In a certain industry, 15 percent of the workers showed some signs of ill effects due to radiation. After management claimed that improvements had been made, 23 of 140 workers tested experiences some ill effects due to radiation. Use a 0.01 level of significance to conduct a test to determine if in fact the managements improvement claims are correct. Show all work for full credit. a. State the null and alternate hypotheses. b. Compute the test statistic. c. Find the critical value and/or the p value. d. Make a decision and justify it using the critical value and/or the p-value. e. Record an appropriate conclusion in context of this problem.  

If a hypothesis is not rejected at the 5% level of significance is

In order to assess the effects of exercise on reducing cholesterol, a researcher sampled 50 people from a local gym who exercised regularly and 50 people from the surrounding community who did not exercise regularly. They each reported to a clinic to have their cholesterol measured. The subjects were unaware of the purpose of the study, and the technician measuring the cholesterol was not aware of whether subjects exercised regularly or not.
