Chapter 8: Q. 9.18 (page 358)

Early-Onset Dementia. Dementia is the loss of the intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judgment, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. In the article "Living with Early Onset Dementia: Exploring the Experience and Developing Evidence Based Guidelines for Practice" (Alzheimer's Care Quarterly, Vol. 5, Issue 2, pp. 111-122), P. Harris and J. Keady explored the experience and struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their families. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia is less than 55 years old.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a). 55 years

Part (b). less than 55 years

Part (c). left-tailed test

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.  

To determine whether the average age upon diagnosis of all persons with early-onset dementia is less than 55 years old, a hypothesis test will be conducted.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Determine the null hypothesis.  

Let

渭=the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia. The mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia u is equal to 55 years.

The null hypothesis:

So,H0:=55years

03

Part (b) Step 1. Determine the alternative hypothesis.  

The alternative idea is that all patients with early-onset dementia u are diagnosed while they are under 55 years old.

So,H0:H<55years

04

Part (c) Step 1. Classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.  

This hypothesis test is a left tailed test. This is because the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia 渭is less than 55 is decided by performing the alternative hypothesis test.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Identifying H0and H1. In Exercises 5鈥�8, do the following:

a. Express the original claim in symbolic form.

b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Cell Phone Claim: Fewer than 95% of adults have a cell phone. In a Marist poll of 1128 adults, 87% said that they have a cell phone.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9鈥�32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Cell Phones and Cancer In a study of 420,095 Danish cell phone users, 135 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in USA Today). Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.005 significance level. Based on these results, should cell phone users be concerned about cancer of the brain or nervous system?

Using Technology. In Exercises 5鈥�8, identify the indicated values or interpret the given display. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section. Use 伪= 0.05 significance level and answer the following:

a. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed?

b. What is the test statistic?

c. What is the P-value?

d. What is the null hypothesis, and what do you conclude about it?

e. What is the final conclusion?

Self-Driving Vehicles In a TE Connectivity survey of 1000 adults, 29% said that they would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle. The accompanying StatCrunch display results from testing the claim that more than 1/4 of adults feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

We have been provided a scenario for a hypothesis test for a population mean. Decide whether the z-test is an appropriate method for conducting the hypothesis test. Assume that the population standard deviation is known in the given case.

Preliminary data analyses reveal that the sample data contain no outliers but that the distribution of the variable under consideration is probably highly skewed. The sample size is 24.

Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that address the original claim. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population.

Birth Weights A simple random sample of birth weights of 30 girls has a standard deviation of 829.5 hg. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that birth weights of girls have the same standard deviation as birth weights of boys, which is 660.2 hg (based on Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥� in Appendix B).
