1. (2 points) A claim is made that when parents use the XSORT method of gender selection during invitro fertilization, the proportion of baby girls is greater than 0.5. The latest results show that among 945 babies born to couples using the XSORT method of gender selection, 879 were girls. a. (1 point) Express the original claim in symbolic form. b. (1 point) Identify the null and alternative hypothesis. 2. (10 points) A 0.05 significance level is used for a hypothesis test of the claim that when parents use the XSORT method of gender selection, the proportion of baby girls is different from 0.5. Assume that the data consists of 55 girls born in 100 births, so the sample statistic of 0.55 results in a z-score that is 1.00 standard deviation above 0. a.

(8 points) The data set below contains data from a simple random sample of 100 M&Ms, 8 of which are brown (i.e. 8% or the proportion of 8 out of 100 are brown). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim of the Mars Candy Company that the percentage of brown M&Ms is equal to 13%.

(10 points) The data set in problem 3 presents a sample of 100 plain M&M candies that randomly selected (without replacement) from a bag which contained a total of 465 M&M candies.

From this simple random sample, there were 19 green M&Ms with a mean of 0.8635 g and a standard deviation of 0.0570. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of all M&Ms is equal to 0.8535, which is the mean weight required so that M&Ms have the weight printed on the packaged label. a.

(10 points) The Wechsler IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 15 for the population of normal adults. Listed below (and in the Excel Data File) are the IQ scores of randomly selected professional pilots. It is claimed that because the professional pilots are a more homogenous group than the general population (i.e. they are “more alike” than a random group of people), they have IQ scores with a standard deviation less than 15.

Explanation & Answer

Here is my answer :)

1. (2 points) A claim is made that when parents use the XSORT method of gender selection during invitro fertilization, the proportion of baby girls is greater than 0.5. The latest results show that among
945 babies born to couples using the XSORT method of gender selection, 879 were girls.
a. (1 point) Express the original claim in symbolic form.
p > 0.50
b. (1 point) Identify the null and alternative hypothesis.
H0 : p = 0.50
Ha ∶ p > 0.50
2. (10 points) A 0.05 significance level is used for a hypothesis test of the claim that when parents use the
XSORT method of gender selection, the proportion of baby girls is different from 0.5. Assume that the
data consists of 55 girls born in 100 births, so the sample statistic of 0.55 results in a z-score that is 1.00
standard deviation above 0.

a. (1 point) Identify the null and alternative hypothesis.
To test the hypothesis is that the proportion of baby girls is different from 0.50
The null and alternative hypothesis is,
H0 : p = 0.50
Ha ∶ p ≠ 0.50
b. (1 point) What is the value of α?
The value of level of significance is α = 0.05
c. (1 point) What is the sampling distribution of the sample statistic?
The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample statistic is,
μp̂ = p
μp̂ = 0.55
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample statistic is,

𝜎𝑝̂ = √

𝑝(1 − 𝑝)
𝑛

(0.50)(1 − 0.50)
100
𝜎𝑝̂ = 0.05

𝜎𝑝̂ = √

Page 1 of 8

d. (1 point) Is this a two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed test? Why?
The test is two-tailed due to the alternative hypothesis is that the proportion of baby girls is different
from 0.50
e. (1 point) What i...
