A local cancer support group believes that the estimate for new female breast cancer cases in the south is higher in 2013 than in 2012. The group compared the estimates of new female breast cancer cases by southern state in 2012 and in 2013. The results are in Table 10.32.

Short Answer

Expert verified

At the 5%level of significance, there is adequate evidence from the sample data to indicate that the number of new female breast cancer cases in 2013 was greater than in 2012.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information  

The given data is

We have to solve the problem by using this data.

02

Explanation 

a. the null hypothesis is

μd=0

b. The alternative hypothesis is,

μd≠0

c. The mean of new female breast cancer cases in the south between 2013 and 2012 is greater than zero. In 2013, the number of new female breast cancer cases in the South is expected to be higher than in 2012.

d. The t distribution of a student.

e. Fill in all requirements using Minitab's two sample t-test option.

The result shown below

Test statistic is4.40

f. The P value is 0.00

g.The graph is not created since the P value is zero.

i. α=0.05

ii. Conclusion: the null hypothesis must be rejected.

p value is the reason for the decision.Pvalue>α

iv. Conclusion: At the 5%level of significance, there is adequate evidence from the sample data to indicate that the number of new female breast cancer cases in 2013 was greater than in 2012.

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. The mean speeds of fastball pitches from two different

baseball pitchers are to be compared. A sample of 14 fastball pitches is measured from each pitcher. The populations have

normal distributions. Table 10.18 shows the result. Scouters believe that Rodriguez pitches a speedier fastball.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Use the following information to answer next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a juggling class. Before the class started, six subjects juggled as many balls as they could at once. After the class, the same six subjects juggled as many balls as they could. The differences in the number of balls are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the 1% significance level

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

f. single proportion

A new WiFi range booster is being offered to consumers. A researcher tests the native range of 12 different routers under the same conditions. The ranges are recorded. Then the researcher uses the new WiFi range booster and records the new ranges. Does the new WiFi range booster do a better job?

Comparing Two Independent Population Proportions.

Use the following informotion for the next five exercises. Two types of phone operating system are being tested to determine if there is a difference in the proportions of system failures (crashes). Fifteen out of a random sample of 150 phones with OS1 had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. Nine out of another random sample of 150 phones with

OS2 had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. OS2 is believed to be more stable (have fewer crashes) than OS1.

Is this a test of means or proportions?

At the 1% significance level, what is your conclusion?
