A medical researcher claims that 5% of children have asthma.In a random sample of 100 children 7.2% say they have asthma. At α=.05, evaluate the claim by:
Identifying the claim and H0 and Ha,
Finding the appropriate standardized test statistic,
Finding the P-value or the rejection region,
Deciding whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and
Interpreting the decision in the context of the original claim.
In a recent study of a random sample of 113 people, 92 reported dreaming in color. In the 1940’s, the proportion of people who reported dreaming in color was 29%. Is there evidence to show that the proportion of people who dream in color is different than the proportion in the 1940’s? What is the decision for this hypothesis test?
A) Fail to reject Ho because the test statistic is in the rejection region and the p-value is greater than alpha.
B)Fail to reject Ho because the test statistic is not in the rejection region and the p-value is greater than alpha.
C) Reject Ho because the test statistic is in the critical region and the p-value is less than alpha.
D) Fail to reject Ho because the test statistic is in the critical region and the p-value is less than alpha.
E) Reject Ho because the test statistic is in the rejection region and the p-value is greater than alpha.
According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the United States in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .36. Suppose a random sample of 105 traffic fatalities in the state of Hawaii results in 51 that involved a positive BAC.
D) Check whether the conditions for hypothesis testing using the P-value approach are meet.

- A national publishing house claims that 45% of all weekly magazine readers in South Africa read their publication.

- Small-business telephone users were surveyed 6 months after access to carriers other than AT&T became available for wide-area telephone service. Of a random sample of 368 users, 92 said they were attempting to learn more about their options, as did 37 of an independent random sample of 116 users of alternative carriers. Test, at the 5% significance level against a two-sided alternative, the null hypothesis that the two population proportions are the same.arrow_forwardA recent report indicated that families in a certain country typically spend about $175 per week on groceries. To investigate whether families in a certain city typically spend more than $175 per week, an economist selected a random sample of 500 families in the city and found the sample mean to be $176.24. With all conditions for inference met, a hypothesis test resulted in a pp-value of 0.0021. At the significance level of α=0.05α=0.05, which of the following is a correct conclusion? The p-value is less than 0.05, and the null hypothesis is rejected. There is convincing statistical evidence that the mean is greater than $175. The p-value is less than 0.05, and the null hypothesis is not rejected. There is convincing statistical evidence that the mean is greater than $175. The p-value is less than 0.05, and the null hypothesis is not rejected. There is not convincing statistical evidence that the mean is greater than $175.

After two months of training, the sample mean IQ for the treatment group equals 110, and the sample mean IQ for the control group equals 108. The estimated standard error equals 1.80. Using t, test the null hypothesis at the .01 level of significance. If appropriate (because the null hypothesis has been rejected), estimate the standardized effect size, construct a 99 percent confidence interval for the true population mean difference, and interpret these estimates.arrow_forward
