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.
In the general population, Democrats are estimated to have an average mental health index score of during this time period, with a 95% margin of error of . Respondents with MHI scores of 12 or higher are known to be at very high risk for mental health complications. Among Democrats, approximately percent are at very high risk for mental health complications. An MHI score above 7 is considered indicative of life conditions that are at least moderately stressful. Among Democrats, approximately percent are experiencing life conditions that are at least moderately stressful.
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven 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 American population. find the p value
Suppose we take a sample of 2,500 blood donors from a population for which 50% (0.5) have type O+ blood. (a) Into what range of possible values should the sample proportion fall 95% of the time, according to the Empirical Rule? to (b) If the sample included only 625 donors instead of 2,500, would the range of possible sample proportions be wider, more narrow, or the same as with a sample of 2,500 donors? Explain your answer, and explain why it makes intuitive sense. The range would be with 625 donors compared to a sample of 2,500 donors since the standard deviation of the sampling distribution would be . This makes intuitive sense because if fewer donors are included in the sample, the proportion will be reliable as an estimate of the proportion.
A ski lift manager is interested in the average daily number of ski lift users. In previous years, fewer than 945 people, on average, have used the ski lift daily over the winter season. The manager suspects this average has increased in recent years. If the ski lift manager chooses to use the p-value approach for his hypothesis test, what does he need to compare the p-value to?
A certain training device measures reaction times of users by illuminating lights, one at a time, and measuring the time it takes the user to press each light to turn it off. The makers of the device are marketing it for high-level training, saying that even among professional athletes, the proportion who can score the top ranking of "light speed" is less than 22% . As a fitness trainer who wants to buy the device to attract more customers, you want to feel comfortable that the claim made by the makers is correct. To test the claim, you decide to perform a hypothesis test. To do so, you rent the device and have a random sample of 130 professional athletes use it; 26 score a ranking of "light speed." You confirm that it is appropriate to perform a Z -test. Why is a Z -test appropriate? Find z , the value of the test statistic for your Z -test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places. =z
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly different from 65% at a level of significance of αα = 0.01. According to your sample, 39 out of 55 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly different from 65% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 65% The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 65% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is equal to 65%. The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 65% at αα = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 65%.

A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percentage. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 65 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a) State the null hypothesis. H0: plocal ≠ pnational H0: plocal > pnational H0: plocal = pnational H0: plocal < pnational Part (b) State the alternative hypothesis. Ha: plocal < pnational Ha: plocal = pnational Ha: plocal ≠ pnational Ha: plocal > pnational…
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 ?
while estimates vary, one website indicated that approximately 44% of US citizens have type O blood. A statistics class tested this claim by having students identify their blood types. In a sample of 64 students, 26 indicated their blood type to be type O. At a=.01, test that the percentage of US citizens with type O blood is less than 44%. The hypotheses for this situation are:
A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. What is the critical value of z if we need to conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is less than 0.25.
A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time. A recent sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. Suppose that just a year before, a sample of 1,200 adults showed 420 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. (a) State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years. (Let p1 = population proportion most recently saying financial security more than fair and p2 = population proportion from the year before saying financial security more than fair. Enter != for ≠ as needed.) H0: p1−p2=0 Ha: p1−p2!=0 (b) Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value. At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? Find the value of the test statistic. (Use p1 − p2. Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the p-value.…
