A method currently used by doctors to screen women for possible breast cancer has a failure rate of 15%. That is, it fails to detect cancer in 15% of the women who are known to have the disease. A new method has been developed that researchers hope will be able to detect cancer more accurately. A random sample of 80 women known to have breast cancer were screened using the new method of these , the new method failed to...

Problem 1. The HIP trial. If breast cancer is detected early enough, chances of successful treatment are better. Do screening programs speed up detection enough to matter? This was the question asked by the first large-scale trial run by the Health Insurance Plan (HIP) of Greater New York, starting in 1963. The subjects were 62,000 women aged 40 to 64. Half were randomly assigned to a screening group (which included regular exams and X-rays) and the other half were randomly...

Nationally, patients who go to the emergency room wait an average of 6 hours to be admitted into the hospital. Do patients at rural hospitals have a higher waiting time? The 13 randomly selected patients who went to the emergency room at rural hospitals waited an average of 7.9 hours to be admitted into the hospital. The standard deviation for these 13 patients was 2.2 hours. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance level...

1. Labor statistics indicate that 77% of all U.S. cashiers and servers are women. A random sample of cashiers and servers in a particular metropolitan area found that 112 of 150 cashiers and 150 of 200 servers were women. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists between this metropolitan area and the larger U.S. population? a) What is the test statistic? Round to 2 decimal places. b) What is the p-value?...

Nationally, patients who go to the emergency room wait an average of 6 hours to be admitted into the hospital. Do patients at rural hospitals have a higher waiting time? The 11 randomly selected patients who went to the emergency room at rural hospitals waited an average of 6.6 hours to be admitted into the hospital. The standard deviation for these 11 patients was 2.6 hours. What can be concluded at the α = 0.05 level of significance? a. For...

Beview 1JA survey of 700 non-fatal accidents showed that 183 involved faulty equipment. Find a point estimate for p, the population proportion of accidents that involved faulty equipment. 2) An article a Florida newspaper reported on the topics that teenagers most want to discuss with their pare nts. The findings, the results of a poll, showed that 46% would like more discussion about the family's financial situation, 37% would like to talk about school, and 30% would like to talk...

Problem #1: (a) Suppose that we identify 169 women 50 to 54 years of age who have both a mother and a sister with a history of breast cancer. 17 of these women themselves have developed breast cancer at some time in their lives. If we assume that the proportion of breast cancer cases in women whose mothers have had breast cancer is 8%, does having a sister with the disease increase the risk? Find the p-value. (b) At the...

The Acme Drug Company develops a new drug, designed to prevent colds. The company states that the drug is more effective for women than for men. To test this claim, they choose a simple random sample of 100 women and 200 men from a population of 100,000 volunteers. At the end of the study, 38 of the women caught a cold; and 102 of the men caught a cold. Based on these findings, can we conclude that the drug is...

Women athletes at the a certain university have a long-term
graduation rate of 67%. Over the past several years, a random
sample of 36 women athletes at the school showed that 22 eventually
graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of
women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than
67%? Use a 5% level of significance.
(a) What is the level of significance?
