In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, monkeys were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 128 of 695 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 85 of 576 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that...
A paper described a survey of 497 undergraduate students at a state university in the southwestern region of the United States. Each student in the sample was classified according to class standing (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior) and body art category (body piercings only, tattoos only both tattoos and body piercings, no body art). Use the data in the accompanying table to determine if there is evidence that there is an association between class standing and response to the body...
In a study of high-achieving high school graduates, the authors of a report surveyed 834 high school graduates who were considered "academic superstars" and 434 graduates who were considered "solid performers." One question on the survey asked the distance from their home to the college they attended. Assuming it is reasonable to regard these two samples as random samples of academic superstars and solid performers nationwide, use the accompanying data to determine if it is reasonable to conclude that the...
In order to conduct a hypothesis test for the population mean, a random sample of 28 observations is drawn from a normally distributed population. The resulting sample mean and sample standard deviation are calculated as 17.9 and 1.5, respectively. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table). HO: MS 17.5 against HA: > 17.5 a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and...

The P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject He when the level of significance is (a) a = 0.01, (b) a = 0.05, and (C) a = 0.10. P = 0.0695 (a) Do you reject or fail to reject He at the 0.01 level of significance? O A. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.0695, is greater than a = 0.01. O B. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.0695,...

Sample data follow. 6 to 6.9 7 to 7.9 of age. Ha: Hours of sleep per night is not mutually exclusive from age. Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) What Is the p-value? (Round your answer to...
Each person in a large sample of German adolescents was asked to indicate which of 50 popular movies they had seen in the past year. Based on the response, the amount of time (in minutes) of alcohol use contained in the movies the person had watched was estimated. Each person was then classified into one of four groups based on the amount of movie alcohol exposure (groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, with 1 being the lowest exposure and 4...

The table shows the results for the number of bacteria per cubic foot for both types of rooms Carpeted 6.4 7.4 9.5 8.2 15.9 12.6 13.2 11.6 Full data set Uncarpeted 6.2 4.2 8.1 12.9 4.5 11.9 11.1 4.4 Determine whether carpeted rooms have more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms at the a = 0.01 level of significance. Normal probability plots indicate that the data are approximately...
A hypothesis test is conducted to test the null hypothesis that the mean is less than 12. Use a 0.01 level of significance. What type of test is this? Right tail Two tail Left tail What is the critical value? 2.33 -2.33 1.78 correct answer is not given Suppose the test statistic was -2.50 What is the conclusion? Fail to reject Ho. There is not sufficent evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than 12. Reject Ho....
