According to a report issued by the CDC in 2013, 66.8 % of women 40 years of age and over had a mammogram within the last two years. An oncologist at the CDC would like to know if there has been a change in this percentage over the last two years. A random sample of 749 women (40 and older) is taken, and each is asked the date of their last mammogram.
It was found that 481 women in the sample had a mammogram in the last two years. Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05.

Last year, 36.6 % of all employees at a large company enrolled in at least one wellness class at the company's site. A survey is sent out to a sample employees at the start of the new fiscal year to see if a greater percentage is planning to take a wellness class this year. Survey responses are received from 224 employees and 99 indicate that they plan to enroll in a wellness class. Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance...
Several years ago, the mean height of women 20 years of age or older was 63.7 inches. Suppose that a random sample of 45 women who are 20 years of age or older today results in a mean height of 64.5 inches (a) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to assess whether women are taller today (b) Suppose the P value for this testis 0.02. Explain what this value represents (c) Write a conclusion for this hypothesis foot assuming...
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of women over 40 who regularly have mammograms is significantly more than 0.2. You use a significance level of α = 0.05 . H 0 : p = 0.2 H 1 : p > 0.2 You obtain a sample of size n = 601 in which there are 143 successes. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to two decimal places.) test statistic = What is...
A Gallup poll to survey the top concerns of Americans was conducted. Suppose that 387 women and 359 men were independently and randomly selected, and that 241 women and 202 men chose the state of the economy as their biggest concern. Can we conclude that the proportion of women (p1), choosing the state of the economy as their biggest concern, exceeds the proportion of men (p2)? Use a significance level of α=0.01 for the test. Step 1 of 6: State the...
1. In 1990, the mean height of women 20 years of age or older was 63.7 inches based on data obtained from the CDC. Suppose that a random sample of 45 women who are 20 years of age or older in 2015 results in a mean height of 63.9 inches with a standard deviation of 0.5 inch. Does your sample provide sufficient evidence that women today are taller than in 1990? Perform the appropriate test at the 0.05 level of...
Several years ago, the mean height of women 20 years of age or older was 63.7 inches. Suppose that a random sample of 45 women who are 20 years of age or older today results in a mean height of 63.9 inches. (a) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to assess whether women are taller today (b) Suppose the P-value for this test is 0.12. Explain what this value represents. (C) Write a conclusion for this hypothesis test assuming...
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of women over 40 who regularly have mammograms is significantly more than 0.68. You use a significance level of a = 0.002. Ho:p=0.68 H:p > 0.68 You obtain a sample of size n = 359 in which there are 253 successes. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic - What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to...
A random sample of 40 binomial trials resulted in 16 successes. Test the claim that the population proportion of successes does not equal 0.50. Use a level of significance of 0.05. (a) Can a normal distribution be used for the p̂ distribution? Explain. Yes, np and nq are both less than 5.No, np is greater than 5, but nq is less than 5. No, nq is greater than 5, but np is less than 5.Yes, np and nq are both greater...

Frequencies of Breakfasts for Men and Women French Toast Pancakes Waffles Omelets Men 82 51 92 70 Women 98 60 112 53 What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 significance level? What is the correct statistical test to use? Paired t-test Goodness-of-Fit Homogeneity Independence What are the null and alternative hypotheses? H0:H0: Breakfast ordered...
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of women over 40 who regularly have mammograms is significantly more than 0.17. You use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05.
