Children make choices Refer to Exercise 15.

a. Explain why the sample results give some evidence for the alternative hypothesis.

b. Calculate the standardized test statistic and P-value.

c. What conclusion would you make?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The sample proportion of 4to 5year old who can sort correctly is smaller than the the sample proportion of 6to 7year old who can sort correctly.

b. The Pvalue is 0.0003and test static value is -3.45.

c. Conclusion is that there is evidence that there is a greater proportion of 6to 7year old who can sort correctly than the proportion of 4to 5year old who can sort correctly.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that researchers want to know that if a greater proportion of 6to 7year old can sort correctly than 4to 5year old or not.

x1=10

x2=28

n1=50

n2=53

02

The reason that sample results give evidence for alternative hypothesis

Claim is population is greater for 6-7years old.

The hypothesis is:

Null: H0:p1=p2

Alternative: Ha:p1<p2

p1is the proportion of 4-5year old who can sort correctly.

p2is the proportion of 6-7year old who can sort correctly.

Sample proportion is p^1=x1n1=1050=0.20

p^2=x2n2=2853=0.5283

p1<p2, there is some evidence for alternative hypothesis.

03

Test Statistics and P value.

From above part, p^1=0.20and p^2==0.5283

and p^p=x1+x2n1+n2=10+2850+53=38103=0.3689

Value of test statistics is:

z=p^1-p^2-p1-p2p^p1-p^p1n1+1n2

=0.20-0.5283-00.3689(1-0.3689)150+153

-3.45

Thus probability is P=P(Z<-3.45)=0.0003

04

Conclusion

From above:

H0:p1=p2

Ha:p1<p2

As Pvalue is less than significance level P<0.05RejectH0
There is evidence present that there is greater proportion of6-7years old who can sort correctly than proportion of4-5years old who can sort correctly.

Suppose the null and alternative hypothesis for a significance test are defined as

H0: 渭=403051526=0.200=20.0%H0 : 渭=40

Ha: 渭<403051526=0.200=20.0%Ha : 渭<40

Which of the following specific values for Ha will give the highest power? a. 渭=383051526=0.200=20.0%=38

b. 渭=393051526=0.200=20.0%=39

c. 渭=413051526=0.200=20.0%=41

d. 渭=423051526=0.200=20.0%=42

e. 渭=43 3051526=0.200=20.0%=43

Facebook As part of the Pew Internet and American Life Project, researchers conducted two surveys. The first survey asked a random sample of 1060U.S. teens about their use of social media. A second survey posed similar questions to a random sample of 2003U.S. adults. In these two studies, 71.0%of teens and 58.0%of adults used Facebook. Let plocalid="1654194806576" T3051526=0.200=20.0%pT= the true proportion of all U.S. teens who use Facebook and pA3051526=0.200=20%pA = the true proportion of all U.S. adults who use Facebook. Calculate and interpret a 99%confidence interval for the difference in the true proportions of U.S. teens and adults who use Facebook.

Each day I am getting better in math A "subliminal" message is below our threshold of awareness but may nonetheless influence us. Can subliminal messages help students learn math? A group of 18students who had failed the mathematics part of the City University of New York Skills Assessment Test agreed to participate in a study to find out. All received a daily subliminal message, flashed on a screen too rapidly to be consciously read. The treatment group of 10students (assigned at random) was exposed to "Each day I am getting better in math." The control group of 8students was exposed to a neutral message, "People are walking on the street." All 18students participated in a summer program designed to improve their math skills, and all took the assessment test again at the end of the program. The following table gives data on the subjects' scores before and after the program.

a. Explain why a two-sample t-test and not a paired t-test is the appropriate inference procedure in this setting.

b. The following boxplots display the differences in pretest and post-test scores for the students in the control (C) and treatment (T) groups. Write a few sentences comparing the performance of these two groups.

c. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the =0.01,3051526=0.200=20%significance level that subliminal messages help students like the ones in this study learn math, on average?

d. Can we generalize these results to the population of all students who failed the mathematics part of the City University of New York Skills Assessment Test? Why or why not?

A study of the impact of caffeine consumption on reaction time was designed to correct for the impact of subjects鈥 prior sleep deprivation by dividing the 24subjects into 12pairs on the basis of the average hours of sleep they had had for the previous 5 nights. That is, the two with the highest average sleep were a pair, then the two with the next highest average sleep, and so on. One randomly assigned member of each pair drank 2cups of caffeinated coffee, and the other drank 2cups of decaf. Each subject鈥檚 performance on a Page Number: 690standard reaction-time test was recorded. Which of the following is the correct check of the 鈥淣ormal/Large Sample鈥 condition for this significance test?

I. Confirm graphically that the scores of the caffeine drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

II. Confirm graphically that the scores of the decaf drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

III. Confirm graphically that the differences in scores within each pair of subjects could have come from a Normal distribution.

a. I only

b. II only

c. III only

d. I and II only

e. I, I, and III

School A has 400students and School B has 2700students. A local newspaper wants to compare the distributions of SAT scores for the two schools. Which of the following would be the most useful for making this comparison?

a. Back-to-back stem plots for A and B

b. A scatterplot of A versus B

c. Two dot plots for A and B drawn on the same scale

d. Two relative frequency histograms of A and B drawn on the same scale

e. Two bar graphs for A and B drawn on the same scale
