800 mg per tablespoon. The consumer organization will only take action if it finds evidence that the claim made by the company is false and that the actual average amount of omega-3 is less than 3800 mg. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
Researchers studied 208 infants whose brains were temporarily deprived of oxygen due to complications at birth. When researchers detected oxygen deprivation, they randomly assigned babies to either usual care or to a whole-body cooling group. The goal was to see whether reducing body temperature for three days after birth increased the rate of survival without brain damage. What is the explanatory variable? A. Survival without brain damage B.Infants whose brains are temporarily deprived of oxygen C. Usual care or whole-body cooling
Colonoscopy is a medical procedure that is designed to find and remove precancerous lesions in the colon before they become cancerous. The article “Association of Colonoscopy and Death from Colorectal Cancer” (N. Baxter, M. Goldwasser, et al., Annals of Internal Medicine, 2009:1–8) reports that in a sample of 10,292 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer, 7.0% had previously had a colonoscopy, and in a sample of 51,460 people without colorectal cancer, 9.8% had previously had a colonoscopy. Can you conclude that the percentage of people who have had colonoscopies is greater in those without colorectal cancer?
Angioplasty is a medical procedure in which an obstructed blood vessel is widened. In some cases, a wire mesh tube, called a stent, is placed in the vessel to help it remain open. The article “Long-term Outcomes of Patients Receiving Drug-eluting Stents” (A. Philpott, D. Southern, et al., Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2009:167–174) presents the results of a study comparing the effectiveness of a bare metal stent with one that that has been coated with a drug designed to prevent reblocking of the vessel. A total of 5320 patients received bare metal stents, and of these, 841 needed treatment for reblocking within a year. A total of 1120 received drug coated stents, and 134 of them required treatment within a year. a) Find a 98% confidence interval for the differences between the proportions for drug coated stents and bare metal stents. b) Suppose that additional patients are to be treated in order to increase the precision of the confidence interval. Three sampling plans are…
