Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7鈥22, 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.

Tennis Challenges Since the Hawk-Eye instant replay system for tennis was introduced at the U.S. Open in 2006, men challenged 2441 referee calls, with the result that 1027 of the calls were overturned. Women challenged 1273 referee calls, and 509 of the calls were overturned. We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that men and women have equal success in challenging calls.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. Based on the results, does it appear that men and women have equal success in challenging calls?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim thatmen and women have equal success in challenging calls.

b. The 95% confidence interval is equal to (-0.0124, 0.0542), and it suggests that the claim thatmen and women have equal success in challenging calls is true.

c. Corresponding to the sample results, it appears that men and women have equal success in challenging calls.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Out of 2441 calls made by men, 1027 calls were overturned. Out of 1273 calls made by women, 509 calls were overturned. It is claimed that men and women have equal success in challenging calls.

02

Describe the hypotheses to be tested

Null hypothesis:Men and women have equal success in challenging calls.

H0:p1=p2

Alternate hypothesis:Men and women do not have equal success in challenging calls.

H1:p1p2

03

Calculate the sample statistics

Let n1denote the sample size of the calls challenged by men and n2denote the sample size of the calls challenged by women.

Here, n1=2441andn2=1273

Assume that x1and x2are the number of overturned calls made by men and women respectively.

Letp^1be the sample proportion of calls that were made by men and got overturned.

Thus,

p^1=x1n1=10272441=0.4207

q^1=1-p^1=0.5793

Letp^2be the sample proportion of calls that were made by women and got overturned.

p^2=x2n2=5091273p^2=0.3998

Thus,

q^2=1-p^2=0.6002

The value of the pooled sample proportion is equal to:

p=x1+x2n1+n2=1027+5092441+1273=0.4136


Hence,

q=1-p=1-0.4136=0.5864

04

Compute the value of test statistic

The test statistic is equal to:

z=p^1-p^2-p1-p2pqn1+pqn2=0.4207-0.3998-00.41360.58642441+0.41360.58641273=1.227

Referring to the standard normal distribution table, the critical values of z corresponding to =0.05for a two-tailed test are equal to -1.96 and 1.96.

Referring to the standard normal distribution table, the corresponding p-value is equal to 0.02199.

Here, the value of the test statistic lies between the two critical values.

Therefore, the null hypothesis is failed to reject.

05

Conclusion

a.

There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim thatmen and women have equal success in challenging calls.

06

Describe the Confidence Interval.

b.

If the level of significance for a two-tailed test is equal to 0.05, then the corresponding confidence level to construct the confidence interval is equal to 95%.

The confidence interval estimate has the following formula:

p^1-p^2-E<p1-p2<p^1-p^2+E

Here, E is the margin of error.

07

Calculate the margin of error

The value of the margin of error is computed below:

E=z2p^1q^1n1+p^2q^2n2=1.960.42070.57932441+0.39980.60021273=0.0333

08

Construct the confidence interval

b.

Substituting the required values, the following confidence interval is obtained:

p^1-p^2-E<p1-p2<p^1-p^2+E(0.4207-0.3998)-0.0333<p1-p2<(0.4207-0.3998)+0.0333-0.0124<p1-p2<0.0542

Thus, the 95% confidence interval is equal to (-0.0124, 0.0542).

This confidence interval contains zero that means the difference in the proportions of overturned calls can be equal to 0.

Therefore, the confidence interval suggests that there is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim thatmen and women have equal success in challenging calls.

09

Compare the accuracy rates.

c.

The sample success ratein challenging callsfor men is equal to 42.07% and the sample success rate in challenging calls for women is 39.98%.

Therefore,it appears that men and women have equal success in challenging calls.

Hypothesis and conclusions refer to the hypothesis test described in exercise 1.

a. Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis

b. If the p-value for test is reported as 鈥渓ess than 0.001,鈥 what should we conclude about the original claim?

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7鈥22, 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

Question:Headache Treatment In a study of treatments for very painful 鈥渃luster鈥 headaches, 150 patients were treated with oxygen and 148 other patients were given a placebo consisting of ordinary air. Among the 150 patients in the oxygen treatment group, 116 were free from head- aches 15 minutes after treatment. Among the 148 patients given the placebo, 29 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment (based on data from 鈥淗igh-Flow Oxygen for Treatment of Cluster Headache,鈥 by Cohen, Burns, and Goads by, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 302, No. 22). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. Based on the results, is the oxygen treatment effective?

Cell Phones and Handedness A study was conducted to investigate the association between cell phone use and hemispheric brain dominance. Among 216 subjects who prefer to use their left ear for cell phones, 166 were right-handed. Among 452 subjects who prefer to use their right ear for cell phones, 436 were right-handed (based on data from 鈥淗emi- spheric Dominance and Cell Phone Use,鈥 by Seidman et al., JAMA Otolaryngology鈥擧ead & Neck Surgery, Vol. 139, No. 5). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of right-handedness for those who prefer to use their left ear for cell phones is less than the rate of right-handedness for those who prefer to use their right ear for cell phones. (Try not to get too confused here.)

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

Braking Reaction Times: Boxplots Use the same data from Exercise 6 and use the same scale to construct a boxplot of the braking reaction times of males and another boxplot for the braking reaction times of females. What do the boxplots suggest?

Notation for the sample data given in exercise 1, consider the salk vaccine treatment group to be the first sample.
