Testing Claims Using P-values In Exercises 33-38, a) write the claim mathematically and identify H, and H b) find the standardized test statistic z and its corresponding area. If convenient, use technology. c) find the P-value. If convenient, use technology. d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. 3. Mathematics Assessment Tests In Illinois, a random sample of 85 eighth grade students has a mean score of 282 with a standard deviation of 35 on a national mathematics assessment test. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on the examination is more than 275. At a = support the administrator's claim?

Does Aspirin Prevent Heart Disease? In a trial designed to test the effectiveness of aspirin in preventing heart disease, 11,037 male physicians were treated with aspirin and 11,034 male physicians were given placebos. Among the subjects in the aspirin treatment group, 139 experienced myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). Among the subjects given placebos, 239 experienced myocardial infarctions (based on data from “Final Report on the Aspirin Component of the Ongoing Physicians’ Health Study,” New England Journal of Medicine , Vol. 321: 129–135). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that aspirin has no effect on myocardial infarctions. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b.…
Conduct a t-test at the .01 level. Find the correct decision about the null hypothesis. (A) Because the t-statistic exceeds the critical values, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. (B) Because the t-statistic exceeds the critical values, we reject the null hypothesis. (C) Because the t-statistic does not exceed the critical values, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. (D) Because the t-statistic does not exceed the critical values, we reject the null hypothesis.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13–24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Lead in Medicine Listed below are the lead concentrations (in μ g/g) measured in different Ayurveda medicines. Ayurveda is a traditional medical system commonly used in India. The lead concentrations listed here are from medicines manufactured in the United States (based on data from “Lead, Mercury, and Arsenic in US and Indian Manufactured Ayurvedic Medicines Sold via the Internet,” by Saper et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 300, No. 8). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is…

Clinical Trials of OxyContin OxyContin (oxycodone) is a drug used to treat pain, but it is well known for its addictiveness and danger. In a clinical trial, among subjects treated with OxyContin, 52 developed nausea and 175 did not develop nausea. Among other subjects given placebos, 5 developed nausea and 40 did not develop nausea (based on data from Purdue Pharma L.P.). Use a 0.05 significance level to test for a difference between the rates of nausea for those treated with OxyContin and those given a placebo. a. Use a hypothesis test. b. Use an appropriate confidence interval. c. Does nausea appear to be an adverse reaction resulting from OxyContin?
Identify the claim and state Ho and H Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, and whether to use a z-test, a t-test, or a chi-square test. Explain your reasoning. Find the critical value(s), identify the rejection region(s), and find the appropriate standardized test statistic. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. A tourist agency in Nevada claims the mean daily cost of meals and lodging for two adults traveling in the state is more than $300. You work for a consumer protection advocate and want to test this claim. In a random sample 35 pairs of adults traveling in Nevada, the mean daily cost of meals and lodging is $316. Assume the population standard deviation is $30. At α = 0.10, do you have enough evidence to support the agency’s claim?
