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?
A bank with a branch located in a commercial district of a city has the business objective of developing an improved process for serving customers during the noon-to-1 p.m. lunch period. Management decides to first study the waiting time in the current process. The waiting time is defined as the time that elapses from when the customer enters the line until he or she reaches the teller window. Data are collected from a random sample of 35 customers. Suppose that another branch, located in a residential area, is also concerned with improving the process of serving customers in the noon-to-1 p.m. lunch period. Data are collected from a random sample of 40 customers. The obtained data from the two branches are stored. At the 5% significance level, is there evidence of a difference in the mean waiting time between the two branches? What is/are implications of the result?
Healthcare workers who use latex gloves with glove powder on a daily basis are particularly susceptible to developing a latex allergy. Symptoms of a latex allergy include conjunctivitis, hand eczema, nasal congestion, a skin rash, and shortness of breath. Each in a sample of 46 hospital employees who were diagnosed with latex allergy based on a skin-prick test reported on their exposure to latex gloves (Current Allergy & Clinical Immunology, March, 2004). Summary statistics for a number of latex gloves used per week are = 19.3 and s = 11.9. Form a 95% confidence interval for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy. Form a 90% confidence interval for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy. Please show step by step and formula used.

The paper “Effect of long-term blood pressure control on salt sensitivity” [Journal of Medicine (1997) 28:147–156] describes a study evaluating salt sensitivity (SENS) after a period of antihypertensive treatment. Ten hypertensive patients (diastolic blood pressure between 90 and 115 mmHg) were studied after at least 18 months on antihypertensive treatment. SENS readings, which were obtained before and after the patients were placed on an antihypertensive treatment, are given in the table. 'Before' 'After' 22.86 6.11 7.74 -4.02 15.49 8.04 9.97 3.29 1.44 -0.77 9.39 6.99 11.4 10.19 1.86 2.09 -6.71 11.4 6.42 10.7 a) Write the null and alternate hypotheses What test will be used to test the hypothesis and what assumptions are required? test them. Is there significant evidence that the mean SENS value decreased after the patient received antihypertensive treatment?
Kindlt assist with the question below. An epidemiologist who is working in Capricorn Department of Health investigated the occurrence ofCOVID-19 disease during winter season and found 275 COVID-19 cases out of 10,000 residents ofthe district. Based on these collected data, he would like to proof the claim that "during winter seasonthe proportion of patients with COVID-19 in Capricorn district is less than 3%". Using 5% level ofsignificance, write and test the above claim, following a) wald test
A bank with branches located in a commercial district of a city and in a residential area has the business objective of developing an improved process for serving customers during the noon-to-1 P.M. lunch period. Management decides to first study the waiting time in the current process. The waiting time is defined as the number of minutes that elapses from when the customer enters the line until he or she reaches the teller window. Data are collected from a random sample of 15 customers at each branch. Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning. In addition to equal variances, what other assumption is necessary in (a)? Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population means between commercial and residential banks.
The article “Valuing Watershed Quality Improvements Using Conjoint Analysis” (S. Farber and B. Griner, Ecological Economics, 2000:63–76) presents the results of a mail survey designed to assess opinions on the value of improvement efforts in an acid-mine degraded watershed in Western Pennsylvania. Of the 510 respondents to the survey, 347 were male. Census data show that 48% of the target population is male. Can you conclude that the survey method employed in this study tends to oversample males? Explain.
The supply management of a certain company suggested adopting the water-on-demand system in restaurants on a certain island, in order to conserve water. A restaurant owner stated that 30% of customers do not drink water, and therefore water conservation would be due not only to the water not drunk in each glass, but also to the water saved by washing the glasses. Suppose a sample of 480 restaurant patrons indicated that 128 do not drink water. Test the restaurant owner's claim at the 0.05 level of significance.
An automobile manufacturer wants to compare the lifetime of two brands of tire. She obtains a sample of five tires of each brand. On each of five cars, she mounts one tires of each brand on each from wheel. The cars are driven until only 20% of the original tread remains. The distances, in thousands of miles, for each tire are presented in the following table. Sample1=Brand A, Sample2=Brand B Car BrandA BrandB 1 36.1 42.5 2 24.1 32.8 3 39.8 38.8 4 41.2 35.5 5 28.5 29.3 Determine if the alternative hypothesis is "right", "left" or "two-tailed" to test that the mean lifetime of Brand B tires is greater than that of Brand A?
7. The manufacturer of an Engine Energizer System (EES) claims that it improves gas mileage and reduces emissions in automobiles by using magnetic-free energy to increase the amount of oxygen in the fuel for greater combustion efficiency. Following are test results, performed under international and U.S. government agency standards, on a random sample of 14 vehicles. The data (also see file M09_Gas_Paired.txt or M09_Gas_Q7.xlsx) give the carbon monoxide (CO) levels, in parts per million, of each vehicle tested, both before installation of EES and after installation. (a)Test at the 1% significance level whether, on average, EES reduces CO emissions (b)Obtain a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the mean CO emissions before and after installation of EES corresponding to the test in part (a) (c)Interpret the confidence interval obtained in part (b). Does this interval support the conclusion of the hypothesis test in part (a)? Justify your answer
A bag of candy contains 5 different types of colored candies; red, green, blue, yellow, and orange. According to the manufacturer, bags should contain an equal number of each color. Students in a statistics class decided to use a chi-square procedure to test the manufacturer’s claim. They opened a bag of candy and recorded the number of candies of each color. The results are shown in the following table. Red Green Blue Yellow Orange 17 24 20 25 14 Which color contributes most to the chi-square test statistic? Red A Green B Blue C Yellow D Orange
