Chapter 9: Q. 114 (page 555)

A report by the Gallup Poll found that a woman visits her doctor, on average, at most5.8times each year. A random sample of 20women results in these yearly visit totals

3;2;1;3;7;2;9;4;6;6;8;0;5;6;4;2;1;3;4;1

At the 伪 = 0.05 level can it be concluded that the sample mean is higher than 5.8visits per year?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is higher than5.8visits per year.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given that the average number of times a women visits her doctor is5.8

02

Explanation

In the right-tailed test, reject the null hypothesis if p-value<0.05.

The null hypothesis states that the mean number of visits per year is less than or equal to5.8

H0:渭鈮�5.8

The alternative hypothesis suggests that the average number of visits per year is more than localid="1650624946822" 5.8

Ha:渭>5.8

Since the localid="1650464085153" p-value=0.998is greater than 0.05. We can't conclude whether the sample mean is more than localid="1650624937866" 5.8trips per year.

"Blowing Bubbles," by Sondra Prull

Studying stats just made me tense,

I had to find some sane defense.

Some light and lifting simple play

To float my math anxiety away.

Blowing bubbles lifts me high

Takes my troubles to the sky.

POIK! They're gone, with all my stress

Bubble therapy is the best.

The label said each time I blew

The average number of bubbles would be at least 22.

I blew and blew and this I found

From64blows, they all are round!

But the number of bubbles in64blows

Varied widely, this I know.

20per blow became the mean

They deviated by 6, and not16.

From counting bubbles, I sure did relax

But now I give to you your task.

Was22a reasonable guess?

Registered nurses earned an average annual salary of \(69,110. For that same year, a survey was conducted of 41 California registered nurses to determine if the annual salary is higher than \)69,110 for California nurses. The sample average was\(71,121with a sample standard deviation of \)7,489. Conduct a hypothesis test.

In 1955, Life Magazine reported that the 25year-old mother of three worked, on average, an 80 hour week. Recently,

many groups have been studying whether or not the women's movement has, in fact, resulted in an increase in the average

work week for women (combining employment and at-home work). Suppose a study was done to determine if the mean

work week has increased. 81women were surveyed with the following results. The sample mean was83the sample

standard deviation was ten. Does it appear that the mean work week has increased for women at the role="math" localid="1650381098713" 5%level?

A teacher believes that 85%of students in the class will want to go on a field trip to the local zoo. She performs a hypothesis test to determine if the percentage is the same or different from 85%. The teacher samples 50students and 39reply that they would want to go to the zoo. For the hypothesis test, use a 1%level of significance.

First, determine what type of test this is, set up the hypothesis test, find the p-value, sketch the graph, and state your conclusion.

According to an article in Bloomberg Businessweek, New York City's most recent adult smoking rate is 14%. Suppose that a survey is conducted to determine this year鈥檚 rate. Nine out of 70 randomly chosen N.Y. City residents reply that they smoke. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the rate is still 14% or if it has decreased.
