Exercise 6.28 provides data on sleep deprivation rates of Californians and Oregonians. The proportion of California residents who reported insucient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents.
a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Use Oregon as Group A and California as Group B.Find the test statistic and p-value.
b) It is possible the conclusion of the test in part (a) is incorrect. If this is the case, what type of error was made?

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardAn epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 360 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 42 have recently had the flu. The epidemiologist will recommend East Vancouver as a location for one of the vaccination programs if her sample data provide sufficient evidence to support the hypothesis that the true proportion of people who have recently had the flu is greater than 0.06. A test of hypothesis is conducted. What is the null hypothesis?A. The true proportion of residents who have recently had the flu is greater than 0.06.B. The sample proportion of residents who have recently had the flu is greater than 0.06.C. The true proportion of residents who have recently had the flu is 0.06.D.

- A school superintendent wants to know the effects of a four week anti-bullying course on high school students. The superintendent randomly selects 200 high school students and randomly assigns 100 high school students to participate in the course. She then assigns the remaining 100 high school students to not participate in the course. At the end of the course, the superintendent will observe the students' behavior in a school setting.Which of the following methods was used in this study?

Factorial design b. Randomised Block design c. Completely randomized block design d. Latin square designarrow_forward1. Observational studies suggest that moderate use of alcohol reduces heart attacks, and that red wine may have special benefits. One reason may be that red wine contains polyphenols, substances that do good things to cholesterol in the blood and so may reduce the risk of heart attacks. In an experiment, healthy men were assigned at random to drink half a bottle of either red or white wine each day for two weeks. The level of polyphenols in their blood was measured before and after the two week period. Here are the percent changes in level for the subjects in both groups.Red 3.5 8.1 7.4 4.0 0.7 4.9 8.4 7.0 5.5White 3.1 0.5 -3.8 4.1 -0.6 2.7 1.9 -5.9 0.1 a. Is there good evidence that red wine drinkers gain more polyphenols on average than white wine drinkers? b. Does this study give reason to think that it is drinking red wine, rather than some lurking variable, that causes the increase in blood polyphenols? Justify your answer.c.

- Three different assembly methods have been proposed for a new product. A completely randomized experimental design was chosen to determine which assembly method results in the greatest number of parts produced per hour, and 30 workers were randomly selected and assigned to use one of the proposed methods. The number of units produced by each worker follows. Method A B C 96 92 99 72 99 94 94 92 88 99 56 66 74 78 60 90 92 76 100 85 85 87 72 72 91 91 88 107 83 72 #1) Use these data and test to see whether the mean number of parts produced is the same with each method. Use ? = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses: A) H0: Not all the population means are equal.Ha: ?A = ?B = ?C B) H0: ?A = ?B = ?CHa: ?A ≠ ?B ≠ ?C C) H0: At least two of the population means are equal.Ha: At least two of the population means are different.

Carbon frames are much more expensive thansteel, but they are also much lighter. Could this lighter frame have a significant impact on speed? In 2010 a doc-tor in England, who commutes daily to work 27 miles roundtrip on a bicycle, ran his own randomized experi-ment to investigate. Each day for several months Dr. Groves flipped a coin todetermine whether he would ride his steel frame bicycle orhis carbon frame bicycle to work and back. He rode a totalof 30 journeys on the steel frame bike and 26 journeys onhis carbon frame bicycle, recording his total commutingtime for each day. The summary statistics are shown below:a) Why would you prefer to see the actual data beforeproceeding with inference?b) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval forthe difference in average commuting times.c) Explain in this context what “95% confidence”means.d) Based on your confidence interval, do the doctor’sdata provide evidence…arrow_forwardA virologist is interested in studying the effects of 2 preselected different culture media and 2 preselected different times on the growth of a particular virus.

- Three different washing solutions are being compared to study their effectiveness in retarding bacteria growth in five-gallon milk containers. The analysis is done in a laboratory, and only three trials can be run on any day. Because days could represent a potential source of variability, the experimenter decides to use a randomized block design. Observations are taken for four days, and the data are shown here. Analyze the data from this experiment (use a = 0.05) and draw conclusions Days Solution 1 2 3 4 1 13 22 18 39 2 16 24 17 44 3 5 4 1 22arrow_forwardIn the search for a cure for the Coronavirus, it is important to determine what proportion of the population has antibodies, which would likely make them immune or less susceptible to the effects of the disease. According to an article in Politico published on April 26, 2022, 60% of Americans currently have detectible antibodies for Covid-19. A researcher thinks that more than 60% of Americans currently have antibodies for Covid-19. Suppose that the researcher takes a simple randomsample of 1200 Americans, tests their blood, and find that 750 of them have antibodies. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the researcher’s claim.arrow_forwardA local school board believes there is a difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 38 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. Let ps= the true proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week early and pw= the true proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier.
