The National Academy of Science reported that 35 % of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 35 % . He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 150 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 41 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson's claim that the percentage is no longer 35 % ? Use a 0.01 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho :p = 0.35 0 35

If a researcher were conducting a two-tailed/non-directional hypothesis test with an alpha of 0.10 and a sample of size n=120, what would the Zcrit value be?
The manufacturer of a spot remover claims that hisproduct removes 90 percent of all spots. If, in a random sample, only 174 of 200 spots were removed with the man-ufacturer’s product, test the null hypothesis θ = 0.90 against the alternative hypothesis θ < 0.90 at the 0.05level of significance.
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.1% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 10.5% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the 9.1% in the general adult American population. Test the relevant hypotheses using a 1% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. a. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) H0: H1: b. Based on the hypotheses, find the following: c. Test Statistic = d. p-value = e. Based on the above we choose to f. The correct summary would be:
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 8.8% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 11.3% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the 8.8% in the general adult American population.

A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence that the current government mandated shut down of society is not causing people's mental health to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if the expert says is necessary. He pulls a random sample of 1600 citizens, Gathering data on such items as income loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, our spent binge watching Netflix, and number of injuries caused by household fight, and compiles all this into a significantly-weighted "misery index". The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use a population standard deviation o=19.1. A. Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that the Nationwide mean misery index is less than 100? Set up appropriate null and alternative hypothesis, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the p-value, and state your conclusion.
An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 7.5 percent of adults in a country suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, six of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country.
A consumer magazine polls cell-phone-users to see if they are happy with their phones and would purchase the same model again. They randomly selected cell-phone-users and found the following: 429 of 550 owners of iPhones would purchase their phone again, and 324 of 450 owners of Androids would purchase the same phone again. a) Conduct a hypothesis test with an alpha-level of 0.05 to determine if there is strong evidence that owners of iPhones are happier with their purchase than owners of Androids. Be sure to give the name of the test that you are performing . b) If your conclusion was wrong, what type of error occurred, Type I or Type II ?
Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis? A) reject the null hypothesis Or B) fail to reject the null hypothesis
The number of Muslims continues to grow throughout the world, and they are currently thesecond-largest religious group in the world. Knowing that this group has been the target of falsebeliefs about their religion, a researcher is interested in whether people who have moreinteractions with Muslim people are less likely to believe negative statements about Islam. To dothis, they surveyed a large sample of participants across Western Europe and asked themquestions about how frequently they interact with Muslim people as well as how much theyagreed with negative statements about Islam. What statistical test should be used to determine ifthere if how frequently survey participants interact with Muslim people predicts how likely theyare to agree with a negative statement about Islam? Assume parametric assumptions are met. A. Is this a relationship test or a difference test? Explain your rationale. B.
A neurosurgeon believes that lesions in a particular area of the brain, called the thalamus, will decrease pain perception. If so, this could be important in the treatment of terminal illness that is accompanied by intense pain. As a first attempt to test this hypothesis, he conducts an experiment in which 16 rats are randomly divided into two groups of eight each. Animals in the experimental group receive a small lesion in the part of the thalamus thought to be involved with pain perception. Animals in the control group receive a comparable lesion in a brain area believed to be unrelated to pain. Two weeks after surgery, each animal is given a brief electrical shock to the paws. The shock is administered in an ascending series, beginning with a very low intensity level and increasing until the animal first flinches. In this manner, the pain threshold to electric shock is determined for each rat. The following data are obtained. Each score represents the current level (milli-amperes)…
A recent study at a local college claimed that the proportion, p, of students who commute more than 15 miles to school is no more than 20%. If a random sample of 275 studentsat this college is selected, and it is found that 71 commute more than 15 miles to school, can we reject the colleges claim at the 0.1 level of significance? Perform a one tailed test, and complete the parts below.
