In a sample of 167 children selected randomly from one town, it is found that 37 of them suffer from asthma. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the proportion of all children in the town who suffer from asthma is 11%. An article in a journal reports that 34% of American fathers take no responsibility for child care. A researcher claims that the figure is higher for fathers in the town of Littleton. A random sample of...

Identify the null and alternative hypothesis, significance level, test that will be used, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim in nontechnical terms. In a clinical study of an allergy drug, 108 of the 202 subjects reported experiencing significant relief from their symptoms. At the 0.10 significance level, test the claim that more than half of all those using the drug experience relief.

In a sample of 88 adults selected randomly from one town, it is found that 6 of them have been exposed to a particular strain of the flu. At the 0.01 significance level, test the claim that the proportion of all adults in the town that have been exposed to this strain of the flue differs from the nationwide percentage of 8%. H0: p = 0.08 HA: p ≠ 0.08. α = 0.01 Test statistic: z = -0.41. P-Value =...
Nexium is a drug that can be used to reduce the acid produced by the body and heal damage to the esophagus due to acid reflux. The manufacturer of Nexium claims that more than 94% of patients taking Nexium are healed within 8 weeks. In clinical trials, 213 of 224 patients suffering from acid reflux disease were healed after 8 weeks. Test the manufacturer's claim at the a = 0.01 level of significance. Hypothesis Testing Ho: p=0.94 STEP 1: DETERMINE...
A genetic experiment involving peas yielded one sample of offspring consisting of 438 green peas and 173 yellow peas. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that under the same circumstances, 26% of offspring peas will be yellow. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. What are the...
In a recent poll of 745 randomly selected adults, 590 said that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that 70% of adults say that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method. Use the normal...
In a clinical study of an allergy drug, 108 of the 203 subjects reported experiencing significant relief from their symptoms. Using a significance level of 0.01, test the claim that more than half of all those using the drug experienced relief. State the null hypothesis H0. State the alternative hypothesis H1. What is the test statistic? State the alpha level. Determine p value. Do you or do you not reject the null hypothesis? Why? Write a clear conclusion using a...
A cereal company claims that the mean weight of the cereal in its packets is more than 14 oz. The weights (in oz) of the cereal in a random sample of 8 cereal packets are listed below. You may assume the sample data comes from a population that follows a normal distribution. Using a 0.05 significance level, test the companies claim. State the null hypothesis H0. State the alternative hypothesis H1. What is the test statistic? State the alpha level....
