It is claimed that only 5% of professional golfers are left-handed. Believing this claimed value is incorrect, a researcher surveys a large random sample of professional golfers and finds that the percentage who are left-handed is 3%. When a hypothesis test is conducted at a significance (or alpha) level of 0.01, the p-value is found to be 0.02. What decision should the researcher make based on the results of the hypothesis test? A. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.02 is less than 0.05. B. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.02 is less than 0.03. C. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.02 is greater than 0.01. D. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.03 is greater than 0.01. E. The null hypothesis should not be rejected.

In a sample of 150 hospital emergency admissions with a certain diagnosis, 128 listed vomiting as a presenting symptom. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate, at the 0.01 level ofsignificance, that the population proportion is less than 0.92? What is the null hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is the p-value? What is the conclusion?
A sample poll of 500 voters from Michigan and 300 voters from Wisconsin showed that 51% and 49% is in favor of Donald Trump, respectively. At a significance level of 0.05, and using two-tailed test: a.) What should be the good hypotheses? b.) What is the t-value/z-value? c.) Is there is a difference between the two states?
In the previous year, 40% of women over the age of fifty had regularly scheduled mammograms. Following last year's test, a campaign was initiated to encourage women to be tested regularly. This year, a cancer research group surveys a random sample of 450 women, and 195 respond affirmatively. With a 5% significance level, test to see if the campaign was effective. What is the null hypothesis? options: H0: μ ≤ 0.4 H0: μ ≥ 0.4 H0: p ≠ 0.4 H0: p ≥ 0.4 H0: p ≤ 0.4 H0: μ ≠ 0.4 None of these.
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level. viii) Comparing p-value and α value, which is the correct decision to make for this hypothesis test? A. Reject H B. Fail to reject Ho C. Accept Ho D. Accept HA Enter letter corresponding to correct answer. (ix) Select the statement that most correctly interprets the result of this test: A. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. Evidence supports the claim that the proportion of complaints due to identity theft in Alaska is less than 23%. B. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. There is not…
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. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context.
It has been determined that 37 out of 100 adult Americans that did not attend college believe in extra-terrestrials. However, from a random sample of 100 adult Americans that did not attend college 43 claim that they believe in extra-terrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who did not attend college and who believe in extra-terrestrials has changed? Conduct a hypothesis test with a = 0.01 and interpret the results.
It is claimed that the proportion of high school athletes who go on to play sports in college is 0.10. Believing this claimed value is incorrect, a researcher surveys a random sample of former high school athletes and finds that the proportion who went on to play sports in college is 0.08. When a hypothesis test is conducted at a significance (or alpha) level of 0.05, the P-value is found to be 0.04. What decision should the researcher make based on the results of the hypothesis test?
A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that at least 90% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 800 people, 88% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. What practical conclusion can we make about the claim? What would be our formal conclusion if we used a 0.01 significance level?
The National Cyber Security Alliance claims that 85% of computer owners believe that they have a antivirus program installed on their computer. If a random sample of 400 scanned computers found that 324 of them (81%) actually had an antivirus program installed, use the sample proportion to test the claim at the 90% (? = 0.10) significance level. Use the hypothesis H0: p = 0.85 and H1: p ≠ 0.85 with a two-tail test: Based on the above Z score – should you REJECT the null hypothesis H0? (A) YES (B) NO
