A researcher studied iron-deficiency anemia in women in each of two developing countries. Differences in the dietary habits between the two countries led theresearcher to believe that anemia is less prevalent among women in the first country than among women in the second country. A random sample of 2200women from the first country yielded 457 women with anemia, and an independently chosen, random sample of 1700 women from the second country yielded372 women with anemia.Based on the study can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p₁ of women with anemia in the first country is less than theproportion p₂ of women with anemia in the second country?Perform a one-tailed test.

A study is designed to test whether there is a difference in mean daily calcium intake in adults with normal bone density, adults with osteopenia (a low bone density which may lead to osteoporosis) and adults with osteoporosis. Adults 60 years of age with normal bone density, osteopenia and osteoporosis are selected at random from hospital records and invited to participate in the study. Each participant's daily calcium intake is measured based on reported food intake and supplements. The data are shown below. Is there a statistically significant difference in mean calcium intake in patients with normal bone density as compared to patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis?
A researcher assembled two groups of individuals suffering from symptoms of the common cold. Group A was instructed to take a new supplement three times a day. Group B was simply advised to take over the counter remedies. At the end of the trial period, 90% of the individuals from Group A had less symptoms, and 25% of the individuals from Group B had less symptoms. a) Was this study observational or experimental? Why?b) What was the explanatory variable? What was the response variable?
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations mandated that hospitals ban smoking by 1994. To study the effects of this ban on smoking behaviors, subjects were randomly selected from two different populations: those from hospitals with the ban and those from hospitals without the ban. Investigators were interested in determining if this smoking ban had any impact on the proportion of smokers employed at each hospital that then quit smoking. Among 843 smoking employees of hospitals with the smoking ban, 56 quit smoking during the study period. Among 703 smoking employees from workplaces without the smoking ban, 27 quit smoking during the study period. Below is the Stata output that was run to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between these two proportions at the α=0.05 level. A. What is the estimate of the proportion of smokers from the hospitals that implemented the ban that quit smoking (the blank labeled "C" in the above output)?…
There is growing concern over a possible causal link between consumption of diet soda and obesity. Gallup took in 2013 a nationally representative sample of 2027 adults and asked them about their soda consumption. In the sample, 921 adults described themselves as overweight, and 295 of them said that they mostly drink diet soda. The remaining 1106 adults described themselves as about right weight, and 210 of them said that they mostly drink diet soda. Is there evidence at 1% level that the proportions of adults who mostly drink diet soda with overweight and with about right weight are different? Which method will you use to perform the test? Choose the correct one. 1-sample T test 2-sample T test 2-sample Z test. 2-proportion Z test What is the pooled proportion? State the null and alternative hypotheses: Which distribution will you use for your test? Give the test statistic: Find the p-value: Decision and Conclusion:
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in the U.S. in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumers ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a different proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at 5% level.
The technology underlying hip replacements has changed as these operations havebecome more popular (over 250,000 in the United States in 2008). Starting in 2003,highly durable ceramic hips were marketed. Unfortunately, for too many patients theincreased durability has been counterbalanced by an increased incidence ofsqueaking. The May 11, 2008, issue of the New York Times reported that in one studyof 143 individuals who received ceramic hips between 2003 and 2005, 10 of the hipsdeveloped squeaking.a. Calculate a lower confidence bound at the 95% confidence level for the trueproportion of such hips that develop squeaking.b. Interpret the 95% confidence level used in (a).
A researcher studied iron-deficiency anemia in women in each of two developing countries. Differences in the dietary habits between the two countries led the researcher to believe that anemia is less prevalent among women in the first country than among women in the second country. A random sample of 2400 women from the first country yielded 461 women with anemia, and an independently chosen, random sample of 2200 women from the second country yielded 440 women with anemia. Based on the study can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the proportion p₁ of women with anemia in the first country is less than the proportion p₂ of women with anemia in the second country?
