A researcher is concerned that his new antihypertensive medication may be causing insomnia in some of his patients. Suppose he gathers an SRS of 65 patients treated with the study drug with a sample average of 6.6 hours of sleep and a σ=1.1. Assuming that insomnia can be quantified as an average of 4.5 hours of sleep, can we determine with 95% confidence that his drug avoids diagnosis of insomnia as a side-effect?
Suppose we take a sample of 2,500 blood donors from a population for which 50% (0.5) have type O+ blood. (a) Into what range of possible values should the sample proportion fall 95% of the time, according to the Empirical Rule? to (b) If the sample included only 625 donors instead of 2,500, would the range of possible sample proportions be wider, more narrow, or the same as with a sample of 2,500 donors? Explain your answer, and explain why it makes intuitive sense. The range would be with 625 donors compared to a sample of 2,500 donors since the standard deviation of the sampling distribution would be . This makes intuitive sense because if fewer donors are included in the sample, the proportion will be reliable as an estimate of the proportion.
A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time. A recent sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. Suppose that just a year before, a sample of 1,200 adults showed 420 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. (a) State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years. (Let p1 = population proportion most recently saying financial security more than fair and p2 = population proportion from the year before saying financial security more than fair. Enter != for ≠ as needed.) H0: p1−p2=0 Ha: p1−p2!=0 (b) Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value. At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? Find the value of the test statistic. (Use p1 − p2. Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the p-value.…

For question #2, identify the null hypothesis (Ho) from choices given. For question #3 give just your calculated z-value that you are going to use to make a decision on the null hypothesis. For question #4, answer True or False as to whether the null hypothesis is rejected.
While continuing to keep abreast of local trends in education, a school administrator read an article that reported only 42% of high school students study on a regular basis. He claims that this percentage is too low for his district. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the given scenario.
a) Genenesis Dispensary is contemplating of opening a new branch in Mwanza. If the medical for medical service is favourable, Genesis could realize a net profit of Tsh.100 million. On the other hand, if the market turn out to be unfavourable, it can end up losing Tsh. 40 million. Of course, Genesis may opt not to persue this option of expanding its operations. In the absence of data from which to base its decision, te best guess for Gensis is equally likely that the dispensary will either be successful or unsuccessful Required: i) Use the decison tree approach, what decison should Genesis Dispensary take b) Market research firm named, Easy Market Access approach Genesis with an offer to undertake a study of Mwanza medical service market at a fee of Tsh. 5 million. Easy Market Access claims that their experience enables them to use Bayes’ Theoremn to make the following statements about different state of the market: ▪ Provide that the study is favourable, the probability of favourable…
A hospital claims that the mean wait time for emergency room patients is more than 38 minutes. Identify the null hypothesis Ho, and the alternate hypothesis Ha in terms of the parameter
The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.7 auto accidents per day with a variance of 0.0036. The actuaries of the company claim that the variance of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.0036. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test. H0 : __? H1 : __?
Mario loves to listen to music and is convinced that listening to music while taking a test helps him get higher test averages. To prove this, Mario conducts a study amongst his classmates in his AMDM class. With the permission of his teacher, he randomly selects 15 out of 30 students in his class to listen to music during their next test. The remaining 15 students are not allowed to listen to music while they take their test. He intends to compare the test scores from each group, hoping to prove his hypothesis that listening to music while taking a test increases test scores. What is the variable of interest in this study? test grades the class Mario survey
Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? 3. What is the Null Hypothesis? a)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) b)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) c)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) d)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)
QUESTION 19 To study whether the students at a university are more or less satisfied with the current food service compared to the previous food service, a sample of 90 current students is taken and finds that 37 are satisfied with the current food service. A similar survey was taken for the previous food service in which 89 students surveyed found that 40 were satisfied with the previous food service. When testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance) a higher percentage of students were satisfied with the previous food service than with the current food service, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
