Sleep apnea is a condition in which the sufferers stop breathing momentarily while they are asleep. This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 12.8million out of the 312.7 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 4.1%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea. They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population’s percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.1%, a simple random sample of 392 commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 24 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.1%? Use a 0.02 level of significance.
Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.…
One way to measure a country’s economy is per capita gross domestic product, or per capita GDP. This is the value of all the products and services produced in a country over the course of a year divided by its population

They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population’s percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 3.1%, a simple random sample of 406commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 55 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 3.1%?Use a 0.05 level of significance.

- Part 1 - Estimate the mean price of regular gasoline in the Dayton area by taking a sample. What is the population you will be studying? Think carefully about how you are going to get a good sample to calculate a sample mean and collect the sample. For example, driving around your neighborhood is an example of a convenience sample and should not be done. Think of a more efficient way to collect gas prices that will also cover the whole Dayton area. Write a paragraph or two explaining how you collected your sample and why you think your sample is representative of Dayton gas prices. What is the sample mean? Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean price of gasoline in the Dayton area. Explain what this confidence interval tells you. Part 2 - Compare your sample estimate to the current mean gas price in the State of Ohio. Find the mean price of gasoline in the State of Ohio. You might try this GasBuddy website.

- show step by step and answer all questions The 102 highway has a posted speed limit of 70 miles per hour on the stretch from San Francisco to Bay Area. For a single week, the highway patrol set up a hidden radar gun to measure how many cars break the speed limit after having numerous reports of accidents on this stretch of highway. The highway patrol needs to put together an action plan if the annual proportion of vehicles who break the speed limit is over 9%. However, they could only set up the radar gun for one week. Question-The sampling method used for this situation would most likely be considered 'convenience sampling.' Find a potential fault, bais, or hidden variable in the way this sample was conducted that might skew the results. -What is the sample size,What is the proportion of vehicles who broke the speed limit over this 1 week period from Bay Area to San Francisco? -Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of vehicles who break the speed limit annually. -Is…arrow_forwardThe Census Bureau website gives several choices for "average income" in its historical income data.
