The team is given the task of surveying the area, andproviding a brief examination of participants to correctly identify cases of periodontal diseaseand estimate an overall prevalence. If the team identifies an overall prevalence of above 25%, thesponsoring organization is to initiate an active campaign promoting healthy dental practice. Outof 2,879 participants surveyed, 589 were identified to have periodontal disease. A) Conduct a formal test for detecting if the prevalence of periodontal disease in the sample issignificantly different from the minimum prevalence for intervention. Use an alpha level of 0.01.B) Interpret your conclusions.arrow_forwardReports show that 92% of online searches in March 2021 use Google as the search engine. A network administrator wants to determine whether the percentage of searches that use Google is different in their company. They sample 800 searches and find that 758 of them use Google. Can they conclude that the percentage of searches that use Google in this company differs from 92%? Use the a = 0.05 level of significance.arrow_forward
- Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and also one of the most important. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium for adults is 800 milligrams (mg). A random sample of 18 people with incomes below the poverty level gives the following daily calcium intakes: 686, 433, 743, 647, 734, 641, 993, 620, 574, 634, 850, 858, 992, 775, 1113, 672, 879, 609 At the 1% significance level, do the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean calcium intake of all people with income levels below the poverty level is less than the RDA of 800 mg?

Finish up the ANOVA test with your interpretation in terms of the research question (you do not need to perform the test, just provide interpretation based the information available). Your interpretation: Given MSerror= 41, conduct the Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test to determine which groups differed significantly from one another.

Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. A government set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). The cadmium levels in a random sample of one species of edible mushroom are in the accompanying data set. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean cadmium level in this species of mushroom is greater than the government's recommended limit of 0.5ppm? Assume that the population standard deviation of cadmium levels in this species of mushroom is 0.45 ppm. Preliminary data analyses indicate that applying the z-test is reasonable.

- A random survey of enrollment at 10 community colleges across the United States yielded the following figures: 2523; 1707; 5420; 2835; 1129; 5452; 2360; 1448; 2958; and 4110. What is the 99% Error Bound (EBM) of the population mean?arrow_forwardIn a study examining the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and academic achievement among high school students, the researchers collected data on 500 students from varying SES backgrounds. The SES was categorized into low, medium, and high. The academic achievement was measured using GPA scores. The following descriptive statistics were obtained: Mean GPA for low SES students: 2.8 Standard deviation of GPA for low SES students: 0.5 Mean GPA for medium SES students: 3.5 Standard deviation of GPA for medium SES students: 0.3 Mean GPA for high SES students: 4.0 Standard deviation of GPA for high SES students: 0.2 a) Calculate the coefficient of variation for each SES group and interpret the results.arrow_forwardA bank wonders if omitting the annual fee for customers who charge at least $4000 per year would increase the amount of credit card usage (i. e. the total amount charged in a year). The bank makes this offer to a random sample of customers that have spent at least $4000. It then compares how much these customers charged this year with how much they charged last year. This data is found on sheet "CC Fees." Is there evidence at a 5% significance level to state that the mean amount increases when the "no-fee" offer was given?arrow_forward
- The FBI compiles information on robbery and property crimes by type and selected characteristic and publishes its findings in Uniform Crime Reports. According to that document, the mean value lost to purse snatching was $468 in 2012. For last year, 12 randomly selected purse-snatching offenses yielded the values lost, to the nearest dollar.405, 519, 529, 477, 315, 572, 434, 455, 375, 341, 288, 503 You are conducting a hypothesis test at .06 level of significance. You have computed a p-value of .026. Based on this, what conclusion do you draw about the null hypothesis? Explain.arrow_forward10. In a study conducted to determine the role that sleep disorders play in academic performance, researcher Jane Gaultney conducted a survey of 503 randomly selected students with a known sleep disorder (such as narcolepsy, insomnia, or restless leg syndrome) and found their mean GPA was 2.65 with a standard deviation of 0.87. Similarly, she randomly selected 1342 students with no known sleep disorders, and found their mean GPA to be 2.82 with a standard deviation of 0.83. You may assume that both population GPA's are normally distributed. Use a significance level of 0.05 to test whether the two groups have different mean GPA's. As a follow-up, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in the mean GPA's of the two groups. What would be the type I and type II errors for this problem?arrow_forward1) A half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was 63.7 inches. Assume that the heights of today's women in their 20s are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.31 inches. If the mean height today is the same as that of a half-century ago, what percentage of all samples of 26 of today's women in their 20s have mean heights of at least 65.04 inches?arrow_forward
