Of those women who are diagnosed to have early-stage breast cancer, one-third eventually die of the disease. Suppose a screening

program for the early detection of breast cancer was started in order to increase the survival rate p of those diagnosed to have the disease. A random sample of 200 women was selected from among those who were screened by the program and who were diagnosed to have the disease. Let x represent the number of those in the sample who survive the disease.
Required:
a. If you wish to determine the community screening program has been effective, state the alternative hypothesis that should be tested.
b. State the null hypothesis.
c. If 164 women in the sample of 200 survive the disease, can you conclude that the community screening program was effective? Test using αα=.05 and explain the practical conclusion from your test.
d. Find the p-value for the test and interpret it.

Answer:

A) Alternative hypothesis; Ha: p_o > ⅔

B) Null hypothesis;

H0: p_o = ⅔

C) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the community screening programme was effective

D) p-value = 0

Its less than the significance value and so we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the community screening programme was effective

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that ⅓ of those diagnosed eventually die of the disease. Thus, ⅔ is the fraction that will survive the disease.

Thus, the null hypothesis is;

H0: p_o = ⅔

We are told that a screening programme was started to increase the survival rate. Thus,the alternative hypothesis is;

Ha: p_o > ⅔

B) null hypothesis is;

H0: p_o = ⅔

C) 164 out of the 200 women selected survived the disease.

Thus sample proportion is;

p^ = 164/200

p^ = 0.82

For the z-score value, we will use the formula;

z = (p^ - p_o)/√((p_o(1 - p_o)/n)

Now, p_o = ⅔ = 0.67

Thus;

z = (0.82 - 0.67)/√((0.67(1 - 0.67)/200)

z = 4.51

From online p-value from z-score calculator, we have p-value ≈ 0

This is less than the significant level of 0.05 and therefore we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the community screening program was effective.

D) p-value ≈ 0

Reject the null hypothesis

3/4 of 48 ....."...................<br> ..<br> ....
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

To get 1/4 of 48 we have to divide 48 by 4

48 ÷ 4 = 12

To get 3/4 of 48 we multiply 12 by 3

12 × 3 = 36

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Group a, I did it

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is Group A. As the number of trials get larger, experimental probability approaches theoretical probability. With a probability of 0.175 group A rolled a 4 14 out of 80 times.

Sarah hired a painter to paint her bedroom walls and ceiling. Each of the four bedroom walls is 18 ft. Long and 8 ft. High. Two
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The estimate is not correct?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area of wall = 18*8

=144ft^2

=4*144

=576ft^2

Area of doors

=3*7

=21ft^2

=2*21

=42ft^2

Area of window

=3*5

=15ft^2

Hence the total surface area of the room

=576-42-15

=519ft^2

The amount of paint needed= 519/300= 1.73

Approximately 2 gallons

We are told that 1 gallon will cover 300ft^2

Hence 3 gallons will cover 300*3= 900ft^2

Therefore the painter overestimated the amount of paint needed

As 2 gallons will do the job
