The mean ± 1 SD of calcium intake (in mg) among 25 females, 12-14 years of age, below the poverty level is 6.56 ± 0.64. Similarly, the mean ± 1 SD of calcium intake among 40 females, 12-14 years of age, above the poverty level is 6.80 ± 0.76. Do we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean intake of calcium among females below the poverty level is significantly lower than the calcium intake of females above the poverty level? State the null and alternative hypothesis in mathematical notationHo: Ha: What is the level of significance to be used? What is the appropriate test statistic? Why? What is the critical region?

Suppose an experiment finds that people taking a new herbal remedy get fewer colds than people taking a placebo. The results are statistically significant at the 0.01 level. Has the experiment proven that the herbal remedy works?
How many stomach cancer patients and controls would be required to estimate the difference in proportion of patients with sufficient concentrations of plasma antioxidant vitamins with a margin of error not exceeding 5% using a 95% CI? The data in table 8-2 were reported recently from a similar study investigating the sufficiency of plasma antioxidant vitmians in throat cancer patients.
Vertical banded gastroplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the volume of thestomach in order to produce weight loss. In a recent study, 82 patients with Type 2 diabetes underwent this procedure, and 59 of them experienced a recovery from diabetes. Does this study provide convincing evidence that the percentage of those with diabetes who undergo this surgery will recover from diabetes differs from 74%?

In a study of 420,148 cell phone users, 136 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.005significance level. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. 1. What is the test statistic? z= _____ (Round to two decimal places as needed.) 2. What is the P-value? P-value= _____ (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 3. What is the conclusion on the null hypothesis?…
Rosner analyzed data from children who lived near a lead smelter (which is a facility that uses extreme heat to extract the metal lead from lead ore) in El Paso, Texas, and reported that out of 124 children studied, 23 developed colic (which is a pattern of fussiness and crying for no apparent reason). Suppose that in the state of Taxes in general at the time (early 1980s), the rate of colic in children was 16.0%. Follow the steps for testing whether the proportion of children developing clico was significantly different for the 124 children living near the lead smelter than for Taxes children in general (16%).

On March 2005, a poll surveyed 535 adults aged 18 years old or older and asked “ Do you think there is life on other planets or not?. Of the 535, 326 responded yes. same question was asked on September3,2000, 385 of the 535 individuals surveyed said yes. Can you conclude that the proportion has decreased at alpha = 0.05 level of significance.
It is believed that a sweetener called xylitol helps prevent ear infections. In a randomized experiment, 165 children took a placebo and 68 of them got ear infections. Another sample of 159 children took xylitol and 46 of them got ear infections. The scientists believe that the proportion of ear infections in the placebo group will be greater than the xylitol group. Test this hypothesis at α = 0.025.

Brink studied the effect of postural change on cardiovascular reactivity for a sample of healthy white and African American men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample. Characteristics of the Study Sample (N = 842) Sample Characteristic Frequency (N) Percentage or Mean (SD) Range Gender Female Male 408 434 48.5% 51.5% Age (years) 842 55.1 (5.3) 44–67 Race/ethnicity White, not Hispanic…
According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0. a) Is the normality condition met for this test? (see picture) No, since the histograms show skewness and outliers . Yes, since both sample sizes are larger than 30. No, since both sample sizes, nY and nS, are less than 30. Yes, since it was stated that the two populations are normally distributed. b)What are the correct degrees of freedom for this test? Group of answer choices 999 1000 1712 1711 711
