Chapter 8: Q8 (page 383)

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 = 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?

Biometric Security In a USA Today survey of 510 people, 53% said that we should replace passwords with biometric security, such as fingerprints. The accompanying Statdisk display results from a test of the claim that half of us say that we should replace passwords with biometric security.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The test is two-tailed.

b. The value of the test statistic (z-score) is equal to 1.3284.

c. The p-value is equal to 0.1840.

d. The null hypothesis is that the proportion of people who say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is equal to 50%.The null hypothesis is failed to reject.

e. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of people who say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is not equal to 50%.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that out of 510 respondents, 53% say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.

A claim is made that exactly half of the people say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.

02

Tail of the test

a.

According to the given claim, the proportion of people who say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is equal to 50%.

This implies that the alternative hypothesis will be as follows.

Alternative hypothesis: .

As there is a not equal sign in the alternative hypothesis, the test is two-tailed.

03

Test statistic

b.

The test statistic to test the given claim is the z-score.

Here, the value of the test statistic (z-score) is equal to 1.3284.

04

P-value

c.

The p-value corresponding to the z-score of 1.3284 is equal to 0.1840.

05

Null hypothesis and conclusion of the test

d.

The null hypothesis for this test is as follows.

Null hypothesis: The proportion of people who say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is equal to 50% or 0.5.

Symbolically, H0:p=0.5,where

p is the proportion of people who say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.

Here, the p-value equal to 0.1840 is greater than the significance level of 0.05. Thus, the null hypothesis is failed to reject.

06

Conclusion of the test

e.

There is not enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of people who say that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is not equal to 50% or 0.5.

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?

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.

Equivalence of Methods If we use the same significance level to conduct the hypothesis test using the P-value method, the critical value method, and a confidence interval, which method is not equivalent to the other two?

Lead in Medicine Listed below are the lead concentrations (in ) measured in different Ayurveda medicines. Ayurveda is a traditional medical system commonly used in India. The lead concentrations listed here are from medicines manufactured in the United States (based on data from 鈥淟ead, Mercury, and Arsenic in US and Indian Manufactured Ayurvedic Medicines Sold via the Internet,鈥� by Saper et al., Journal of the American Medical Association,Vol. 300, No. 8). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 14 渭g/g.

3.0 6.5 6.0 5.5 20.5 7.5 12.0 20.5 11.5 17.5

Type I and Type II Errors. In Exercises 29鈥�32, provide statements that identify the type I error and the type II error that correspond to the given claim. (Although conclusions are usually expressed in verbal form, the answers here can be expressed with statements that include symbolic expressions such as p = 0.1.).

The proportion of adults who use the internet is greater than 0.87.

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.

Smoking Stopped In a program designed to help patients stop smoking, 198 patients were given sustained care, and 82.8% of them were no longer smoking after one month (based on data from 鈥淪ustained Care Intervention and Post discharge Smoking Cessation Among Hospitalized Adults,鈥� by Rigotti et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 312, No. 7). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that 80% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care. Does sustained care appear to be effective?
