You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.

According to Inc.com, 79% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. Suppose a survey of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers showed that 308 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 279 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer.

Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the results of the survey justify concluding the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search exceeds the proportion of the population that use social media in their job search. Use α = 0.05.

Let x be a random variable that represents hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with population mean of about 14 for healthy adult women. Suppose that a female patient has taken 10 laboratory blood tests during the past year. The HC data sent to the patient's doctor are as follows.

15 18 16 19 15 11 13 18 17 12

(i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

x =
s =


(ii) Does this information indicate that the population average HC for this patient is higher than 14? Use ? = 0.01.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H0: ? = 14; H1:  ? < 14

H0: ? = 14; H1:  ? ? 14    

   H0: ? < 14; H1:  ? = 14

H0: ? > 14; H1:  ? = 14

H0: ? = 14; H1:  ? > 14


(b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.

The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution and ? is known.

The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution and ? is unknown.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


(c) Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ??

At the ? = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

At the ? = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.

    At the ? = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

At the ? = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.


(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the population average HC for this patient is higher than 14.

There is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the population average HC for this patient is higher than 14.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 64 subjects were treated with raw garlicCholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.6 and a standard deviation of 1.61. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the moon change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected, Identity the null and alternative hypotheses, best statistic, -value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Discuss the etymologies of the following scientific names. Use any resources you need to discuss why these scientific names are (or are not) appropriate for the taxa carrying them. For example, you might state something like “Arborporphyriflos” (which does not exist) means “a tree with purple flowers”, so the etymology would be appropriate for a plant like that because the genus means tree (Arbor) and the specific epithet means purple flower (porphyriflos); however, if the tree was observed to produce yellow flowers the name’s etymology becomes somewhat inaccurate as a descriptor. Clearly, you will have to judge for yourself based on what you find out about these organisms:
