Hypothesis Tests and Confidence Intervals for Hemoglobin

a. Exercise 2 includes a confidence interval. If you use the P-value method or the critical value method from Part 1 of this section to test the claim that women and men have the same mean hemoglobin levels, will the hypothesis tests and the confidence interval result in the same conclusion?

b. In general, if you conduct a hypothesis test using the methods of Part 1 of this section, will the P-value method, the critical value method, and the confidence interval method result in the same conclusion?

c. Assume that you want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean haemoglobin level in women is lessthan the mean hemoglobin level in men. What confidence level should be used if you want to test that claim using a confidence interval?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Yes, the hypothesis tests and the confidence interval results in the same conclusion.

b. Yes. The -value method, the critical value method, and the confidence interval method result in the same conclusion.

c. Confidence level should be used.

Step by step solution

01

Define inferential tests

a. Refer to exercise 2 for the claim that mean haemoglobin level in men and women is same.

The test is two-tailed.

The p-value method or critical value method pertaining to the claim would provide the same results for the test at the same level of significance. Further, the results derived from any of the two methods of hypothesis tests would be the same as the result derived from the confidence level at any corresponding level of confidence.

02

Compare the methods used in hypothesis tests and confidence intervals

b. The P-value method of hypothesis testing, the critical value method of hypothesis testing, along with confidence intervals all use the same distribution and standard error to derive results.

Thus, the results are expected to be equivalent in the sense that they result in the same conclusions.

03

Find the confidence level

c. It is desired to test the claim that the mean hemoglobin level in women is less than the mean hemoglobin level in men. The claim suggests a one-tailed hypothesis at a 0.01 level of significance.

Referring to 8-1, it can hence be concluded that the confidence level that is appropriate to test the claim is 98%.

Heights Use a 0.01 significance level with the sample data from Exercise 3 to test the claim that women have heights with a mean that is less than the mean height of men.

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?

Braking Reaction Times: Histogram Listed below are sorted braking reaction times (in 1>10,000 sec) for male and female subjects (based on data from the RT-2S Brake Reaction Time Tester). Construct a histogram for the reaction times of males. Use a class width of 8 and use 28 as the lower limit of the first class. For the horizontal axis, use class midpoint values. Does it appear that the data are from a population with a normal distribution?

In Exercises 5鈥�20, assume that the two samples are independent random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. (Note: Answers in Appendix D include technology answers based on Formula 9-1 along with 鈥淭able鈥� answers based on Table A-3 with df equal to the smaller of n1鈭�1 and n2鈭�1).

Are male and female professors rated differently? According to Data Set 17 鈥淐ourse Evaluations鈥� Appendix B, given below are student evaluation scores of female professors and male professors. The test claims that female and male professors have the same mean evaluation ratings. Does there appear to be a difference?

In Exercises 5鈥�20, assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. (Note: Answers in Appendix D include technology answers based on Formula 9-1 along with 鈥淭able鈥� answers based on Table A-3 with df equal to the smaller of\({n_1} - 1\)and\({n_2} - 1\).) Bad Stuff in Children鈥檚 Movies Data Set 11 鈥淎lcohol and Tobacco in Movies鈥� in Appendix B includes lengths of times (seconds) of tobacco use shown in animated children鈥檚 movies. For the Disney movies, n = 33,\(\bar x\)= 61.6 sec, s = 118.8 sec. For the other movies, n = 17,\(\bar x\)= 49.3 sec, s = 69.3 sec. The sorted times for the non-Disney movies are listed below.

a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Disney animated children鈥檚 movies and other animated children鈥檚 movies have the same mean time showing tobacco use.

b. Construct a confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a).

c. Conduct a quick visual inspection of the listed times for the non-Disney movies and comment on the normality requirement. How does the normality of the 17 non-Disney times affect the results?
