Complete Hypothesis Test. In Exercises 15–22, carry out the following steps.
- a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
- b. Assuming independence between the two variables, find the expected frequency for each cell of the table.
- c. Find the value of the χ2 statistic.
- d. Use the given significance level to find the χ2 critical value.
- e. Using the given significance level, complete the test of the claim that the two variables are independent. State the conclusion that addresses the original claim.
18. Is the Vaccine Effective? In a USA Today article about an experimental vaccine for children, the following statement appeared: “In a trial involving 1602 children, only 14 (1%) of the 1070 who received the vaccine developed the flu, compared with 95 (18%) of the 532 who got a placebo.” The data are shown in the table below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for independence between the variable representing treatment (vaccine or placebo) and the variable representing flu (developed flu, did not develop flu). Does the vaccine appear to be effective?

- A researcher selects a sample and administers a treatment for anxiety to the individuals in the sample. If the sample is used for a hypothesis test, what does the null hypothesis (Ho) put forth about the treatment? O The treatment has an effect on anxiety. O The treatment divides each anxiety score by a constant. O The treatment multiplies each anxiety score by a constant. The treatment has no effect on anxiety.arrow_forward1.
