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.

Divide ₹960 between Manu and Swapna in the ratio 5: 7
il63 [147K]

Ratio gives the fractional division of a whole into a given portion. Manu's will get 400 while Swapna will get 560.

To divide 960 in the ratio 5 : 7

  • Sum the ratio = (5 + 7) = 12
  • Manu's share = 5 × (960/12) = 400

  • Swapna's share = 7 × (960/12) = 560

Therefore, Manu and Swapna's share is 400 and 560 respectively.
