Q18
The NCHS report indicated that in 2000 the prevalence of teen smoking was 14.1%. A researcher gathered data on teen smoking from the same year and found about 20% of his sample of teens (n=212) smoked. Based on hypothesis testing to detect a difference between the prevalence of smoking in this researcher's sample compared and the NCHS prevalence, which one of the following statements is correct? (Alpha level is set at 0.05.)
We fail to reject the null hypothesis at the alpha level of .05.
One should run a one-sample t test to answer this research question.
A one-sample test of proportion cannot be conducted to answer this research question, because the assumption, Min[np0, n(1-p0)] equal to or greater than 5, is violated.
The obtained test statistic value is 2.47.

Current data provided by the 2010 census indicates that the prevalence of breast cancer in the US is still on the rise, while the mortality rates have slightly declined over time. A researcher at a local health department conducts an observational study to determine the prevalence in a particular region. The researcher gathers 2,168 participants and confirms 350 cases of breast cancer in her sample. Assuming the census data indicates a national prevalence of 23.5%, conduct a formal statistical test...

Independent t-Test: A researcher examines the short-term effect of a single treatment with acupuncture on cigarette smoking. Subjects who smoke ~ 1 ppd are assigned to one of two groups. One group (M2) receives acupuncture the second is a control group (M1) with no acupuncture. The number of cigarettes smoked the next day is recorded. You want to know if acupuncture will decrease cigarette smoking with alpha level of .05. n= 8 M1 = 20.5 M2= 11.125 ...

Hypothesis Testing Example 7: Steps in Hypothesis Testing: A manufacturer claims that the thickness of the spearmint gum it produces is 7.5 one- hundredths of an inch. A quality control specialist regularly checks this claim. On one production run, he took a random sample of n= 10 pieces of gum and measured their thickness. The quality control specialist's hypotheses are: HO: 1. Step 1: State Hypotheses 2. Step 2: Select alpha, Draw Picture, Label Critical Values and Rejection Region(s) 3....

Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 26.2 with a standard deviation...
