Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9–32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the
13. OxyContin The drug OxyContin (oxycodone) is used to treat pain, but it is dangerous because it is addictive and can be lethal. In clinical trials, 227 subjects were treated with OxyContin and 52 of them developed nausea (based on data from Purdue Pharma L.P.). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than 20% of OxyContin users develop nausea. Does the rate of nausea appear to be too high?

- Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year (1) Previous Year (2) 1458 1800 Occupied Rooms (X) 1470 Total Rooms (n) 1750 Formulate the hypothesis test can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period.

(All data are listed in order by row.) Law Enforcement Fatalities Listed below are numbers of law enforcement fatalities for 20 recent and consecutive years. First find the mean, identify each value as being above the mean (A) or below the mean (B), then test for randomness above and below the mean. Is there a trend?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 13–20, determine whether the data are from a discrete or continuous data set.
