鈥淪treaming鈥 of television programs is trending upward. According to The Harris Poll (August 26, 2013), over one-third of American鈥檚 qualify as 鈥渟ubscription streamers,鈥 i.e., those who watch streamed TV programs through a subscription service such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Amazon Prime. The poll included 2,242 adult TV viewers, of which 785 are subscription streamers. On the basis of this result, can you conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of =.10. Be sure to give the null and alternative hypotheses tested, test statistic value, rejection region or p-value, and conclusion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

At a 10% significance level, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

As per the Harris Poll, out of 2242 adult TV viewers surveyed, 785 are subscription streamers.

That is

The size of the samplen=2242

The sample proportion is

p^=7852242=0.350

02

Setting up the hypotheses

We have to test whether the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

As per the scenario, the null and alternative hypothesis is

H0:p=13=0.3333

That is, the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers does not differ from one-third.

And

Ha:p13

That is, the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

03

 Step 3: Calculating test statistic value

The test statistic for testing these hypotheses is given as

Z=p^-pp1-pn=0.350-0.33330.33331-0.33332242=0.01670.000099113=1.68

04

Calculating the p-value

We have Z=1.68, and the test is two-tailed (as an alternative hypothesis is two-tailed)

Therefore p-value in this scenario is

localid="1668671294086" p-value=2PZ>Z0=2PZ>1.68=20.0465.....usingstandardnormaltable=0.0930

05

Conclusion using p-value

We can see that

p-value=0.0930<0.10

That is, the obtained p-value is less than the significance level.

Hence, we reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

At a 10% significance level, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

A border protection avatar. The National Center for Border Security and Protection has developed the "Embodied Avatar"鈥攁 kiosk with a computer-animated border guard that uses artificial intelligence to scan passports, check fingerprints, read eye pupils, and asks questions of travellers crossing the U.S. border. (National Defense Magazine, February 2014.) Based on field tests, the avatar's developer claims that the avatar can detect deceitful speech correctly 75% of the time.

a. Identify the parameter of interest.

b. Give the null and alternative hypotheses for testing the claim made by the avatar's developer.

c. Describe a Type I error in the words of the problem.

d. Describe a Type II error in the words of the problem

Packaging of a children鈥檚 health food. Can packaging of a healthy food product influence children鈥檚 desire to consume the product? This was the question of interest in an article published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour (Vol. 10, 2011). A fictitious brand of a healthy food product鈥攕liced apples鈥攚as packaged to appeal to children (a smiling cartoon apple was on the front of the package). The researchers showed the packaging to a sample of 408 school children and asked each whether he or she was willing to eat the product. Willingness to eat was measured on a 5-point scale, with 1 = 鈥渘ot willing at all鈥 and 5 = 鈥渧ery willing.鈥 The data are summarized as follows: \(\bar x = 3.69\) , s = 2.44. Suppose the researchers knew that the mean willingness to eat an actual brand of sliced apples (which is not packaged for children) is \(\mu = 3\).

a. Conduct a test to determine whether the true mean willingness to eat the brand of sliced apples packaged for children exceeded 3. Use\(\alpha = 0.05\)

to make your conclusion.

b. The data (willingness to eat values) are not normally distributed. How does this impact (if at all) the validity of your conclusion in part a? Explain.

A two-tailed test was conducted with the null and alternative hypotheses stated being \({H_0}:p = .69\) against \({H_a}:p \ne .69\), respectively, with a sample size of 150. The test results were z = -.98 and two-tailed p-value = .327

a. Determine the conditions required for a valid large sample test

Student loan default rate. The national student loan default rate has fluctuated over the past several years. Recently (October 2015) the Department of Education reported the default rate (i.e., the proportion of college students who default on their loans) at 0.12. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses if you want to determine if the student loan default rate this year is less than 0.12.
The testing claimed by the national student loan default rate is the test for a specified proportion.

Salaries of postgraduates. The Economics of Education Review (Vol. 21, 2002) published a paper on the relationship between education level and earnings. The data for the research was obtained from the National Adult Literacy Survey of more than 25,000 respondents. The survey revealed that males with a postgraduate degree have a mean salary of \(61,340 (with standard error \(Sx\) = \)2,185), while females with a postgraduate degree have a mean of \(32,227 (with standard error \(Sx\) = \)932).

  1. The article reports that a 95% confidence interval for \[{\bf{\mu }}M\] , the population mean salary of all males with post-graduate degrees, is (\(57,050, \)65,631). Based on this interval, is there evidence to say that \[{\bf{\mu }}M\] differs from \(60,000? Explain.
  2. Use the summary information to test the hypothesis that the true mean salary of males with postgraduate degrees differs from \)60,000. Use \(\alpha \) =.05.
  3. Explain why the inferences in parts a and b agree.
  4. The article reports that a 95% confidence interval for \(\mu F\) , the population mean salary of all females with post-graduate degrees, is (\(30,396, \)34,058). Based on this interval, is there evidence to say that \(\mu F\)differs from \(33,000? Explain.
  5. Use the summary information to test the hypothesis that the true mean salary of females with postgraduate degrees differs from \)33,000. Use \(\alpha \) =.05.
  6. Explain why the inferences in parts d and e agree.
