The drug Lipitor is meant to reduce cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. In clinical trials, 19 out of 863 patients taking 10 mg of Lipitor daily complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 1.9% patients taking competing drugs complain of flulike symptoms. (a) Determine the sample proportion of patients taking 10 mg of Lipitor daily complained of flulike symptoms. (b) Suppose that we want to know whether the evidence suggests more than 1.9% of Lipitor users experience flu-like symptoms as a side effect. Write down the null and alternative hypotheses. (c) Check whether the conditions for hypothesis testing using the P-value approach are met. (d) Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test, and draw a normal curve with area representing the P-value shaded. (e) Interpret the P-value.

In the nation of Gondor, the EPA requires that half the new cars sold will meet a certain particulate emission standard a year later. A sample of 64 one-year-old cars revealed that only 20 met the particulate emission standard. What is the test statistic to see whether the proportion is below the requirement?
A major credit card company is interested in the proportion of individuals who use a competitor’s credit card. Their null hypothesis is H0: p=0.65H0: p=0.65, and based on a sample they find a sample proportion of 0.70 and a pp-value of 0.053. Is there convincing statistical evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the true proportion of individuals who use the competitor’s card is actually greater than 0.65 ? Yes, because the sample proportion 0.70 is greater than the hypothesized proportion 0.65. A Yes, because the pp-value 0.053 is greater than the significance level 0.05. B No, because the sample proportion 0.70 is greater than the hypothesized proportion 0.65. C No, since the sample proportion 0.70 is exactly 0.05 away from the hypothesized proportion 0.65. D No, because the pp-value 0.053 is greater than the significance level 0.05.
It turns out that the survey study at the U of M sampled students from a single student residence hall. Explain why sampling students from a single residence hall would have an impact on the external validity of the study.
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?

A consumer advocacy group wanted to study whether different airline carriers differed in terms of their delayed flights. In particular, the researchers were interested in the relationship between p1, the proportion of Alpha Airlines flights that were delayed at least 15 minutes, and p2, the proportion of Beta Airlines flights that were delayed at least 15 minutes. A random sample of 1,000 Alpha flights and a separate random sample of 1,000 Beta flights found that 67 of the Alpha fights and 160 of the Beta flights were delayed at least 15 minutes. The conditions for inference were checked and verified. Does this set of samples provide strong evidence that Alpha Airlines has a smaller proportion of flights that are delayed at least 15 minutes than Beta Airlines, at the α = 0.05 significance level? Find the z-table here. A. The test statistic is z = –6.56 and the P-value ≈ 0. Since the P-value ≈ 0 < 0.05, there is not sufficient evidence that Alpha Airlines has fewer delayed…
A researcher is comparing the occurrence of nausea as a side-effect in two brands of medication: Brand A and Brand B. For a random sample of 150 Brand A users, 66 experienced nausea as a side-effect. For a random sample of 200 Brand B users, 118 experienced nausea as a side-effect. Can the researcher conclude that the proportion of all Brand A users who experience nausea as a side-effect is different from the proportion of all Brand B users who experience nausea as a side-effect. For the hypothesis testing scenario above, the researcher concludes that the two proportions are different at the 0.01 significance level. Compute the 99% confidence interval to estimate the difference.
In a clinical trial, 17 out of 900 patients taking a prescription drug complaint of flu like symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 1.3% of the patients taking competing drugs complain of flu like symptoms. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 1.3% of the drugs user experience food like symptoms as a side effect at the 0.01 level of significance? what are the normal and alternative hypothesis?
Two types of flares are tested and their burning times (in minutes) are recorded. Summary statistics are given below.Brand Xn=35x = 19.4 mins = 1.4 min Brand Yn=40x = 15.1 mins = 0.8 min Use a 0.08 significance level to test the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean. Use the traditional method or the P Value method of hypothesis testing.
Landolt et al. (A-26) examined rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in mothers and fathers. Parents were interviewed 5 to 6 weeks after an accident or a new diagnosis of cancer or diabetes mellitus type I for their child. Twenty-eight of the 175 fathers interviewed and 43 of the 180 mothers interviewed met the criteria for current PTSD. Is there sufficient evidence for us to conclude that fathers are less likely to develop PTSD than mothers when a child is traumatized by an accident, cancer diagnosis, or diabetes diagnosis? Let alpha = 0.05
If a researcher rejects the null hypothesis when conducting a hypothesis test, it means that the sample data failed to provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the treatment had an effect. true or false
