Chapter 8: Q10 (page 372)

In Exercises 9鈥�12, refer to the exercise identified. Make subjective estimates to decide whether results are significantly low or significantly high, then state a conclusion about the original claim. For example, if the claim is that a coin favours heads and sample results consist of 11 heads in 20 flips, conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the coin favours heads (because it is easy to get 11 heads in 20 flips by chance with a fair coin).

Exercise 6 鈥淐ell Phone鈥�

Short Answer

Expert verified

The result of 95% of adults who have cell phonesseems significantly low.

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of adults who have a cell phone is less than 95%.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Referring to Exercise 6, out of 1128 adults, 87% said they have a cell phone.

02

Conclusion

It is claimed that less than 95% of adults have a cell phone, that is, p<0.95.

Since 87% is considerably less than 95%, it appears to be unlikely to obtain a proportion of 87% in a sample when the true proportion is 95%.

Therefore, the result of 87% appears to be significantly low.

Thus, this suggests that there is evidence to support the given claim that the proportion of adults who have a cell phone is less than 95%.

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.

Super Bowl Wins Through the sample of the first 49 Super Bowls, 28 of them were won by teams in the National Football Conference (NFC). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the probability of an NFC team Super Bowl win is greater than one-half.

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.)

Exercise 5 鈥淥nline Data鈥�

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.

Is the Diet Practical? When 40 people used the Weight Watchers diet for one year, their mean weight loss was 3.0 lb and the standard deviation was 4.9 lb (based on data from 鈥淐omparison of the Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, and Zone Diets for Weight Loss and Heart Disease Reduction,鈥� by Dansinger et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 293, No. 1). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight loss is greater than 0. Based on these results, does the diet appear to have statistical significance? Does the diet appear to have practical significance?

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.

How Many English Words? A simple random sample of 10 pages from Merriam-Webster鈥檚 Collegiate Dictionary is obtained. The numbers of words defined on those pages are found, with these results: n = 10, x = 53.3 words, s = 15.7 words. Given that this dictionary has 1459 pages with defined words, the claim that there are more than 70,000 defined words is equivalent to the claim that the mean number of words per page is greater than 48.0 words. Assume a normally distributed population. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean number of words per page is greater than 48.0 words. What does the result suggest about the claim that there are more than 70,000 defined words?

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.

Super Bowl Wins Through the sample of the first 49 Super Bowls, 28 of them were won by teams in the National Football Conference (NFC). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the probability of an NFC team Super Bowl win is greater than one-half.
