Are teenagers going deaf? In a study of 3000randomly selected teenagers in 1990,450showed some hearing loss. In a similar study of 1800 teenagers reported in 2010,351showed some hearing loss.

a. Do these data give convincing evidence that the proportion of all teens with hearing

loss has increased at the =0.01 significance level?

b. Interpret the P-value from part (a) in the context of this study.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. There is convincing evidence that the proportion of all teens with hearing loss has increased over the years.

b. Probability is approximately equal to zero.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that x1=450

x2=351

n1=3000

n2=1800

=0.01

Claim: Population of all teens with hearing loss is higher in2010

02

To explain if data give convincing evidence that the proportion of all teens with hearing loss has increased at the α=0.01 significance level or not.

The hypothesis is:

Null: H0:p1=p2

Alternative: Ha:p1<p2

p1is proportion of teens in 1990with hearing loss and p2is \text { proportion of teens in 2010with hearing loss.

Conditions are:

Random: Teenagers are independent random samples.

Independent: 3000<10%in1990and 1800<10%in2010

Normal: Success are 450,351and failures are 3000-450=2550and 1800-351=1449. All are greater than ten.

All condition are satisfied. Hypothesis test can be performed.

Sample Proportion: p^1=x1n1=4503000=0.15

p^2=x2n2=3511800=0.195

and p^p=x1+x2n1+n2=450+3513000+1800=8004800=0.1667

Test statistics:

z=p^1-p^2-p1-p2p^p1-p^p1n1+1n2=0.15-0.195-00.1667(1-0.1667)13000+11800-4.05

Probability: P=P(Z<-4.05)0

Also, P<0.01RejectH0

So, there is convincing evidence that the proportion of all teens with hearing loss has increased over the years.

03

Step 3: P value

As P0

There is a very small chance of obtaining similar test results or more extreme when the proportion of all teens with hearing loss is greater in 2010 compared to 1990 .

A survey asked a random sample of U.S. adults about their political party affiliation and how long they thought they would survive compared to most people in their community if an apocalyptic disaster were to strike. The responses are summarized in the following two-way table.

Suppose we select one of the survey respondents at random. Which of the following probabilities is the largest?

a. P(Independent and Longer)

b. P(Independent or Not as long)

c. P(Democrat 3051526=0.200=20.0%| Not as long)

d. P(About as long 3051526=0.200=20.0%| Democrat)

e. P(About as long)

Shortly before the 2012presidential election, a survey was taken by the school newspaper at a very large state university. Randomly selected students were asked, 鈥淲hom do you plan to vote for in the upcoming presidential election?鈥 Here is a two-way table of the responses by political persuasion for 1850students:

Which of the following statements about these data is true?

a. The percent of Republicans among the respondents is 41%.

b. The marginal relative frequencies for the variable choice of candidate are given by

Obama: 55.6%; Romney: 37.6%; Other: 1.1%; Undecided: 5.7%.

c. About 11.2%of Democrats reported that they planned to vote for Romney.

d. About 44.6%of those who are undecided are Independents.

e. The distribution of political persuasion among those for whom Romney is the

candidate of choice is Democrat: 7.5%; Republican: 84.0%; Independent: 18.8%.

Flight times The pilot suspects that the Dubai-to-Doha outbound flight typically takes longer. If so, the difference (Outbound鈭扲eturn) in flight times will be positive on more days than it is negative. What if either flight is equally likely to take longer? Then we can model the outcome on a randomly selected day with a coin toss. Heads means the Dubai-to-Doha outbound flight lasts longer; tails means the Doha-to-Dubai return flight lasts longer. To imitate a random sample of 12days, imagine tossing a fair coin 12times.

a. Find the probability of getting 11or more heads in 12tosses of a fair coin.

b. The outbound flight took longer on 11of the 12days. Based on your result in part (a), what conclusion would you make about the Emirates pilot鈥檚 suspicion?

Happy customers As the Hispanic population in the United States has grown, businesses have tried to understand what Hispanics like. One study interviewed separate random samples of Hispanic and Anglo customers leaving a bank. Customers were classified as Hispanic if they preferred to be interviewed in Spanish or as Anglo if they preferred English. Each customer rated the importance of several aspects of bank service on a 10- point scale.25 Here are summary results for the importance of 鈥渞eliability鈥 (the accuracy of account records, etc.):

Researchers want to know if there is a difference in the mean reliability ratings of all Anglo and Hispanic bank customers.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameters of interest.

b. Check that the conditions for performing the test are met.

Artificial trees? An association of Christmas tree growers in Indiana wants to know if there is a difference in preference for natural trees between urban and rural households. So the association sponsored a survey of Indiana households that had a Christmas tree last year to find out. In a random sample of 160rural households, 64had a natural tree. In a separate random sample of 261urban households, 89had a natural tree. A 95%confidence interval for the difference (Rural 鈥 Urban) in the true proportion of households in each population that had a natural tree is -0.036to0.154. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the two population proportions are equal? Explain your answer.
