Chapter 8: Q33 (page 373)

Interpreting Power Chantix (varenicline) tablets are used as an aid to help people stop smoking. In a clinical trial, 129 subjects were treated with Chantix twice a day for 12 weeks, and 16 subjects experienced abdominal pain (based on data from Pfizer, Inc.). If someone claims that more than 8% of Chantix users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.96. Interpret this value of the power of the test.

Short Answer

Expert verified

When the true proportion of Chantix users who suffer from abdominal pain is equal to 0.18, there is a 96% chance of making the right conclusion about supporting the claim that the proportion of Chantix users who suffer from abdominal pain is more than 8%.

Step by step solution

01

 Given information 

It is claimed that more than 8% of Chantix tablet users experience abdominal pain. The claim is supported at a 0.05 level of significance.

The alternative value of p=0.18 and the power of the test is equal to 0.96.

02

 Hypotheses 

The following hypotheses are noted for the given claim:

Null hypothesis: The proportion of Chantix users who experience abdominal pain is equal to 0.08.

That is, H0:p=0.08.

Alternative hypothesis: The proportion of Chantix users who experience abdominal pain is more than 0.08.

That is, HA:p>0.08.

It is mentioned that the claim of more than 8% or a proportion of 0.08 of Chantix users who suffered from abdominal pain is supported at a 5% level of significance. Thus, the null hypothesis is false here.

03

Power of the test

The value of the power of the test gives the probability value of rejecting a false null hypothesis. It stands for making the right conclusion of rejecting the null hypothesis that is not true.

An alternate value of the proportion is equal to 0.18. Also, the null hypothesis is false.

The power of the test has a value equal to 0.96.

This means that there is a 96% chance of rejecting the false null hypothesis that the proportion of Chantix tablet users who suffer from abdominal pain is equal to 0.08, but the actual proportion is equal to 0.18.

That is, when the true proportion of Chantix users who experience abdominal pain is equal to 0.18, there is a 96% chance of making the correct conclusion that the proportion of Chantix users who suffer from abdominal pain is more than 0.08.

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.

Lie Detectors Trials in an experiment with a polygraph yield 98 results that include 24 cases of wrong results and 74 cases of correct results (based on data from experiments conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts of Boise State University and Gordon H. Barland of the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that such polygraph results are correct less than 80% of the time. Based on the results, should polygraph test results be prohibited as evidence in trials?

Final Conclusions. In Exercises 25鈥�28, use a significance level of 伪 = 0.05 and use the given information for the following:

a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H0or fail to reject H0.)

b. Without using technical terms or symbols, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Original claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm. The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.3045.

Testing Claims About Variation. In Exercises 5鈥�16, 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. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population.

Spoken Words Couples were recruited for a study of how many words people speak in a day. A random sample of 56 males resulted in a mean of 16,576 words and a standard deviation of 7871 words. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that males have a standard deviation that is greater than the standard deviation of 7460 words for females (based on Data Set 24 鈥淲ord Counts鈥�).

Finding P-values. In Exercises 5鈥�8, either use technology to find the P-value or use Table A-3 to find a range of values for the P-value.

Airport Data Speeds: The claim that for Verizon data speeds at airports, the mean. The sample size is and the test statistic is

t =-1.625 .

P-Values. In Exercises 17鈥�20, do the following:

a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed.

b. Find the P-value. (See Figure 8-3 on page 364.)

c. Using a significance level of 伪 = 0.05, should we reject H0or should we fail to reject H0?

The test statistic of z = -2.50 is obtained when testing the claim that p<0.75
