8.4.1 What conditions are necessary in order to use the z-test to test the difference between...
When the necessary conditions are met, a two-tailed test is being conducted to test the difference between two population proportions. The two sample proportions are p1hat=0.052 and p2hat=0.023 and the standard error of the sampling distribution of p1-p2 is 0.0085. The calculated value of the test statistic will be z = 3.41. A. True B. False
14. Use the following information to complete steps (a) through (d) below. A random sample of n = 135 individuals results in x1 = 40 successes. An independent sample of n2 = 140 individuals results in X2 = 60 successes. Does this represent sufficient evidence to conclude that p1 <P2 at the a=0.05 level of significance? (a) What type of test should be used? O A. A hypothesis test regarding the difference between two population proportions from independent samples. OB....
Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions p1- P2. Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. X1 = 19, n1 = 46 and x2 = 25, n2 = 57; Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between population proportions P1 - P2. A) 0.252 < P1 - P2 < 0.574 OB) 0.221 < P1 - P2 < 0.605 C) 0.605 < P1 - P2 < 0.221 OD) -0.187 <...
A student wants to determine if there is a difference in the pricing between two stores for health and beauty supplies. She recorded prices from both stores for each of 10 different products. Assuming that the conditions for conducting the test are satisfied, determine if there is a price difference between the two stores. Use the 0.1 level of significance. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. A 5.94 B 7.48 C 3.75 D 1.72 E 1.77 F 2.81 G H...
11. Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions. Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. A marketing survey involves product recognition in New York and California. Of 558 New Yorkers surveyed, 193 knew the product while 196 out of 614 Californians knew the product. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions. 12. Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions. Assume...
#3 A group conducted a randomized experiment to see if hormone therapy was helpful for post-menopausal women The women were randomly assigned to receive a hormone or a placebo After 5 years, 119 of the 8589 on the hormone therapy developed cancer and 83 of the 8437 in the placebo group developed cancerIs this a significant difference? Complete parts a through c below a. State the assumptions and the hypotheses What assumptions about the two samples are necessary to be...
16. A student wants to determine if there is a difference in the pricing between two stores for health and beauty supplies. She recorded prices from both stores for each of 10 different products.

01) 04) Answer option: Since the P-Value is (greater. Less) than the significance level (fail to reject. Reject) the null hypothesis. There (is not. Is) sufficient evidence to support the claim of a difference in measurements between the two arms. Determine whether the samples are independent or dependent. A data set included the daily number of words spoken by 60 randomly selected women and 60 randomly selected men. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The samples are dependent because...
Hypothesis test for the difference of population means: Z test A study conducted by the research department of a pharmaceutical company claims that the annual spending (per person) for prescription drugs for allergy relief, is greater than or equal to the annual spending (per person) for non-prescription allergy relief medicine, Hly. A health insurance company conducted an independent study and collected data from a random sample of 285 individuals for prescription allergy relief medicine. The sample mean is found to...
