The Genetics & IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceivi

ng a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to parents using the YSORT method, and 239 of them were boys. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. What is the value of the test statistic needed to test this claim?

Answer: The test statistic needed to test this claim= 10.92

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability of giving birth to a boy : p= 0.5

i..e The population proportion of giving birth to a boy =  0.5

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0: p\leq0.5

Alternative hypothesis :  H_a: p>0.5

Since H_a is right-tailed , so the hypothesis test is a right-tailed z-test.

Also, it is given that , the sample size : n= 291

Sample proportion: \hat{p}=\dfrac{239}{291}\approx0.82

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}} , where n is sample size ,  \hat{p} is sample proportion and p is the population proportion.

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{0.82-0.5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5(1-0.5)}{291}}}\approx10.92

i.e. the test statistic needed to test this claim= 10.92

Critical value ( one-tailed) for  0.01 significance level = z_{0.01}=2.326

Decision : Since Test statistic value (10.92)> Critical value (2.326), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[When test statistic value is greater than the critical value , then we reject the null hypothesis.]

Thus , we concluded that we have enough evidence at 0.01 significance level to support the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy.

Drag steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 6(x-5) = 54
telo118 [61]

The steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 6(x-5) = 54 are:

  • A. 6x – 30 = 54
  • B. 6x = 84  
  • D. x = 14

Given the expression 6(x-5) = 54

Expand the expression in parenthesis using the distributive law;

6x - 6(5) = 54

6x - 30 = 54

Add 30 to both sides

6x - 30 + 30 = 54 + 30

6x = 84

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 84/6

x = 14

Therefore the steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 6(x-5) = 54 are:

  • A. 6x – 30 = 54
  • B. 6x = 84  
  • D. x = 14

The manufacturer of hardness testing equipment uses​ steel-ball indenters to penetrate metal that is being tested.​ However, the
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes steel ball and Y denotes diamond

\bar{x_1} = 1/9( 50+57+......+51+53)

=530/9

=58.89

\bar{x_2}= 1/9( 52+ 56+....+ 51+ 56)

=543/9

=60.33

difference = d =(60.33- 58.89)

=1.44

s^2=1/n\sum xi^2 - n/(n-1)\bar{x}^2

s12 = 1/9( 502+572+......+512+532) -9/8 (58.89)2

=31686/8 - 9/8( 3468.03)

=3960.75 - 3901.53

=59.22

s1 = 7.69

s22 = 1/9( 522+ 562+....+ 512+ 562) -9/8 (60.33)2

=33295/8 - 9/8 (3640.11)

=4161.875 - 4095.12

=66.75

s2 =8.17

sample standard deviation for difference is

s=\sqrt{[(n1-1)s_1^2+ (n2-1)s_2^2]/(n1+n2-2)}

 = \sqrt{[(9-1)*59.22+ (9-1)*66.75]/(9+9-2)}

= \sqrt{1007.76/16}

=7.93

sd = s*\sqrt{(1/n1)+(1/n2)}

=7.93*\sqrt{(1/9)+(1/9)}

=7.93* 0.47

=3.74

For 95% confidence level Z (\alpha /2) =1.96

confidence interval is

d\pm Z(\alpha /2)*s_d

=(1.44 - 1.96* 3.75 , 1.44+1.96* 3.75)

=(1.44 - 7.35 , 1.44 + 7.35)

=(-2.31, 8.79)

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the two indenters produce different hardness readings.
