A television station wishes to study the relationship between viewership of its 11 p.m. news program and viewer age (18 years or less, 19 to 35, 36 to 54, 55 or older). A sample of 250 television viewers in each age group is randomly selected, and the number who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news is found for each sample. The results are given in the table below. Age Group Watch 11 p.m. News? 18 or less 19 to 35 36 to 54 55 or Older Total Yes 42 57 61 82 242 No 208 193 189 168 758 Total 250 250 250 250 1,000 (a) Let p1, p2, p3, and p4 be the proportions of all viewers in each age group who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news. If these proportions are equal, then whether a viewer watches the station’s 11 p.m. news is independent of the viewer’s age group. Therefore, we can test the null hypothesis H0 that p1, p2, p3, and p4 are equal by carrying out a chi-square test for independence. Perform this test by setting α = .05. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) χ2χ2 = so (Click to select)Do not rejectReject H0: independence (b) Compute a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference between p1 and p4. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.) 95% CI: [ , ]

In 1950​, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and​ asked, "Are you a total abstainer​ from, or do you on occasion​ consume, alcoholic​ beverages?" Of the 1100 adults​ surveyed, 363 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent​ survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 319 indicated that they were total abstainers. Has the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol​ changed? Use the α = 0.01 level of significance. Normality criteria have been satisfied.

When you perform a test of hypothesis, you must always use the 4-step approach: i. S1:the “Null” and “Alternate” hypotheses, ii. S2: manually calculate value of the test statistic, iii. S3: specify the level of significance and the critical value of the statistic, iv. S5: use appropriate decision rule and then reach a conclusion about not rejecting or rejecting the null hypothesis. S5: If asked to calculate p–value,do so and relate the p-value to the level of significance in reaching your conclusion. If you use MiniTab to perform the hypothesis test, you must paste the relevant output into your assignment. This output simply verifies and occasionally replaces the manual computation of the test statistic, p-value or the confidence interval. You must supply all the required steps, mentioned above, to make your testing procedure standard and complete. If Confidence Coefficient (CC) and Level of Significance (LS) are not specified, assume the default values of 95% and 5% respectively. Use precision level of only 4 Decimal Digits (DD) and no more or no less, when calculations are done with a calculator.

Share the null and alternative hypotheses for a decision that is relevant to your life. This can be a personal item or something at work. Define the population parameter, the appropriate test statistic formula, and if it is a one- or two-tailed test. Be sure to set up your hypotheses, too.

The two population parameters that we cover this week are:

μ: the population mean

and

p: the population proportion

Be sure to include numerical values for your variables. Additionally, identify the Type I and Type II Errors that could occur with your decision‐making process.

Airports:

The temperature is recorded at 60 airports in a region. The average temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit with a standard deviation of 5 degrees. The last known average temperature from all airports is 67 degrees Fahrenheit.   Is the recorded temperature at the 60 airports different from the average temperature at all airports?

  • Answer substantive significance with difference in means and effect size.

New York Attitudes:

The New York Chamber of Commerce has asked you to do a study concerning people's attitudes toward our city. As part of the study, you will ask them to rate their image of New York on a scale from 1 to 100 (1= awful city - call in the bulldozers; 100 = wonderful city - there is none better). Previous data show this scale is normally distributed with a last known population average rating of 50 and a standard deviation of 10.

Sheila's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes (high blood glucose levels during pregnancy). There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if the glucose level is above 140 miligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after having a sugary drink. Sheila's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μμ = 125 mg/dl and σσ = 15 mg/dl.

(a) If a single glucose measurement is made, what is the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes?
(b) If measurements are made on 7 separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion 140 mg/dl, what is the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes?

Andrew plans to retire in 36 years. He plans to invest part of his retirement funds in stocks, so he seeks out information on past returns. He learns that over the entire 20th century, the real (that is, adjusted for inflation) annual returns on U.S. common stocks had mean 8.7% and standard deviation 20.2%. The distribution of annual returns on common stocks is roughly symmetric, so the mean return over even a moderate number of years is close to Normal.

(a) What is the probability (assuming that the past pattern of variation continues) that the mean annual return on common stocks over the next 36 years will exceed 11%?
(b) What is the probability that the mean return will be less than 4%?
