- In a study of 135 women, roughly half took estrogen as well as calcium and vitamin D supplements and received regular checkups. The remaining women received the supplements and the checkups but substituted a sugar pill for the estrogen. Those who received the estrogen had an average 3.6 percent gain in bone density compared to a 0.2 percent bone density improvement in those taking the sugar pill.

Because of the severity of the storm and the type of residential construction used in this semitropical area, there was some concern that the average claim size would be greater than the historical average hurricane claim of $23,000$23,000. Several insurance companies collaborated in a data gathering experiment. They randomly selected 2222 homes and sent adjusters to settle the claims. In the sample of 2222 homes, the average claim was $24,500$24,500 with a population standard deviation of $4100$4100. Is there sufficient evidence at a 0.010.01 significance level to support the claim that the home damage is greater than the historical average? Assume the population of insurance claims is approximately normally distributed. Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward
- A researcher designs a study that assesses the extent of alcohol abuse among college students. A large public university campus, which has an undergraduate population of approximately 10,000 students, is chosen. Advertisements for the study are placed on campus , and 58 students (36 men, 20 women) volunteer for the anonymous study. Eighty percent of the responses are from college freshmen. The students complete an anonymous questionnaire about their drinking habits, such as amount and frequency of alcohol use. Students also are asked about their grades and academic majors. These results are combined to yield general statistics about alcohol abuse among all college students. Which of the following types of bias is present in this study design? a. Bias due to confoundingb. Bias in selection of participantsc. Bias in classification of interventionsd. Bias in outcome measurementsarrow_forwardInternet Doctors: Hypothesis Test Use the survey results given in Exercise 1 and use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the majority of adults learn about medical symptoms more often from the Internet than from their doctor.arrow_forwardHurricane Andrew swept through southern Florida causing billions of dollars of damage.

Several insurance companies collaborated in a data gathering experiment. They randomly selected 24 homes and sent adjusters to settle the claims. In the sample of 24 homes, the average claim was $28,500 with a population standard deviation of $5200.

A marketing director at a local car dealership would like to know if their sales of EV's is any greater than what the state's sales proportions are. To examine this, they look over the last 500 sales (which they consider to be a representative sample of all car sales) and determine that 10.4% of those were EV sales. Is this statistically significant evidence that the dealership sells a higher proportion of EV's than the overall state's proportion?
