The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population.

a. Is this a test of one mean or proportion?

b. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0:

Ha:

c. Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test?

a. This is a test on one proportion.

b. The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H0:p0.095Ha:p<0.095

c. The test is left tailed test.

d. The random variable is px, which represents the percentage of persons in town who are depressed or have a depressive disease.

e.The random variable for this test can be defined as the proportion of people in town suffering from depression or depressive illness.

f. i. The value is x=7.

ii. The Sample size n=100.

iii. The value of p'is 0.905.

g. The standard deviation is 2.93. The formula used is =np(1-p).

h. Normal Distribution Should be used.

i. The required pvalue is 0.24196.

j. i. The decision is to accept the null value.

ii. The P-value P=0.1977is greater than the significance level =0.05which means that the test statistic z=-0.85is not on the rejection region.

iii. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.05level of significance to conclude that the proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Let p=9.5%be the true proportion of adults that suffer from depression i any one-year period.

Let p^=7100=7%be the proportion of adults that suffer from depression according to the survey.

02

Explanation Part a

The null value is H0:p=9.5%

The alternative hypothesis is:

H1:p<9.5%

The test statistic is:

z=p^-ppqn

This is a one-tailed test comparing a sample proportion to an established a population proportion.

03

Explanation part b

In the problem, the null hypothesis is:

Ho:p0.095

The alternative hypothesis is a claim about the population that is contradictory toHOand what we conclude when we reject HO.

In the problem, the alternative hypothesis is that the proportion of the people in town suffering from depressive illness is less than 9.5%.

In the problem, the alternative hypothesis is:

04

Explanation  part c

The goal of the test is to see if the genuine rate of depression in that town is lower than the rate in the overall population.
Thetestisleft-tailedsincetheclaimcontainstheterm"lowerthan."

The test is a left-tailed test.

05

Explanation part d

Let xbe the percent of people in that town suffering from depression or depressive illness.

Let pbe the mean proportion of people in town suffering from depression or depressive illness.

The random variable is the proportion of people in town suffering from depression or depressive illness.

The random variable is px.

06

Explanation part e

The random variable for this test can be defined as the proportion of people in town suffering from depression or depressive illness.

07

Explanation  part f.i

i.The number of people x, who respond in the positive, or those who suffered from depression is:

x=7

The required value isx=7

08

Explanation  part f.ii

Observe that the number of people surveyed are100 .

Therefore, it follows the sample size is:

n=100

09

Explanation part f.iii

It is mentioned that 9.5%of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness:

p=9.5%

Convert the proportion into decimal:

p=0.095

The value of p'is the complement of the value of p:

p'=1-p

Substitute p=0.095into the equation:

p'=1-0.095

p'=0.905

10

Explanation for g

The standard deviation for a proportion distribution with proportion $\boldsymbol{p}$ and sample size $\boldsymbol{n}$ is expressed:

=np(1-p)

Substitute n=100and p=9.5%to the equation above:

=1009.5%(1-9.5%)

Find the value of :

2.93

11

Explanation for h

Normal distribution can be used if np5and nq5.

Substitute n=100,p=0.095and q=0.905into the expressions to check if the inequalities are true:

1000.095=9.55

1000.905=90.55

Since both inequalities are true, normal distribution can be used for the hypothesis test.

12

Explanation for part i

Substitute p=0.095,q=0.905,p^=0.07and in the test statistic for population proportion:

z=0.07-0.09050.0950.905100

Solve for z:

z-0.7

In the z-table the p-value that corresponds to -0.7is 0.24196.

13

Explanation for part j.i

The critical value with a 95%confidence level and the value of test statistic.

The value of test statistic falls in the acceptance region.

-1.64<-0.896

The decision is to accept the null hypothesis.

14

Explanation  for j.ii

The hypothesis test for the proportion reveals that the P-value is P=0.1977.

If the P-value is less than (or equal to) , reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. If the P-value is greater than , do not reject the null hypothesis.

Do not reject the null hypothesis.

Since the P-value P=0.1977is greater than the significance level =0.05, there is no sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

15

Explanation for j.iii

The significance value for this test is =0.05and the p- value =0.1977

0.1977>0.05

Since the p- value is greater than , the value of the test statistic is not in the rejection region so don't reject the null hypothesis.

There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.05level of significance to conclude that the proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population.

A recent survey in the N.Y. Times Almanac indicated that 48.8% of families own stock. A broker wanted to determine if this survey could be valid. He surveyed a random sample of 250 families and found that 142 owned some type of stock. At the 0.05 significance level, can the survey be considered to be accurate?

The mean entry level salary of an employee at a company is $58,000. You believe it is higher for IT professionals in the company. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 67% of patrons borrow books. The library director in Owensboro, Kentucky feels this is not true, so she asked a local college statistic class to conduct a survey. The class randomly selected 100 patrons and found that 82 borrowed books. Did the class demonstrate that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY? Use 伪 = 0.01 level of significance. What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?

"Japanese Girls鈥 Names"

by Kumi Furuichi

It used to be very typical for Japanese girls鈥 names to end with 鈥渒o.鈥 (The trend might have started around my grandmothers鈥 generation and its peak might have been around my mother鈥檚 generation.) 鈥淜o鈥 means 鈥渃hild鈥 in Chinese characters. Parents would name their daughters with 鈥渒o鈥 attaching to other Chinese characters which have meanings that they want their daughters to become, such as Sachiko鈥攈appy child, Yoshiko鈥攁 good child, Yasuko鈥攁 healthy child, and so on. However, I noticed recently that only two out of nine of my Japanese girlfriends at this school have names which end with 鈥渒o.鈥 More and more, parents seem to have become creative, modernized, and, sometimes, westernized in naming their children.

I have a feeling that, while 70 percent or more of my mother鈥檚 generation would have names with 鈥渒o鈥 at the end, the proportion has dropped among my peers. I wrote down all my Japanese friends鈥, ex-classmates鈥, co-workers, and acquaintances鈥 names that I could remember. Following are the names. (Some are repeats.) Test to see if the proportion has dropped for this generation.
