Effectiveness of New Drug. To test the effectiveness of a new drug, a researcher gives one group of individuals the new drug and another group a placebo. The results of the study are shown here. At alpha=0.10, can the researcher conclude that the drug is effective? Use the P-value method. Medication Effective Not effective Drug 33 9 Placebo 13 18

- Pollution and altitude: In a random sample of 346 cars driven at low altitudes, 51 of them exceeded a standard of 11 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed. In an independent random sample of 80 cars driven at high altitudes, 20 of them exceeded the standard. Can you conclude that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard differs from the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard? Let p1 denote the proportion of low altitude vehicles exceeding the standard and p2 denote the proportion of high altitude vehicles exceeding the standard. Use the a=0.05 level of significance and p-value method with the TI-84 plus calculator.arrow_forwardThe one-tailed test of hypothesis, H0: u = 100 versus Ha: u > 100.Suppose the test statistic is z = 2.71.

A pharmaceutical company conducts a clinical trial on people with high levels of LDL cholesterol. The trial involves a random sample of n=14 persons who have high levels of LDL. Each person has their LDL level measured prior to the beginning of the drug trial. Each person is then to take a new drug that is believed to lower ones LDL levels. After a period of 4-weeks, the LDL level of each person is measured again. The difference between the initial LDL level and the LDL-level four weeks after taking the drug is then computed.−0.72,−0.78,−0.27,−0.28,−0.81,−0.61,−0.51,−0.4,−0.92,−0.55,−0.35,−0.61,−0.15,−0.55Data from the sample, are saved in the picture.Assuming the difference in the LDL-levels is Normally distributed, find a 91% confidence interval for μ, the mean difference in the LDL-level of a person after taking the drug for four weeks.

- Meteoroids. In the article “Interstellar Pelting” (Scientific American, Vol. 288, No. 5, pp. 28–30), G. Musser explained that information on extrasolar planets can be discerned from foreign material and dust found in our solar system. Studies show that 1 in every 100 meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere is actually alien matter from outside our solar system. a. Of 300 meteoroids entering the Earth’s atmosphere, how many would you expect to be alien matter from outside our solar system? Justify your answer. b. Apply the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probability that, of 300 meteoroids entering the Earth’s atmosphere, between 2 and 4, inclusive, are alien matter from outside our solar system. c. Apply the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probability that, of 300 meteoroids entering the Earth’s atmosphere, at least 1 is alien matter from outside our solar system.arrow_forwardUsing this information: Lycopene is a bright red pigment which has been shown to have powerful antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. A biological research company conducts experiments in which seeds from cherry tomatoes are exposed to a series of pulsations of ultra-violet radiation with the aim of triggering a genetic mutation to increase lycopene production. It is well established from past experiments that the lycopene content for untreated cherry tomatoes is 12.7 mg/100g. A random sample of 36 treated seeds from a population of seeds of an identical variant was selected and were planted and grown in identical conditions. The mean lycopene content of the treated seeds was determined via mass spectrometry to be 13.1 mg/100g and a standard deviation of 1.2. A histogram indicates that the distribution of the lycopene content appears to be roughly normally distributed. set of hypothesis: H0:μ>12.7 vs. HA:μ=12.7 answer the following questions in the images please (:arrow_forwardA veterinary nutritionist developed a diet for overweight dogs. The total volume of food consumed remains the same, but one-half of the dog food is replaced with a low-calorie “filler” such as canned green beans. Six overweight dogs were randomly selected from her practice and were put on this program. Their initial weights were recorded, and they were weighed again after 4 weeks. The results of the experiment are shown below. At α=0.05, can it be concluded that the dogs significantly lost weight?arrow_forward
- A car dealership claims that 25% of people that take a test-drive end up buying a car at your dealership within one month of the test-drive. You sample 300 people that took a test-drive and find that 20% of them bought a car at the dealership within one month. Test the dealership’s claim at the 0.05 alpha level. Copy and Paste information from the ESP4 sheet, including the p-value. State the hypothesis that you are checking. Summarize your results.
