Q1. Consider parts (a - d) in Question 1 above. The test statistic and corresponding p-value are provided for each analysis below. For each analysis, assuming a significance level of 1%, provide a written conclusion in one to two complete sentences using the test results provided.
a. Source: UK National General Practice Study of Epilepsy Setting: Test the claim that those patients with idiopathic/cryptogenic epilepsy have a lower average life expectancy than the UK general population. Results: Test statistic of t = - 2.530 with a corresponding p-value of .006.
b. Setting: Test the claim that the mean level of bacteriuria in the urine (cfu)/mL for diabetic patients exceeds the typical threshold level of 105 (cfu)/mL. Results: Test statistic of t = 1.276 with a corresponding p-value of .104.
c. Setting: Test the claim that patients with anxiety and/or depression do not get an average of 7 hours of sleep per night. Results: Test statistic of t = - 2.887 with a corresponding p-value of .003.
d. Setting: Test the claim that the average cost of delivery for a patient requiring a C-section is greater than a typical, vaginal delivery (i.e., greater than $18,000). Results: Test statistic of t = 2.811 with a corresponding p-value of .009.
Q2. Consider parts (a - d) in February 20 Question 1 - 2 above. For each analysis, provide a written description (in one to two complete sentences) of both a Type I Error and a Type II Error.
