In a recent national poll, 30% of adults said they wanted to "cut down or be free of gluten.” A researcher wonders if a smaller proportion of students at her university would respond in the same fashion. Suppose the researcher conducts a survey of a random sample of 50 students at her university and 13 (or 26%) of them say they want to reduce or be free of gluten.
A statistician carries out a significance test of the null hypothesis that the proportion wanting to reduce gluten at the university is the same as for all adults (i.e. the same as the general population) versus the alternative hypothesis that a smaller proportion of students would say they want to reduce or be free of gluten.
What is the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis test?
The test statistic is less than -1.0. |
|
The test statistic is between -1.0 and -0.75. |
|
The test statistic is between -0.75 and -0.50. |
|
The test statistic is between -0.5 and -0.25. |
|
The test statistic is between -0.25 and 0. |
Here claim is that a smaller proportion of students would say they want to reduce or be free of gluten.
So hypothesis here is
vs
And
Hence test statistics is
So answer here is
The test statistic is between -0.75 and -0.50. |

1. According to a recent report, 38% of adults wait until they are 30 years of age or older to get married for the first time. A researcher believes this claimed value is too low. He gathers data in order to test the hypotheses Ho: p = 0.38 vs. Ha: p > 0.38. In these hypotheses, what does p represent? A. The p-value B. The sample proportion C. The population proportion D. The sample mean E. The population mean 2....
1. You own a small storefront retail business and are interested in determining the average amount of money a typical customer spends per visit to your store. You take a random sample over the course of a month for 8 customers and find that the average dollar amount spent per transaction per customer is $106.745 with a standard deviation of $13.7164. Create a 95% confidence interval for the true average spent on all customers per transaction. Question 1 options: 1)...
1. In an August 2012 Gallup survey of 1,012 randomly selected U.S. adults (age 18 and over), 53% said that they were dissatisfied with the quality of education students receive in kindergarten through grade 12. The bootstrap distribution (based on 5,000 samples) is provided. a). Would it be appropriate to use the normal distribution to construct the confidence interval in this situation? Explain briefly. b). The standard error from the bootstrap distribution is SE = 0.016. Use the normal distribution...
Question 9 (1 point) The owner of a golf course wants to determine if his golf course is more difficult than the one his friend owns. He has 10 golfers play a round of 18 holes on his golf course and records their scores. Later that week, he has the same 10 golfers play a round of golf on his friend's course and records their scores again. The average! difference in the scores (treated as the scores on his course...
(1 point) Based on information from Diagnostic Tests with Nursing Implications, Springhouse Corporation, for the population of healthy female adults, the mean red blood cell count (RBC) is 4.8 (millions of cells per cubic millimeter of whole blood). A researcher thinks the RBC is underestimated, so she conducts a test of significance using Null Hypothesis: u s 4.8 vs. Alternative Hypothesis: ? > 4.8. If the true mean RBC is 4.75 and the null hypothesis is rejected, what has occurred?...
Research question: In the population of all American adults, how strong is the relationship between age and reaction time? Data were collected from a representative sample of 500 American adults concerning their ages (in years) and reaction times (in milliseconds). What procedure should be used to estimate the strength of this relationship in the population? CI for single mean CI for single proportion CI for difference in means CI for difference in proportions CI for correlation 2Research question: To what...

We reject the null hypothesis only when: a. our sample mean is larger than the population mean. b. the p value associated with our test statistic is greater than the significance level of the test we have chosen. c. our sample mean is smaller than the population mean. d. the p value associated with our test statistic is smaller than the significance level of the test we have chosen. 2. In a study of simulated juror decision making, researchers...
For the preparation and standardization of NaOH with KHP im supposed to boil water for 1hr and 30 min to remove CO2....the problem is that if I don't boil it for that long and (30 min) b/c of not enough time but I put the water I boiled for 1/2 hr aproximately into a NaOH bottle with a CO2 absorber and stored it there for a few days. I would assume that I would have to boil the water again...but...
