Question
The World Health Organization keeps a record of many statistics thought to be social, economic and political indicators. One of these is the number of physicians practicing in that particular country. You are given the data from 2017 and 1990. Is there evidence to support the fact that the number of physicians is increasing over time? Please state your hypotheses and assumptions. You must validate your assumptions and then use an appropriate test. Use α =0.05

- In a certain suburb, the mean house price in 2009 was $ 225,000. A real estate agent believes that the mean house price in that suburb has increased since 2009. Please state the null and alternative hypothesis.arrow_forwardA consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to do a statistical test regarding the mean monthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. this year. The consumer group has reason to believe that the mean monthly mileage of cars rented in the U.S. this year is different from last year's mean, which was 2750 miles. The group plans to do a statistical test regarding the value of u. It chooses a random sample of monthly mileages and computes the mean of the sample to be 2900miles and the standard deviation to be 800 miles. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H,) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? Ho H is? u is ? In the context of this test, what is a Type II error? A Type II error is ? the hypothesis that u is ? when, in fact, u is ? Suppose that the group decides to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be…arrow_forwardGive an statistical principle example for a surgeonarrow_forward
- You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, it was reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3,173. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 44% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine if it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the original report. Based on previous studies, use a population standard deviation ? = $1,000. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: ? < 3,173 Ha: ? ≥ 3,173 H0: ? = 3,173 Ha: ? ≠ 3,173 H0: ? > 3,173 Ha: ? ≤ 3,173 H0: ? ≥ 3,173 Ha: ? < 3,173 H0: ? ≤ 3,173 Ha: ? > 3,173 (b) What is the test statistic for a sample of 170 undergraduate students with a sample mean credit card balance of $3,305?
