In 2008, data from the Center for Disease Control revealed that 28.5% of all male teenagers, aged 18-19 and attending U.S. colleges were overweight. The definition of overweight is a body mass index (BMI) of over 25.
In 2019, a professor in public health at a major university wanted to determine whether that proportion had decreased since 2008. So, he sampled 800 randomly selected incoming male freshman at universities around the country. Using the BMI measurements, he found that 210 of them were overweight. Test the professor’s claim at an α = 0.05 level of significance, the proportion of obese male teenagers in American colleges decreased. Make sure that any necessary assumptions for conducting the hypothesis test are satisfied.

B) Determine the critical value(s) for the test.
C) Compute the test statistic (show your work).
D) Make your decision.
E) State your conclusion in terms of the professor’s claim.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) H0 : u = 28.5%

H1 : u < 28.5%

b) critical value = - 1.645

c) test statistic Z= - 1.41

d) Fail to reject H0

e) There is not enough evidence to support the professor's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P = 28.5% ≈ 0.285

X = 210

n = 800

[tex] p' = \frac{X}{n} = \frac{210}{800} = 0.2625 [/tex]

Level of significance = 0.05

a) The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H0 : u = 28.5%

H1 : u < 28.5%

b) Given a 0.05 significance level.

This is a left tailed test.

The critical value =

[tex] -Z_0.05 = -1.645 [/tex]

The critical value = -1.645

c) Calculating the test statistic, we have:

[tex]Z = \frac{p' - P}{\sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.2625 - 0.285}{\sqrt{\frac{28.5(1-28.5)}{800}}}[/tex]

Z = -1.41

d) Decision:

We fail to reject null hypothesis H0, since Z = -1.41 is not in the rejection region, <1.645

e) There is not enough evidence to support the professor's claim that the proportion of obese male teenagers decreased.

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 250 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer?








b. If we stipulate that a baby is premature if the length of the pregnancy is in the lowest 8% (8th percentile), find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.005% probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer

b) The pregnancy length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature is 229 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 250, \sigma = 15[/tex]

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 308. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{308 - 250}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.87[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.87[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.99995

1 - 0.99995 - 0.00005

0.005% probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer

b. If we stipulate that a baby is premature if the length of the pregnancy is in the lowest 8% (8th percentile), find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

The 8th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.08. So it is X when Z = -1.405.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.405 = \frac{X - 250}{15}[/tex]

[tex]X - 250 = -1.405*15[/tex]

[tex]X = -1.405*15 + 250[/tex]

[tex]X = 229[/tex]

The pregnancy length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature is 229 days.

A vendor at a street fair sells popcorn in cones, all of height 9 inches. The
sharing-size cone has 3 times the radius of the skinny-size cone. About how
many times more popcorn does the sharing cone hold than the skinny cone?

Answers

Answer:

The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by the following formula:

[tex]V = \frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}[/tex]

In which r is the radius and h is the height.

Two cones:

Both have the same height.

The sharing-size cone has 3 times the radius of the skinny-size cone.

Skinny:

radius r, height h. So

[tex]V_{sk} = \frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}[/tex]

Sharing size:

radius 3r, height h. So

[tex]V_{sh} = \frac{\pi (3r)^{2}h}{3} = \frac{9\pi r^{2}h}{3} = 3\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

About how many times more popcorn does the sharing cone hold than the skinny cone?

[tex]r = \frac{V_{sh}}{V_{sk}} = \frac{3\pi r^{2}h}{\frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}} = \frac{3*3\pi r^{2}h}{\pi r^{2}h} = 9[/tex]

The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.

Ryan randomly draws equal sized cards labeled with letters A, B, C, D and F from a hat and records the results in the table. Find the theoretical and experimental probabilities of randomly drawing a card that is labeled with the letter C. Frequency A 36, B 50, C 111, D 59, F 44 total 300

Answers

Answer:

We have 5 cards, and if we assume that the probability of selecting a given card at random is the same for all the cards, then the probability of randomly drawing the card C out of the 5 cards is equal to:

P = 1/5 = 0.20

Now, for the experimental probability, we can see that out of 300 draws, 111 times he drew the card C.

The experimental probability is:

Pe = 111/300 = 0.37

You can see that the experimental probability is bigger than the theoretical one, this may happen for two things.

Not enough draws: as the number of draws, we should expect to see that the experimental probability gets closer and closer to the theoretical one.

The cards have some difference: There is a chance that card C has a difference with the other cards, and this difference makes that when Ryan draws a card has a bigger probability of drawing this one.

A pollen grain is 3/10 to the third power centimeters wide. In an illustration, the pollen grain is 6 centimeters 10 wide. How much larger is the illustration than the actual pollen?

