Chapter 10: Q 34. (page 644)

In an experiment to learn whether substance M can help restore memory, the brains of 20rats were treated to damage their memories. First, the rats were trained to run a maze. After a day, 10rats (determined at random) were given substance M and 7of them succeeded in the maze. Only 2of the 10control rats were successful. The two-sample z test for the difference in the true proportions

a. gives z=2.25,P<0.02 .

b. gives z=2.60,P<0.005 .

c. gives z=2.25,P<0.04 but not<0.02

d. should not be used because the Random condition is violated.

e. should not be used because the Large Counts condition is violated.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (e) is correct.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that Normal requirement requires that the number of failures in the number of successes in both samples are greater than 10 .

02

Explanation

In first sample, there are 7successes and 2successes in second sample. Normal condition is not satisfied.

It should not be used as normal condition is violated.

Option (e) is correct.

Young adults living at home A surprising number of young adults (ages 19

to 25) still live in their parents鈥� homes. The National Institutes of Health surveyed

independent random samples of 2253men and 2629women in this age group. The survey found that 986 of the men and 923 of the women lived with their parents.

a. Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval for the difference in the true

proportions of men and women aged 19-25who live in their parents鈥� homes.

b. Does your interval from part (a) give convincing evidence of a difference between the population proportions? Justify your answer.

Treating AIDS The drug AZT was the first drug that seemed effective in delaying

the onset of AIDS. Evidence for AZT鈥檚 effectiveness came from a large randomized

comparative experiment. The subjects were 870volunteers who were infected with HIV,

the virus that causes AIDS, but did not yet have AIDS. The study assigned 435of the

subjects at random to take 500milligrams of AZT each day and another 435to take a

placebo. At the end of the study, 38of the placebo subjects and 17of the AZT subjects

had developed AIDS.

a. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05level that taking AZT lowers the proportion of infected people like the ones in this study

who will develop AIDS in a given period of time?

b. Describe a Type I error and a Type II error in this setting and give a consequence of

each error.

Response bias Does the appearance of the interviewer influence how people respond to a survey question? Ken (white, with blond hair) and Hassan (darker, with Middle Eastern features) conducted an experiment to address this question. They took turns (in a random order) walking up to people on the main street of a small town, identifying themselves as students from a local high school, and asking them, 鈥淒o you support President Obama鈥檚 decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq?鈥� Of the 50people Hassan spoke to, 11said 鈥淵es,鈥� while 21of the 44people Ken spoke to said 鈥淵es.鈥� Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people like these who would say they support President Obama鈥檚 decision when asked by Hassan versus when asked by Ken.

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 伪=0.01 significance level?

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

Which of the following statements is false?

a. A measure of center alone does not completely summarize a distribution of quantitative data.

b. If the original measurements are in inches, converting them to centimeters will not change the mean or standard deviation.

c. One of the disadvantages of a histogram is that it doesn鈥檛 show each data value.

d. In a quantitative data set, adding a new data value equal to the mean will decrease the standard deviation.

e. If a distribution of quantitative data is strongly skewed, the median and interquartile range should be reported rather than the mean and standard deviation.
