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

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.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥�24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. 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.

Garlic for Reducing Cholesterol In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol 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 0.4 and a standard deviation of 21.0 (based on data from 鈥淓ffect of Raw Garlic vs Commercial Garlic Supplements on Plasma Lipid Concentrations in Adults with Moderate Hypercholesterolemia,鈥� by Gardner et al., Archives of Internal Medicine, Vol. 167, No. 4). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment?

Interpreting Power For the sample data in Example 1 鈥淎dult Sleep鈥� from this section, Minitab and StatCrunch show that the hypothesis test has power of 0.4943 of supporting the claim that 渭<7 hours of sleep when the actual population mean is 6.0 hours of sleep. Interpret this value of the power, then identify the value of 尾and interpret that value. (For the t test in this section, a 鈥渘oncentrality parameter鈥� makes calculations of power much more complicated than the process described in Section 8-1, so software is recommended for power calculations.)

Test Statistics. In Exercises 13鈥�16, refer to the exercise identified and find the value of the test statistic. (Refer to Table 8-2 on page 362 to select the correct expression for evaluating the test statistic.)

16. Exercise 8 鈥淧ulse Rates鈥�

Cans of coke for the sample data from exercise 1, we get 鈥淧-value<0.01鈥� when testing the claim that the new filling process results in volumes with the same standard deviation of 0.115 oz.

  1. What should we conclude about the null hypothesis?
  2. What should we conclude about the original claims?
  3. What do these results suggest about the new filling process?
