4. The headline in the Sacramento Bee newspaper read, “Women appear to be better investors than men in study” (Jack Sirard, April 24, 2005, p. D1).  The conclusion was based on a telephone poll of 500 randomly selected men and 500 randomly selected women.  One quote in the article was that “men are much more likely to stick with a losing investment than women are (45% vs 37%).  Of the 500 male investors, 225 decided to stick with a losing investment.  Of the 500 female investors, 185 decided to stick with a losing investment.  The following table displays the data for these two groups. Group n Number who stick with a losing investment Male Investors 500 225 Female Investors 500 185 Test the research hypothesis that the population proportion of male investors who decided to stick with a losing investment is more than that of female investors who decided to stick with a losing investment.  (While answering the following sub-parts of this question, you will be including the null and alternative hypothesis, the test statistic, the p-value (a visualization and an interpretation), your statistical decision, and your conclusion in the context of the problem.) (a) Which of the following best represents the hypothesis for Step 1 of the hypothesis test?

11. In 2004, a random sample of 46 coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be 2.05 years with a standard deviation of 0.82 years.  However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is 1.75 years.  Test the hypothesis that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota live longer than the average of 1.75 years.  (While answering the following sub-parts of this question, you will be including the null and alternative hypothesis, the test statistic, the p-value (a visualization and an interpretation), your statistical decision, and your conclusion in the context of the problem.) (a) Which of the following best represents the hypothesis for Step 1 of the hypothesis test?

6.  A University of South Florida biologist conducted an experiment to determine whether increased levels of carbon dioxide kill leaf-eating moths (USF Magazine, Winter 1999).  Moth larvae were placed in open containers filled with oak leaves.  Half the containers had normal carbon dioxide levels while the other half had twice the normal level of carbon dioxide.  Ten percent of the larvae in the containers with “high” (twice the normal level) carbon dioxide levels died, compared to 5 percent in the containers with normal levels.  Assume that 80 moth larvae were placed, at random, in each of the two types of containers.  Is there enough evidence to conclude that the higher carbon dioxide level is effective in killing a higher percentage of leaf-eating moth larvae?  (While answering the following sub-parts of this question, you will be including the null and alternative hypothesis, the test statistic, the p-value (a visualization and an interpretation), your statistical decision, and your conclusion in the context of the problem.) (a) Which of the following best represents the hypothesis for Step 1 of the hypothesis test?

Cuando era niño, mi mamá pensaba que los jóvenes debían practicar un deporte y tocar un instrumento. Esto me incentivó a jugar futbol y me enseñó a trabajar en equipo, generar confianza y buscar una meta común. También me animó a tocar el piano para mejorar la coordinación entre mi cerebro y mi cuerpo, mi capacidad cognitiva, perseverancia y disciplina. Luego, me interesé más en los pasatiempos y empecé a emplear más tiempo en ellos. Así que comencé a probar otros deportes como el basquetbol y el tenis. También, luego de desarrollar un muy buen gusto por la música, aprendí a tocar otros instrumentos como la guitarra y el violín. Todas estas herramientas fueron construyendo nuevas habilidades que podía utilizar en otras actividades. Mis miedos más grandes cuando era pequeño eran bailar, nadar y cocinar. Hace poco tiempo decidí afrontarlos, por lo que me inscribí en clases de flamenco, clases de natación y clases de cocina. Haber practicado me ayudó con el flamenco y la natación. Además, ahora preparo comidas deliciosas para mi familia todos los domingos. Los pasatiempos me han ayudado a aprender mucho y a sentirme mucho más autosuficiente y confiado de mis propias aptitudes.
