The New York Times published an article about a study in which Professor Denise Korniewicz and other John Hopkins researchers subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 240 vinyl gloves, 63% leaked viruses. Among 240 latex gloves, 7% leaked viruses. Using a 0.01 significance level, test the claim that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves.

What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?
In a controlled laboratory experiment, scientists at the University of Minnesota discovered that 25% of a certain strain of rats subjected to a 20% coffee bean diet and then force-fed a powerful cancer-causing chemical later developed cancerous tumors. Would we have reason to believe that the proportion of rats developing tumors when subjected to this diet has increased if the experiment were repeated and 16 of 48 rats developed tumors? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
An LED light bulb manufacturer claims that the average lifespan of its 60-watt LED light bulbs is 43,000 hours.A corporate watchdog group is suspicious of the company's claim and thinks that the true average lifespan of the 60-watt LED light bulbs produced by the company may be less than the advertised 43,000 hours. The group collected and tested a random sample of 240 light bulbs and found the average lifespan of the sample was 42,958 hours.Use the p-value method to test the hypothesis that the mean lifespan of this brand of 60-watt LED light bulb is less than 43,000 hours, using α=0.025α=0.025. Assume the standard deviation of the lifespan of all such light bulbs is known to be 430 hours.State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test.H0:H0: H1:H1: Determine if this test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. right-tailed two-tailed left-tailed Should the standard normal (zz) distribution or Student's (tt) distribution be used for this…
In a survey, 716 out of 1132 randomly selected adults in the United States said that they use cell phones while driving. a) Use a 0.02 significance level when testing the claim that the proportion of adults who use cell phones while driving is different than 70%. b) What does the conclusion mean?
A survey of 200 people was taken to determine whether distance from voting center was related to the likelihood of voting. Based on these results, does it appear that these two variables are related at the 10% level of significance?
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level. viii) Comparing p-value and α value, which is the correct decision to make for this hypothesis test? A. Reject H B. Fail to reject Ho C. Accept Ho D. Accept HA Enter letter corresponding to correct answer. (ix) Select the statement that most correctly interprets the result of this test: A. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. Evidence supports the claim that the proportion of complaints due to identity theft in Alaska is less than 23%. B. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. There is not…
Small-business telephone users were surveyed 6 months after access to carriers other than AT&T became available for wide-area telephone service. Of a random sample of 368 users, 92 said they were attempting to learn more about their options, as did 37 of an independent random sample of 116 users of alternative carriers. Test, at the 5% significance level against a two-sided alternative, the null hypothesis that the two population proportions are the same.
In a recent year, the SF Giants won 47 of 81 home games and they won 37 of 81 away games. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of wins for home games is greater than the proportion of wins for away games. Does there appear to be a home-field advantage?
US Universities found that 72% of people are concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the internet. If a random sample of 300 college students at a Midwestern university were taken and 228 of them were concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet, could you conclude at the 0.025 level of significance that a higher proportion of the university’s college students are concerned about Internet theft than the public at large? Report the p-value for this test. Z0.025 = 1.96
In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an internet survey was e-mailed to 5000 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. 717 surveys were returned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the return rate is less than 15%.
A computer manufacturer believes that the proportion of hardware malfunctions is different in humid climates than in dry climates. To test this claim, the manufacturer takes a random sample of 400 machines sold in Florida (humid) and 400 machines sold in Arizona (dry). The manufacturer finds that 44 of the machines in Florida and 24 of the machines in Arizona had hardware malfunctions. d. Does the evidence support the computer manufacturer's claim at the 10% significance level?
To test the fairness of law enforcement in its area, a local citizens group wanted to know whether women and men are unequally likely to get speeding tickets. 400 randomly selected adults were phoned and asked whether or not they had been cited for speeding in the last year. using the results in the following table and a 0.10 level of significance Men ticket =35, Men not ticketed= 144 women ticketed= 22, women not ticketed = 199 Compute the test statistic
