The appropriate corresponding number. 1. Write the claim and the null and the alternate hypotheses. 2. Identify the level of significance. 3. Draw a distribution to represent it and identify the critical value. 4. Write the inequality that identifies the rejection area(s). 5. USE YOUR CALCULATOR to find the test statistic and the p-value. 6. Make a decision about your test. 7. Write a sentence describing your decision about the claim. 1. A medical researcher says that less than 75% of U.S. adults think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated for the COVID virus. In a random sample of 208 U. S. adults, 80.5% think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated for the COVID virus. Use a 1% level of significance to test the researcher's claim.

Identify the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, Ha. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s). Find the appropriate standardized test statistic. If convenient, use technology. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. In a random sample of 1276 U.S. adults, 903 favor using mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students. In another random sample of 1112 U.S. adults taken 9 years ago, 799 favored using mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students. At α = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of U.S. adults who favor mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students is less than it was 9 years ago

Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, PÂvalue or critical value(s), conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. In a randomized controlled trial in Kenya, insecticide bed nets were tested as a way to reduce malaria. Among 343 infants using bed nets, 15 developed malaria. Among 294 infants not using bed nets, 27 developed malaria (based on data from “Sustainability of Reductions in Malaria Transmission and Infant Mortality in Western Kenya with Use of InsecticideÂTreated Bednets,” by Lindblade, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 21). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the incidence of malaria is lower for infants using bednets. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. c. Based on the results, do the bednets appear to be effective?

Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Rhinoviruses typically cause common colds. In a test of the effectiveness of echinacea, 40 of the 45 subjects treated with echinacea developed rhinovirus infections. In a placebo group, 88 of the 103 subjects developed rhinovirus infections (based on data from "An Evaluation of Echinacea Angustifolia in Experimental Rhinovirus Infections," by Turner et al., New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. $353,$ No. 4 ). We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that echinacea has an effect on rhinovirus infections. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. c. Based on the results, does echinacea appear to have any effect on the infection rate?