Answers

Answer:

The illustration is approximately 226 times larder than the actual pollen grain.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to write out the size of the actual pollen grain in a manner that is easy for us to work with.

This will be

[tex](\frac{3}{10}) ^{3}=0.027cm[/tex] wide

The original width of the pollen is 0.027 cm.

Next,

We can take the width of the illustration to be 6.10 cm  wide.

After this,

To get the magnification factor, we will have to use the formula

Magnification = illustrated size/ actual size

This will be the magnification = [tex]6.10/0.027[/tex] = 255.92 times

Hence, the illustration is approximately 226 times larder than the actual pollen grain.

23. A popular brand of AAA batteries has an effective use time of 12.3 hours, on average. A startup company claims that their AAA batteries last longer. The startup company tested 24,000 of their new batteries and computed a mean effective use time of 12.32 hours. Although the difference is quite small (72 seconds—or just over a minute), the effect was statistically significant (P-value < 0.0001).

It is appropriate to conclude which of the following?

A) The startup company has strong evidence that their AAA batteries last longer, on average.
B) The startup company has moderate evidence that their AAA batteries last longer, on average.
C) The startup company has proved that their AAA batteries last longer, on average.
D) None of the answer choices are correct. With such a large sample size, statistically significant results may not be of any practical importance.

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the difference is quite small (72 seconds—or just over a minute), the effect was statistically significant (P-value < 0.0001).

Since the P-value was less than 0.0001, the null hypothesis in this case can be rejected (H₀: ∪=12.3), concluding that the startup company has moderate/enough evidence that their AAA batteries last longer, on average.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 12.3

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ > 12.3

This is a right tailed test.

The decision rule is to accept the null hypothesis if the significance level is lesser than the p value and reject the null hypothesis if the significance level is greater than the p value.

Let us assume a significance level of 0.05.

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p 0.0001, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

The correct option would be

A) The startup company has strong evidence that their AAA batteries last longer, on average.

The difference between the most hours of sleep and the least of these students was 2.5 hours. True or false?​

Answers

The correct anwer is False

Explanation

According to the graph, it can be seen that a student has four hours of sleep as the minimum number of hours of sleep; two students have six hours of sleep, four students have six and a half hours of sleep, four have seven hours of sleep, three have seven and a half hours of sleep, five have eight hours of sleep, and one has eight and a half hours of sleep as maximum hours of sleep. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the statement that the difference between the maximum amount and the minimum number of hours is two and a half hours is false because between four hours and eight and a half hours there are four and a half hours of difference. So, the correct answer is False.

Prob-4 Pressurized air are being used in a manufacturing company in its daily operation. There are three compressors in service; two-screw type compressors, (S1 ,S2) and one-reciprocal type compressor,(R). Each compressor, at any given time, is either off (0), or on (1) . Assume that event A is denoted to reciprocal compressor (R) that is always off . Event B is denoted that at least one of the screw type of compressor is always on. Assume that all outcomes in event B are equally likely. If P(A∩B)=45% and P(A∪B)=93%. Compute the probability that all compressors are off

Answers

Answer:

The probability that all compressors are off = P(A ∩ B') = 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Event A is denoted to reciprocal compressor (R) that is always off.

Event B is denoted that at least one of the screw type of compressor is always on.

P(A) = Probability that the reciprocal compressor is off.

P(A') = Probability that the reciprocal compressor is on.

P(B) = Probability that at least one of the screw type of compressor is on.

P(B') = Probability that at least one of the screw type of compressor is off.

P(A ∩ B) = 45% = 0.45

P(A ∪ B) = 93% = 0.93

P(U) = P(A ∪ B) + P(A' ∩ B')

1 = 0.93 + P(A' ∩ B')

P(A' ∩ B') = 1 - 0.93 = 0.07

The probability that all compressors are off is given as P(A ∩ B')

P(A) = P(A n B') + P(A n B)

P(B) = P(A n B) + P(A' n B)

The question asks us to assume that all outcomes in event B are equally likely.

The possible outcomes in event B include

- The two compressors are on

- First compressor is on, second compressor is off

- Second compressor is on, first compressor is off

- both compressors are off

Since all the outcomes are equally likely, the probability that at least one of the two compressors is on = (3/4) = 0.75 = P(B)

P(B) = P(A n B) + P(A' n B)

0.75 = 0.45 + P(A' n B)

P(A' n B) = 0.75 - 0.45 = 0.30

P(A ∪ B) = P(A ∩ B') + P(A' ∩ B) + P(A ∩ B)

0.93 = P(A ∩ B') + 0.30 + 0.45

P(A ∩ B') = 0.93 - 0.30 - 0.45 = 0.18
