A particular report included the following table classifying 817 fatal bicycle accidents that occurred in a certain year according to the time of day the accident occurred.
Time of Day | Number of Accidents |
---|---|
midnight to 3 a.m. | 46 |
3 a.m. to 6 a.m. | 52 |
6 a.m. to 9 a.m. | 87 |
9 a.m. to noon | 72 |
noon to 3 p.m. | 78 |
3 p.m. to 6 p.m. | 158 |
6 p.m. to 9 p.m. | 191 |
9 p.m. to midnight | 133 |
For purposes of this exercise, assume that these 817 bicycle accidents are a random sample of fatal bicycle accidents.
Suppose a safety office proposes that bicycle fatalities are twice as likely to occur between noon and midnight as during midnight to noon and suggests the following hypothesis: H0: p1 = 1/3, p2= 2/3, where p1 is the proportion of accidents occurring between midnight and noon and p2 is the proportion occurring between noon and midnight. Do the data given provide evidence against this hypothesis, or are the data compatible with it? Justify your answer with an appropriate test. Use a significance level of 0.05.
1. State the appropriate alternative hypothesis.
a) Ha:
p1 > 1/3, p2< 2/3
b) Ha:
p1 > 1/3,
p2 > 2/3
c) Ha: p1 ≠ 1/3, p2 = 2/3
d) Ha: H0 is not true.
e) Ha: p1 = 1/3 , p2 = 2/3
2. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use technology. Round your test statistic to three decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
X2=
P-value=
3. State the conclusion in the problem context.
a) Reject H0. There is convincing evidence to conclude that bicycle fatalities are not twice as likely to occur between noon and midnight as during midnight to noon.
b) Reject H0. There is not convincing evidence to conclude that bicycle fatalities are not twice as likely to occur between noon and midnight as during midnight to noon.
c) Fail to reject H0. There is convincing evidence to conclude that bicycle fatalities are not twice as likely to occur between noon and midnight as during midnight to noon.
d) Fail to reject H0. There is not convincing evidence to conclude that bicycle fatalities are not twice as likely to occur between noon and midnight as during midnight to noon.
Ha:p1>1/3, p2<2/3
X2=1.295
pvalue=0.255
As pvalue>0.05, we fail to reject H0
3)d) Fail to reject H0. There is not convincing evidence to conclude that bicycle fatalities are not twice as likely to occur between noon and midnight as during midnight to noon.

MULTI-PART Question: (4 parts) According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during the on each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0% while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. A random sample of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents were surveyed. We are interested in finding out if there is evidence to suggest that the rate of sleep deprivation is...

8. A random sample of 25 college males was obtained and each was asked to report their actual height and what they wished as their ideal height. A 95% confidence interval for μd= average difference between their ideal and actual heights was 0.8" to 2.2". Based on this interval, which one of the null hypotheses below (versus a two-sided alternative)can be rejected? A. H0: μd= 0.5 B. H0: μd= 1.0 C. H0: μd= 1.5 D. H0: μd= 2.0 9. The...
