Television Viewers A researcher read that the median age for viewers of the Jimmy Fallon show is 52.7 years. To test the claim, 75 randomly selected viewers were surveyed, and 27 were under the age of 52.7. At α = 0.05, test the claim. Give one reason why an advertiser might like to know the results of this study. Use the P-value method.

A 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?
The vice-president of administration wonders whether employees are taking adequate amounts of vacation time. Employee burnout is a concern. Research suggests that an employee taking less than 1.4 weeks of vacation annually is very likely to experience burnout.
Analyze the employee vacation data and conduct a hypothesis test with the following results:
t = 2.93p = 0.0084
What reasons should the vice-president provide to the president to justify the recommendation on employee burnout?
Based on the data, is the presence of employee burnout an issue that may negatively impact the company?
Arsenic-based additives in chicken feed have been banned by the European Union. Ifa restaurant chain finds significant evidence that the mean arsenic level of theirchickens is above 80 ppb (parts per billion), the chain will stop using that supplier ofchicken meat. The hypotheses are:
H 0 : µ = 80H 1 : µ > 80
where µ represents the mean arsenic level in all chicken meat from that supplier.Samples from two different suppliers are analyzed, and the resulting p-values aregiven:
Sample from Supplier A: p-value is 0.0003Sample from Supplier B: p-value is 0.3500
a) Interpret each p-value in terms of the probability of the results happening byrandom chance.
b) Which p-value shows stronger evidence for the alternative hypothesis?
c) Which supplier, A or B, should the chain get chickens from in order to avoid toohigh a level of arsenic?

- Population Genetics In the study of population genetics, an important measure of inbreeding is the proportion of homozygous genotypesthat is, instances in which the two alleles carried at a particular site on an individuals chromosomes are both the same. For population in which blood-related individual mate, them is a higher than expected frequency of homozygous individuals. Examples of such populations include endangered or rare species, selectively bred breeds, and isolated populations. in general. the frequency of homozygous children from mating of blood-related parents is greater than that for children from unrelated parents Measured over a large number of generations, the proportion of heterozygous genotypesthat is, nonhomozygous genotypeschanges by a constant factor 1 from generation to generation. The factor 1 is a number between 0 and 1. If 1=0.75, for example then the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 25 in each generation In this case, after 10 generations, the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 94.37, since 0.7510=0.0563, or 5.63. In other words, 94.37 of the population is homozygous. For specific types of matings, the proportion of heterozygous genotypes can be related to that of previous generations and is found from an equation. For mating between siblings 1 can be determined as the largest value of for which 2=12+14. This equation comes from carefully accounting for the genotypes for the present generation the 2 term in terms of those previous two generations represented by for the parents generation and by the constant term of the grandparents generation. a Find both solutions to the quadratic equation above and identify which is 1 use a horizontal span of 1 to 1 in this exercise and the following exercise. b After 5 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous? c After 20 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous?arrow_forwardFor the T-test of the single sample, does the GPA of a group of students who were considered gifted in primary school is higher than the university's mean GPA?

The study involves 10, 000 people with genital herpes who are randomly assigned to receive Drug A or standard treatment. Results of the trial show that the duration of symptoms in patients who received Drug A is 4 days versus 4-5 days in patients who received standard symptomatic measures (p<0.5). The manufacturer of Drug A recommends the use of Drug A in the clinical treatment of genital herpes. Based on the study’s results, which of the following is the most appropriate reason to question the manufacturer’s recommendation? a) The investigators used an inappropriate study design b) It is likely that there was a Type I error c) It is likely that there was Type II error d) The observed difference is not clinically significant e) The observed difference is not statistically significant f) There was insufficient powerarrow_forwardIn a lightbulb factory, an administrator selects a random sample of bulbs produced on assembly line A and a random sample of bulbs produced on assembly line B. The administrator calculates the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs produced by each assembly line and finds that the difference between them (A - B) is 0.008. A researcher conducted a hypothesis test with the following hypotheses: H0: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is the sample as the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. HA: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is greater than the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. She found a P-value of 0.016. What is the best interpretation of this P-value? a If there is no difference in the proportions of all defective parts made on the two assembly lines, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.008 is 0.016. b If there is a difference of 0.016 in the proportions…arrow_forward
