State the null and the alternative hypotheses
An economist believes he can show that the average starting salary for electrical engineer's exceeds the average starting salaries for computer science majors. We test the hypotheses
H0: ?1−?2=0μ1−μ2=0 versus H1: ?1−?2>0μ1−μ2>0
at 1% level of significance. Here, the average starting salary of electrical engineers, and denotes the average starting salary of a computer science major. We test these hypotheses by obtaining a random sample of 500 electrical engineer's starting salaries and independently, we obtain a random sample of 500 starting salaries for computer science majors. The results of the two-samples are recorded in the table below:
Electrical Engineers
Computer Majors
Sample Size
500
500
Sample average
60000
58,500
Sample Standard Deviation
8,000
13,000
Compute the p-value.
21a. Step 1: Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses?A. H0: Cravings and relapse are not independent; and H1: Cravings and relapse are independent
B. H0: Cravings and relapse are independent; and H1: Cravings and relapse are not independent
C. H0: u1 = u2 = u3 = u4; and H1: At least one of the categories will be different than the others.
21b. Expected frequencies for: (round answers to 2 decimal places)
Cravings-Yes/Relapse-Yes fe = _______
Cravings-Yes/Relapse-No fe = ________
21c. Expected frequencies for: (round answers to 2 decimal place)
Cravings-No/Relapse-Yes fe = _________

- Vitamin E and the Risk of Prostate Cancer: Klien et al (2011) conducted the following study to determine the effect of vitamin E and selenium treatment on the risk of developing prostate cancer in healthy men. A total of 34,887 men from different study sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico were randomly selected. To be eligible to participate, the men had to take a rectal examination that showed he was not suspicious of having prostate cancer and be aged 50 years or older for black men and 55 years or older for all others. Each man was randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments: selenium, vitamin E, selenium and vitamin E together, or a placebo. The men were followed up after 8 years to see if they had developed prostate cancer or not. The main question of interest is to determine if the risk of developing prostate cancer differs by the treatment taken. The data are summarized in the table below: No Prostate Cancer Prostate Cancer Total Selenium 8,752 8,737 8,702…arrow_forwardwith my answer in screenshot 1 will you help me with the ones in screenshot 2 pleasearrow_forwardKenya is a behavioral psychologist who works with children on the Autism Spectrum.
