Adults aged 18 years old and older were randomly selected for a survey on obesity. Adults are considered obese if their body mass index (BMI) is at least 30. The researchers wanted to determine if the proportion of women who are obese in the south is less than the proportion of southern men who are obese. The results are shown in Table 10.27. Test at the 1% level of significance.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The null hypothesis is stated as follows: p1≤p2

(b) The alternate hypothesis is stated as follows: p1>p2

(c) The disparity between male and female proportions is the random variable.

(d) Two proportions have a normal distribution.

(e) Fill in all requirements using Minitab's two-sample t-test option. Test statistics - 2.47

(f) p-value = 0.001

(g) i. α=0.01

ii. Decision: Null hypothesis not rejected

iii. p-value greater than α

iv. There is insufficient data to infer that the proportion of males who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is greater than the proportion of women at the 5%level of significance.

Test and CI for two proportions

SampleXNSample P
1427691555250.274998
2671692487750.269999

Difference is p(1)−p(2)
Estimate for difference: 0.00499859

Difference isp(1)−p(2)
Estimate for difference:0.00499859
95 s CI for difference is (0.00217582,0.00782136)
Test for difference =0( vs not =0):2=3.47

P-Value is 0.001
Fisher's exact test: P-Value=0.001

90. Researchers interviewed street prostitutes in Canada and the United States. The mean age of the 100 Canadian prostitutes upon entering prostitution was 18 with a standard deviation of six. The mean age of the 130 United States prostitutes upon entering prostitution was 20 with a standard deviation of eight. Is the mean age of entering prostitution in Canada lower than the mean age in the United States? Test at a 1% significance level.

It is thought that teenagers sleep more than adults on average. A study is done to verify this. A sample of 16 teenagers has a mean of 8.9 hours slept and a standard deviation of 1.2. A sample of 12 adults has a mean of 6.9 hours slept and a standard deviation of 0.6.

95. A group of transfer bound students wondered if they will spend the same mean amount on texts and supplies each year at their four-year university as they have at their community college. They conducted a random survey of 54 students at their community college and 66 students at their local four-year university. The sample means were \(947 and \)1,011, respectively. The population standard deviations are known to be \(254and \)87, respectively. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the means are statistically the same.

Two types of phone operating system are being tested to determine

if there is a difference in the proportions of system failures (crashes). Fifteen out of a random sample of 150 phones with OS1had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. Nine out of another random sample of 150 phones with OS2had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. OS2is believed to be more stable (have fewer crashes) than OS1.

What can you conclude about the two operating systems?

Use the following information to answer the next two exercises. A new AIDS prevention drug was tried on a group of 224 HIV positive patients. Forty-five patients developed AIDS after four years. In a control group of 224 HIV positive patients, 68 developed AIDS after four years. We want to test whether the method of treatment reduces the proportion of patients that develop AIDS after four years or if the proportions of the treated group and the untreated group stay the same.

Let the subscript t=treated patient and ut=untreated patient.
