Question

For each of the following, determine if they are most likely a sample statistic, a population statistic, or are not a statistic at all. A researcher is studying penguins, and wants to determine what percentage of penguin baby's survive their first year. A student is completing a researcher project, and collects 500 subjects for an experiment. She records their average weight at the start and end of the experiment. You are considering buying a phone, so you talk to friends to see which phone they like best. A developer wants to determine what percentage of potential customers would purchase their game on the app store if it were priced at $5.

A large retailer observes the percentage of customers who leave its stores with a purchase. It would like to investigate if the percentage of women who leave the store with a purchase is lower than the percentage of men. In a random sample of 180 female shoppers, 145 left the store with a purchase. In a random sample of 170 male shoppers, 135 left the store with a purchase. Complete parts a and b below. a. Perform a hypothesis test with α = 0.10 to determine if the percentage of women who leave the store with a purchase is lower than the percentage of men. Let population 1 be women and population 2 be men. What are the correct null and alternative hypotheses? A. H0: p1 − p2 = 0 H1: p1 − p2 ≠ 0 B. H0: p1 − p2 > 0 H1: p1 − p2 ≤ 0 C. H0: p1 − p2 ≥ 0 H1: p1 − p2 < 0 D. H0: p1 − p2 ≠ 0 H1: p1 − p2 = 0 What is the test statistic? zp = (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Suppose across all cities in Florida, the proportion of young adults (ages 20 to 30) who have attended a roller derby match is 0.31. Tyree believes that the proportion of young adults in his city who have attended a roller derby match is greater than the state population proportion. He decides to test this idea using a one-sample z-test for a population proportion using a significance level of ̑ = 0.01. He conducts a survey of 150 randomly selected people aged 20 to 30 in his community and finds that 54 of them have attended a roller derby match. His sample data, along with the significance level, are summarized in the table. Sample Size: 150 Sample Count: 54 Sample Proportion: 0.36 Probability Value: 0.093 Significance Level: 0.01 Identify the null (H0) and alternative (H1) hypotheses for Tyree's test. Then determine what decision Tyree should make about the null hypothesis.

A marketing consultant was hired to visit a random sample of five sporting goods stores across the state of California. Each store was part of a large franchise of sporting goods stores. The consultant taught the managers of each store better ways to advertise and display their goods. The net sales for the month before and the month after the consultant's visit were recorded as follows for each store (in thousands of dollars): Store Before Visit After Visit 1 52.3 63.3 2 94.8 101.4 3 42.2 52.8 4 77.4 81.2 5 43.2 - Do the data indicate that the average net sales improved? Use α = 0.05. (Let d = before - after.) What are we testing in this problem? - Paired difference What is the level of significance? - α = 0.05 State the null and alternate hypotheses: - H0: μd = 0; H1: μd > 0 - H0: μd = 0; H1: μd < 0 - H0: μd = 0; H1: μd ≠ 0 What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? - The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places): - (not provided) Estimate the P-value: - P-value > 0.250 - 0.125 < P-value < 0.250 - 0.050 < P-value < 0.125 - 0.025 < P-value < 0.050 - 0.005 < P-value < 0.025 - P-value < 0.005

00:01 Once again, welcome to the new problem.
00:05 This time we're dealing with inferential statistics.
00:09 We're dealing with inferential statistics.
00:15 And when it comes to inferential statistics, we have hypothesis testing.
00:27 We have hypothesis testing.
00:29 And under hypothesis testing, we have hypothesis testing.
00:33 Testing for proportions and within proportions we have two sample, two sample proportions.
00:45 That's what you're looking for, two sample proportions.
00:48 And the z test for two sample proportions is p -hat 1 minus p -hirt 2, minus p -2, where this becomes zero, because this is the hypothetical.
01:07 Hypothesized difference, hypothesized difference in proportions.
01:17 And of course, we also have the square root of p hat, 1 minus p hat, 1 over n1 over n2.
01:34 And this is the sample for the first proportion and the second one represents the sample for the second proportion.
01:55 So we have the sample for the first proportion and the sample for the second proportion.
02:03 We're looking at a new problem and in this particular problem we have a percentage of of customers and these customers happen to be leaving the store with some parches and the understanding is that the percentage of women living the store with the patches is lower than the percentage of men.
02:30 So we have a random sample and one is 180 female shoppers and x1 is 140 female shoppers and x1 is 145 left with purchases and then for the males we have in 270 male shoppers in 135 left with the purchase so at alpha equals to 0 .10 we want to determine if the percentage of females or women leaving the store with the purchase is lower than the percentage of men so that's what we want to we want to determine the now and alternative hypothesis and also we want to determine the test statistic.
03:24 So coming back to this problem, the now hypothesis is p1 equals to p2.
03:32 These are the two proportions and therefore we can write this as p1 minus p2 equals to zero.
03:40 So that's one aspect of the problem.
03:44 And then the alternative hypotheses, the alternative hypotheses is, so it's the opposite.
03:54 So this is the opposite.
03:55 So we put greater than right there.
03:58 And so this is also going to be greater than right there.
04:01 The alternative hypotheses is that p1 is less than p2, or we can write it as p1 minus p2, is less than zero.
04:15 The test statistic happens to be the z test, and so we have z equals to p -hat -1 minus p -hat -2, all of a radical p -hat -1 minus p -hat, 1 over n1 plus 1 over n2...
