1 Unit 0 Review #3 Name: Date:. Suppose a random sample of 380 married couples found that 54 had two or more personality preferences in common. In another random sample of 573 married couples, it was found that only 6 had no preferences in common. Let p be the population proportion of all married couples who have two or more personality preferences in common. Let p be the population proportion of all married couples who have no personality preferences in common. Find a 98% confidence interval for p p. A) to 0.70 D) 0.57 to 0.79 B) 0.60 to 0.66 E) 0.57 to C) to = 6 communities in western Kansas gave the following information for people under 5 years of age. x : Rate of hay fever per 000 population for people under = 4 regions in western Kansas gave the following information for people x : Rate of hay fever per 000 population for people over data indicate that the age group over 50 has a lower rate of hay fever? Use α = If < P- value < 0.0, will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at confidence level α? A) Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, the data are statistically significant. Thus, we reject the null hypothesis. B) Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, the data are statistically significant. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. C) Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, the data are not statistically significant. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. D) Since the P-value is greater than the level of significance, the data are not statistically significant. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. E) Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, the data are not statistically significant. Thus, we reject the null hypothesis. Statistics - Ms. Metheny Page

Carry four digits after the decimal in your calculations. A) reject the null hypothesis B) fail to reject the null hypothesis 6. If an 85% confidence interval for the difference of proportions contains some positive and some negative values, what can we conclude about the relationship between p and p at the 85% confidence level? A) p < p B) p > p C) We cannot conclude that p < p or p > p. Statistics - Ms. Metheny Page

4 Unit 0 Review #3. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is sleep during which most dreams occur. Each night a person has both REM and non-rem sleep. However, it is thought that children have more REM sleep than adults. Assume that REM sleep time is normally distributed for both children and adults. Suppose that a random sample of n = children (9 years old) showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x = 3.8 hours per night. From previous studies it is known that σ = 0.7 hour. Suppose that another random sample of n = adults showed that they had an average REM sleep time of x = 3.0 hours per night. Previous studies show that σ = 0.9 hour. Will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Use a % level of significance. Are the data statistically significant at this level of significance? A) reject the null hypothesis; no C) fail to reject the null hypothesis; no B) fail to reject the null hypothesis; yes D) reject the null hypothesis; yes 3.
