The reliability of two types of machines used in the same manufacturing process is to be tested. The first machine failed to operate correctly in 90 out of 300 trials while the second type failed to operate correctly in 50 out of 250 trials. Carry out a hypothesis test to check whether there is a statistically significant difference in the reliability for the two types of machines using a 0.10 level of significance. (a) Calculate the pooled estimate of the population proportion. (b) Compute the value of the test statistic

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.
A statistical test measures the experimental strength of evidence against the ____ hypothesis.
Two groups were polled about their attitudes towards capital punishment. In one group 30 out of 100 favored capital punishment, and in the other group 40 out of 80 favored capital punishment. Calculate an appropriate test value test the hypothesis that the population proportions are the same.

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

Using the p-value method, we reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is ___________than or equal to the 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 the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and 33 of those children developed polio. The other 200745 children were given a placebo, and 115 of those children developed polio. If we want to test the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the Salk vaccine, are the requirements for the hypothesis test satisfied? Explain step by step in detail ,
In a hypothesis test, assuming the conventional critical value for evaluating p-values of 0.05, a p-value greater than 0.05 indicates statistical significance. (Statement : when P value greater than 0.05 indicates statistical significance which means we should reject the Null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis) Is the mentioned above statement true or false?
