An urban community wants to show that the incidence of breast cancer is higher in their locality than in a neighboring rural area. (PCB levels were found to be higher in the soil of the urban community). If you find that in the urban community 20 out of 200 adult women have breast cancer and that in the rural community 10 out of 150 adult women have it, could you conclude, at a significance level of 0.05, that breast cancer is more prevalent in the urban community?1. The parameter of interest is:2. The hypotheses for this test are:3. The calculated test statistic is:4. The critical region is:5. Draw the critical region (make decision):6. It can be concluded that:
The average wind speed in Casper Wyoming has been found to 12.7 miles per hour and in Phoenix Arizona it is 6.2 mph. To test the relationship between the averages, the average wind speed has calculated for a sample of 31 days for each city. The results are reported below. Is there sufficient evidence at alpha = 0.05 to conclude that the average wind speed is greater in Casper or Phoenix ?

- A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will be changed if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Four subjects were pre-tested, and they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The results are shown in the table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean of cholesterol levels has been changed after six weeks at α=0.2α=0.2?

- As we have noted in previous chapters, even a very small effect can be significant if the sample is large enough. Suppose, for example, that a researcher obtains a correlation (computed from the raw data) of r = 0.60 for a sample of n = 10 participants. (4 pts. total) Is this sample sufficient to conclude that a significant correlation exists in the population? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. In your response, be sure to specify the critical value for r.arrow_forwardResearchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…arrow_forwardA researcher developed a regression model to predict the cost of a meal based on the summated rating (sum of ratings for food, decor,and service) and the cost per meal for 12 restaurants.
