Answer Problem 10.4 if compliance is as given in Example 10.37.
Consider the Physicians’ Health Study data presented in Example 10.37 (p. 411).
10.4 Suppose 11,000 men are actually enrolled in each treatment group. What would be the power of such a study if a two-sided test with α = .05 were used and compliance is perfect?

Question 17: A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 90% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 81% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is smaller than 90% at the 0.05 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be:
H0:p≤0.9H0:p≤0.9H1:p>0.9H1:p>0.9
H0:μ≤0.9H0:μ≤0.9H1:μ>0.9H1:μ>0.9

The test is:
two-tailed
right-tailed

The test statistic is: (to 3 decimals)The p-value is: (to 4 decimals)Based on this we:
Fail to reject the null hypothesis
Reject the null hypothesis

- Question 1) Consider the following context: The nutrition and food science division of Farnsworth Pharmaceuticals is alpha testing an OTC diagnostic kit so that adults who self-report a certain food allergy can affirm their insensitivity to that food allergen. Preliminary clinical trials yielded that 25% of the volunteers who suspected they had food allergies were clinically identified as sensitive or intolerant to the food allergen; unfortunately and disappointingly, only 10% of those who tested positive in the clinic also tested positive with the kit. Furthermore, of those self-reporting adult volunteers who had a negative clinic outcome, 5% tested positive anyway with the kit. How many complete branches, from start to finish, would a tree diagram that models this context include?

To test this claim, you survey 80 adults over the age of 25 and find only 18 possess bachelor’s degrees. At the 5% level of significance, is there enough evidence to SUPPORT the challenger’s claim? Complete the correct calculator with the values from the problem. 6.) Compare the p-value with the level of significance. Is the p-value less than or greater than alpha? 7.) Based on your answer in #6, do we reject or fail to reject the null Ho? 8.) Based on your answer in #7, do we support or fail to support the claim? 9.) At the 5% level of significance, is there enough evidence to SUPPORT the challenger’s claim? Give a full conclusion statement.
