Two professors at a local college developed a new teaching curriculum designed to increase students' grades in math classes. In a typical developmental math course, 57% of the students complete the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. In the experimental course, of the 16 students enrolled, 12 completed the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. Is the experimental course effective at the a = 0.1 level of significance? Complete parts (a) through (g). 0.57 versus H,: p > 0.57 Ho: P (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) (b) Verify that the normal model may not be used to estimate the P-value. Because npo (1-pPo) =O 10, the normal model V be used to approximate the P-value. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

A consumer group is investigating a producer of diet meals to examine if its prepackaged meals actually contain the advertised 6 ounces of protein in each package. Based on the following data, is there any evidence that the meals do not contain the advertised amount of protein? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of
A recent poll found that 664 out of 1026 randomly selected people in a particular country felt that colleges and universities with big sports programs placed too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Assuming the conditions for the CLT are met, use the accompanying Minitab output to complete parts a and b below. N Event Sample p 95% CI for p 1026 664 0.647173 (0.617934, 0.676413) Question content area bottom b. Suppose a sports blogger wrote an article claiming that a majority of adults from this country believe that colleges and universities with big sports programs place too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Does this confidence interval support the blogger's claim? Explain your reasoning. A. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval contains 50%. B. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval does not contain only values above 50%. C. Yes, it is a…

Two professors at a local college developed a new teaching curriculum designed to increase students' grades in math classes. In a typical developmental math course, 55%of the students complete the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. In the experimental course, of the 15 students enrolled, 11 completed the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. Is the experimental course effective at the α=0.1 level of significance? Complete parts (a) through (g).
Angioplasty is a medical procedure in which an obstructed blood vessel is widened. In some cases, a wire mesh tube, called a stent, is placed in the vessel to help it remain open. The article “Long-term Outcomes of Patients Receiving Drug-eluting Stents” (A. Philpott, D. Southern, et al., Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2009:167–174) presents the results of a study comparing the effectiveness of a bare metal stent with one that that has been coated with a drug designed to prevent reblocking of the vessel. A total of 5320 patients received bare metal stents, and of these, 841 needed treatment for reblocking within a year. A total of 1120 received drug coated stents, and 134 of them required treatment within a year. a) Find a 98% confidence interval for the differences between the proportions for drug coated stents and bare metal stents. b) Suppose that additional patients are to be treated in order to increase the precision of the confidence interval. Three sampling plans are…
A heart study objective was to study heart disease among healthy volunteers.After a 10-year follow-up period involving men aged 40 to 59, there were 16 casesof coronary heart disease (CHD) among the 454 men who initially had cholesterollevels below 210 mg/100 ml (referred to as the low serum cholesterol group). Incontrast, among the 424 men whose initial cholesterol levels were at least 245mg/100 ml (referred to as the high serum cholesterol group), there were 51 cases ofCHD. With this information, Draw a 2x2 contingency table then calculate the relative risk (RR) associated with high serum cholesterol and provide an interpretation of the result.
When companies are designing a new product, one of the steps typically taken is to see how potential buyers react to a picture or prototype of the proposed product. The product-development team for a notebook computer company has shown picture A to a large sample of potential buyers and picture B to another, asking each person to indicate what they "would expect to pay" for such a product. The data resulting from the two pictures are provided in file (sheet 6). Using the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether the prototypes might not really differ in terms of the price that potential buyers would expect to pay.

. A new drug for pain relief is being tested within a given palliative care population. The new drug is being compared to an already approved pain relief drug that is commonly used in providing palliative care to patients who experience chronic severe pain. Assume the patients are asked to rate the pain on a scale from 1 to 10, and the data presented below was obtained from a small study designed to compare the effectiveness of the two drugs.

To determine whether training in a series of workshops on creative thinking increases IQ scores, a total of 70 students are randomly divided into treatment and control groups of 35 each. After two months of training, the sample mean IQ for the treatment group equals 110, and the sample mean IQ for the control group equals 108. The estimated standard error equals 1.80. Using t, test the null hypothesis at the .01 level of significance. If appropriate (because the null hypothesis has been rejected), estimate the standardized effect size, construct a 99 percent confidence interval for the true population mean difference, and interpret these estimates.
Lactation promotes a temporary loss of bone mass to provide adequate amounts of calcium for milk production. The paper “Bone Mass Is Recovered from Lactation to Postweaning in Adolescent Mothers with Low Calcium Intakes” (Amer. J. of Clinical Nutr., 2004: 1322–1326) gave the following data on total body bone mineral content (TBBMC) (g) for a sample both during lactation (L) and in the postweaning period (P).
