(a). The population is still all days that Parsnip has been alive, and the parameter of interest is  = the proportion of all days in which Parsnip eats all the food he is given. It is conjectured that the proportion of all days that he has been alive that Parsnip eats all the food he is given is 0.75, and of interest is to test this claim versus the alternative that the proportion of all days in which Parsnip eats all the food he is given is less than 0.75. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses that should be tested.

(b). A simple random sample of 80 days is selected; 56 of those days Parsnip ate all the food he was given, and the other 24 days he did not eat all the food he was given. If appropriate, use this information to test the hypotheses stated in part (a) at significance level  = .10.

A.) Now the population is all senior living facilities in the United States. It is conjectured that the mean number of positive COVID-19 cases per 100 residents is 40, and of interest is to test the conjecture versus the alternative that the mean number of positive COVID-19 cases per 100 residents is different from 40. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses that should be tested. B.) Consider the information and hypotheses specified in the above part a.. A simple...

(a)The population is all VCU faculty, and of interest is to compare the mean number of Zoom meetings they attended in March 2020 to the mean number of face-to-face meetings they attended in March 2020. It is conjectured that the mean number of Zoom meetings in March 2020 and the mean number of face-to-face meetings in March 2020 attended by all VCU faculty are the same, and of interest is to test this conjecture versus the alternative that the two...

Suppose the first population is all face-to-face meetings held in March 2020, the second population is all Zoom meetings held in March 2020, and the parameter of interest is μ1 – μ2 = the difference in the mean length of all face-to-face meetings and the mean length of all Zoom meetings. The meeting lengths are measured in minutes. For both face-to-face meetings and Zoom meetings the distributions of meeting times are skewed heavily to the right due to some meetings...

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Use either the traditional method or P-value method as indicated. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, critical value(s) or P-value (or range of P-values) as appropriate, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A test of sobriety involves measuring the subject's motor skills. Twenty randomly selected sober subjects take the test and produce a mean score...

A large number of complaints has been received in the past six months regarding airlines losing fliers' baggage. The airlines claim the problem is nowhere near as great as the newspaper articles have indicated. In fact, one airline spokesman claimed that less than 1% of all bags fail to arrive at the destination with the passenger. To test this claim, 800 bags were randomly selected at various airports in the United States when they were checked with this airline. Of...

A geriatric research project has been tracking the health and cognitive functions of the elderly population in Arizona. The table below shows the memory test scores from 16 elderly residents, tested first when they were 65 years old and again when they were 75 years old. The researcher wants to know if there is a significant decline in memory functions based on this sample. The alpha level was set at α = .05 for the hypothesis test. Memory score Subject...

The distribution of blood cholesterol level in the population of all male patients 20–34 years of age tested in a large hospital over a 10-year period is close to Normal with standard deviation σ = 48 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). At your clinic, you measure the blood cholesterol of 14 male patients in that age range. The mean level for these 14 patients is x̄ = 180 mg/dL. Assume that σ is the same as in the general male hospital...

A new design for the braking system on a certain type of car has been proposed. For the current system, the true average braking distance at 40 mph under specified conditions is known to be 120 ft. It is proposed that the new design be implemented only if sample data strongly indicates a reduction in true average braking distance for the new design. (a) Define the parameter of interest. μ = true average braking distance for the old design p̂...
