Utilize the 7 step method. (Or the 5 step method) A local college recently made the news by offering foreign language-speaking dorms to its students. When questioned at another school, 50 randomly-selected students from each class responded as shown. Test to see if the proportion of students favoring foreign language-speaking dorms is the same for each class at α = 0.05.

In a public opinion survey, 60 out of a sample of 100 high-income voters and 40 out of a sample of 75 low-income voters supported a decrease in value-added tax, VAT. Conclude at the 5% level of significance that the population of voters favouring a VAT decrease differs between high- and low-income voters. (Where p1 is the proportion of all high-income voters who supported a decrease in VAT; p2 is the same for the low-income voters). The rejection region to test the above hypothesis at the 5% significance level (rounded off to two decimals) is: A. T < -1.96 B. T < -1.64 or Z > 1.64 C. Z < -1.96 or Z > 1.96 D. Z < -1.64 E. None of the preceding

The germination rate of seeds is defined as the proportion of seeds that, when properly planted and watered, sprout and grow. A certain variety of grass seed usually has a germination rate of 0.80, and a company wants to see if spraying the seeds with a chemical that is known to change germination rates in other species will change the germination rate of this grass species. (a) Suppose the company plans to spray a random sample of 400 seeds and conduct a two-sided test of 0: 0.8Hpusing = 0.05. They determine that the power of this test against the alternative 0.75pis 0.69. Interpret the power of this test.(b) Describe two ways the company can increase the power of the test. What is a disadvantage of each of these ways? (c) The company researchers spray 400 seeds with the chemical and 307 of the seeds germinate. This produces a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of seeds that germinate of (0.726, 0.809). Use this confidence interval to determine whether the test described in…

An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 8.2 percent of adults in a country suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, six of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country. p' = Calculate ?x. Find the p-value.
A recent clinical trial compares the use of Drug A to the standard treatment of symptomatic genital herpes. The study involves 10, 000 people with genital herpes who are randomly assigned to receive Drug A or standard treatment. Results of the trial show that the duration of symptoms in patients who received Drug A is 4 days versus 4-5 days in patients who received standard symptomatic measures (p<0.5). The manufacturer of Drug A recommends the use of Drug A in the clinical treatment of genital herpes. Based on the study’s results, which of the following is the most appropriate reason to question the manufacturer’s recommendation? a) The investigators used an inappropriate study design b) It is likely that there was a Type I error c) It is likely that there was Type II error d) The observed difference is not clinically significant e) The observed difference is not statistically significant f) There was insufficient power
In a clinical study, a random sample of 540 participants agree to have their blood drawn, which is to be examined for the presence of antibodies against a certain contagious disease. It is found in 22% of the blood samples, which experimenters hope to extrapolate to the general population. From this random sample, 10 participants' blood samples are selected at random. If X is the number of samples out of the 10 who have these antibodies, what can we say about X? A. The sample size is not large enough for us to approximate X using a normal distribution B.The expected value of X is 22 C. X can be approximated using a normal distribution in lieu of a binomial distribution D. X has a sampling distribution that is normal
A foreign car manufacturer advertises that its newest model, the Bullet, rarely stops at gas stations. In fact, they claimed that its EPA rating for highway driving is at least 32.5 mpg. However, the results of a recent independent study determined the mpg for 50 identical models of the Bullet, with these results: n = 50, x= 30.4 mpg, and s = 5.3 mpg.This report failed to offer any conclusion, and you have been asked to interpret these results by someone who has always felt that the 32.5 figure is too high. What would be your conclusion using a significance level of 5%?Z = 1.645
