Chapter 8: Q1 (page 373)

In Exercises 1鈥�4, use these results from a USA Today survey in which 510 people chose to respond to this question that was posted on the USA Today website: 鈥淪hould Americans replace passwords with biometric security (fingerprints, etc)?鈥� Among the respondents, 53% said 鈥測es.鈥� We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.

Number and Proportion

a. Identify the actual number of respondents who answered 鈥測es.鈥�

b. Identify the sample proportion and the symbol used to represent it.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The actual number of respondents who answered 鈥測es鈥� is equal to 270.

b. The proportion of respondents who answered 鈥測es鈥� in the given sample is referred to as the sample proportion and is equal to 0.53.

The symbol used to represent the sample proportion isp^

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that out of 510 people who responded to a survey, 53% said 鈥測es鈥� to the question of whether they should replace passwords with biometric security.

02

Identify the actual number of respondents who replied with “yes”

a.

The total sample size (n) is equal to 510.

The proportion of respondents who answered 鈥測es鈥� is equal to 53%.

The actual number of respondents who answered 鈥測es鈥� is computed below:

53%of510=53%脳510=53100脳510=270.3鈮�270

Therefore, the number of respondents who answered 鈥測es鈥� is equal to 270.

03

Sample proportion

b.

The proportion of respondents who answered 鈥測es鈥� in the given sample is referred to as the sample proportion.

The symbol used to represent the sample proportion is p^.

Thus,

p^=53%=0.53

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.

BMI for Miss America. A claimed trend of thinner Miss America winners has generated charges that the contest encourages unhealthy diet habits among young women. Listed below are body mass indexes (BMI) for recent Miss America winners. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that recent winners are from a population with a mean BMI less than 20.16, which was the BMI for winners from the 1920s and 1930s. Given that BMI is a measure of the relative amounts of body fat and height, do recent winners appear to be significantly smaller than those from the 1920s and 1930s?

19.5 20.3 19.6 20.2 17.8 17.9 19.1 18.8 17.6 16.8.
The P-value for a hypothesis test is 0.06. For each of the following significance levels, decide whether the null hypothesis should be rejected.

a. 伪=0.05

b. 伪=0.10

c.伪=0.06

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.

Pulse Rates Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm. For the random sample of 153 adult males in Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 11.3 bpm.

Technology. In Exercises 9鈥�12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Airport Data Speeds Data Set 32 鈥淎irport Data Speeds鈥� in Appendix B includes Sprint data speeds (mbps). The accompanying TI-83/84 Plus display results from using those data to test the claim that they are from a population having a mean less than 4.00 Mbps. Conduct the hypothesis test using these results.
