An 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. The sample proportion of residents who have recently had the flu is…

Latin square designarrow_forwardA researcher in the field of educational psychology is interested in the effects an open classroom has on intellectual development. In the open classroom things are much less structured than in a traditional classroom and she believes that this might affect problem-solving skills. An elementary school in her district switched to an open classroom format last year, and she is interested to see how this has impacted on the kids problem-solving skills. She obtains a random sample of 49 fourth grade children and administers a conceptual problem-solving test to them. It is known that fourth graders in traditional classes have an average score of 82 on the test. The children in this study score an average of 86 with a standard deviation of 5. Use this information to answer the following five questions. If the critical value for this example was 2.423, what would you conclude about the study? Select one: a.

- 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?arrow_forwardThe mayor of Kingstown wants to examine if wearing a body-worn camera reduces the use of physical force among police officers. There are 1,000 full-time sworn officers in Kingstown, and 20% of arrests involves the officers using physical force. Two researchers submit research proposals to examine the effect of body-worn cameras. Dr. Specter proposes to compare the outcomes between two groups. Each group will consist of 500 police officers in Kingstown who are randomly assigned; Group A will wear a body-worn camera, and Group B will not. Dr. Ross proposes to compare the outcomes between two cities: Kingstown vs. Queenstown*. Police officers in Queenstown do not wear a body-worn camera. *The size of Queenstown is similar to Kingstown’s, but it is in a different state. Q1.

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.
