Steroids in high school Refer to Exercise 16.

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. p1p2and evidence for alternative hypothesis is present.

b. The Pvalue is 0.6600and test statistics value is 0.44.

c. There is no evidence that proportion of high school freshmen in Illinois that used anabolic steroids is different from the proportion of high school seniors in Illinois that used anabolic steroids.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that x1=34

x2=24

n1=1679

n2=1366

Researchers want to know if there is a difference in the proportion of all Illinois high school freshmen and seniors who have used anabolic steroids or not.

02

Why Sample results give evidence for Alternative Hypothesis

Claim is difference between proportions.

The appropriate hypothesis:

Null: H0:p1=p2

Alternative: Ha:p1p2

p1is proportion of high school freshmen in Illinois that used anabolic steroids and p2is proportion of high school seniors in Illinois that used anabolic steroids.

Sample proportion is role="math" localid="1654710840637" p^1=x1n1=341679=0.02025

and p^2=x2n2=241366=0.01757

p1p2 and proportion of high school freshmen in Illinois that used anabolic steroids is different from the proportion of high school seniors in Illinois that used anabolic steroids.

03

P value and test statistics

As p^1=0.02025and p^2=0.01757

and p^p=x1+x2n1+n2=34+241679+1366=0.02836

Value of test statistics is

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

role="math" localid="1654711122778" =0.02025-0.01757-00.02836(1-0.02836)11679+113660.44

Probability is P=P(Z<-0.44orZ>0.44)

=2P(Z<-0.44)

=2(0.3300)

=0.6600

04

Conclusion

From given data and above calculations

P>0.05Fail to RejectH0

There is no convincing evidence that the proportion of high school freshmen in Illinois that used anabolic steroids is different from the proportion of high school seniors in Illinois that used anabolic steroids.

a. much smaller than 0.52.

Broken crackers We don鈥檛 like to find broken crackers when we open the package. How can makers reduce breaking? One idea is to microwave the crackers for 30seconds right after baking them. Randomly assign 65newly baked crackers to the microwave and another 65to a control group that is not microwaved. After 1day, none of the microwave group were broken and 16of the control group were broken. Let p1be the true proportions of crackers like these that would break if baked in the microwave and p2be the true proportions of crackers like these that would break if not microwaved. Check if the conditions for calculating a confidence interval forp1-p2met.
