Chapter 9: Q7CQQ (page 414)

True? When we collect random samples to test the claim that the proportion of female CIA agents stationed in the United States is equal to the proportion of female CIA agents stationed outside the United States, there is a requirement that \(np \ge 30\) and \(nq \ge 30\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is false that there is a requirement of \(np \ge 30\) and \(nq \ge 30\) to test the claim that the proportion of female CIA agents stationed in the United States is equal to the proportion of female CIA agents stationed outside the United States.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is required to test the claim that the proportion of female CIA agents stationed in the United States is equal to the proportion of female CIA agents stationed outside the United States.

02

Requirement of z-test

To test the given claim, a z-test for the testing the equality of two proportions needs to be conducted.

One of the requirements of the z-test is\(np \ge 5\)and\(nq \ge 5\). That is, the number of successes and the number of failures in each of the two samples should be at least equal to 5.

Here, n stands for the sample size, p stands for the proportion of success, and q stands for the proportion of failures.

Therefore, the given statement that there is a requirement of\(np \ge 30\)and\(nq \ge 30\)totest the claim that theproportion of female CIA agents stationed in the United States is equal to the proportion of female CIA agents stationed outside the United States is false.

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 n1鈭�1 and n2鈭�1.)

Color and Creativity Researchers from the University of British Columbia conducted trials to investigate the effects of color on creativity. Subjects with a red background were asked to think of creative uses for a brick; other subjects with a blue background were given the same task. Responses were scored by a panel of judges and results from scores of creativity are given below. Higher scores correspond to more creativity. The researchers make the claim that 鈥渂lue enhances performance on a creative task.鈥�

a. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that blue enhances performance on a creative task.

b. Construct the confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a). What is it about the confidence interval that causes us to reach the same conclusion from part (a)?

Red Background: n = 35, x = 3.39, s = 0.97

Blue Background: n = 36, x = 3.97, s = 0.63

Hypothesis Test Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that differences between heights of fathers and their sons have a mean of 0 in.

esting 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.

Accuracy of Fast Food Drive-Through Orders In a study of Burger King drive-through orders, it was found that 264 orders were accurate and 54 were not accurate. For McDonald鈥檚, 329 orders were found to be accurate while 33 orders were not accurate (based on data from QSR magazine). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Burger King and McDonald鈥檚 have the same accuracy rates.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

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

c. Relative to accuracy of orders, does either restaurant chain appear to be better?

Scatterplot Construct a scatterplot of the father/son heights, then interpret it.

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.

Ground vs. Helicopter for Serious Injuries A study investigated rates of fatalities among patients with serious traumatic injuries. Among 61,909 patients transported by helicopter, 7813 died. Among 161,566 patients transported by ground services, 17,775 died (based on data from 鈥淎ssociation Between Helicopter vs Ground Emergency Medical Services and Survival for Adults With Major Trauma,鈥� by Galvagno et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307, No. 15). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of fatalities is higher for patients transported by helicopter.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

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

c. Considering the test results and the actual sample rates, is one mode of transportation better than the other? Are there other important factors to consider?
