a sample of 113 observations indicated that
X1 is 71. A second sample of 157 observations
indicated that X2 is 95. Conduct
a z-test of hypothesis about a difference in population
proportions using a 0.03 significance level.
H0:
p1 - p2 ≥ 0
H1: p1 -
p2 < 0
a)State the decision
rule.Reject H0 in favour
of H1 if the computed value of the
statistic is less than -1.88 or greater than
1.88.Reject H0 in favour
of H1 if the computed value of the
statistic is greater than
2.17.Reject H0 in favour
of H1 if the computed value of the
statistic is less than -2.17 or greater than
2.17.Reject H0 in favour
of H1 if the computed value of the
statistic is between -2.17 and
2.17.Reject H0 in favour
of H1 if the computed value of the
statistic is less than
-1.88.Reject H0 in favour
of H1 if the computed value of the
statistic is between -1.88 and 1.88.None of the above.
b) Compute the pooled proportion.
For full marks your answer should be accurate to at least four
decimal places.
Pooled proportion: 0
c) What is the value of the test
statistic?
For full marks your answer should be accurate to at least three
decimal places.
Test statistic: 0
d)What is your decision
regarding H0?There is sufficient evidence,
at the given significance level, to
reject H0, and
accept H1 or at least there is not
enough evidence to reject H1.There is
insufficient evidence, at the given significance level, to
reject H0.There is insufficient evidence to
reject or not reject the null hypothesis.

A pharmaceutical company is checking their medicines according to the regulations imposed. The company must ensure that their medicine contains exactly the amount prescribed. For a certain pill they tested they require the pill to be mg. The random sample of 26 that they took revealed that this was not the case. The mean weight of the pills in the sample was 9.02mg with a standard deviation of 5.10mg Use a 0.1 to answer the following questions a) What type...
A sample of 1000 observations taken from the first population gave x1 = 290. Another sample of 1200 observations taken from the second population gave x2 = 396. a. Find the point estimate of p1 − p2. b. Make a 98% confidence interval for p1 − p2. c. Show the rejection and nonrejection regions on the sampling distribution of pˆ1 − pˆ2 for H0: p1 = p2 versus H1: p1 < p2. Use a significance level of 1%. d. Find...
Independent random samples of size n1=38 and n2=86 observations, were selected from two populations. The samples from populations 1 and 2 produced x1=18 and x2=13 successes, respectively. Define p1 and p2 to be the proportion of successes in populations 1 and 2, respectively. We would like to test the following hypotheses: H0:p1=p2 versus H1:p1≠p2 (a)To test H0 versus H1, which inference procedure should you use? A. Two-sample z procedure B. One-sample z procedure C. One-sample t procedure D. Two-sample t...
A sample of 71 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 24, and the population standard deviation is 8. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level. H0 : μ ≤ 23 H1 : μ > 23 a. Is this a one- or two-tailed test? (Click to select) One-tailed test Two-tailed test b. What is the decision rule? (Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.) (Click to select) Reject Accept H0 and (Click to select) accept reject H1 when z > ....
Consider the following competing hypotheses and accompanying sample data. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) H0: p1 − p2 ≥ 0 HA: p1 − p2 < 0 x1 = 250 x2 = 275 n1 = 400 n2 = 400 a. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal...
The options for the final part are A.(less than/greater than) B.(Fail to reject, Reject) C.(sufficent/insufficent) A newspaper published an article about a study in which researchers subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 288 vinyl gloves, 70% leaked viruses. Among 288 latex gloves, 6% leaked viruses. See the accompanying display of the technology results. Using a 0.10 significance level, test the claim that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves. Let vinyl gloves be population 1 Click...
For one binomial experiment, n1 = 75 binomial trials produced r1 = 60 successes. For a second independent binomial experiment, n2 = 100 binomial trials produced r2 = 85 successes. At the 5% level of significance, test the claim that the probabilities of success for the two binomial experiments differ. (a) Compute the pooled probability of success for the two experiments. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) Check Requirements: What distribution does the sample test statistic follow? Explain....
A sample of size 100, taken from a population whose standard deviation is known to be 8.90, has a sample mean of 51.16. Suppose that we have adopted the null hypothesis that the actual population mean is greater than or equal to 52, that is, H0 is that μ ≥ 52 and we want to test the alternative hypothesis, H1, that μ < 52, with level of significance α = 0.05. a) What type of test would be appropriate in...
In order to conduct a hypothesis test for the population proportion, you sample 450 observations that result in 189 successes. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) H0: p ≥ 0.45; HA: p < 0.45. a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic.
