Use the following information to answer the next eight exercises: An article in the New England Journal of Medicine, discussed a study on smokers in California and Hawaii. In one part of the report, the self-reported ethnicity and smoking levels per day were given. Of the people smoking at most ten cigarettes per day, there were \(9886\) African Americans, \(2745\) Native Hawaiians, \(12,831\) Latinos, \(8,378\) Japanese Americans and \(7,650\) whites. Of the people smoking \(11\) to \(20\) cigarettes per day, there were \(6,514\) African Americans, \(3,062\) Native Hawaiians, \(4,932\) Latinos, \(10,680\) Japanese Americans, and \(9,877\) whites. Of the people smoking \(21\) to \(30\) cigarettes per day, there were \(1,671\) African Americans, \(1,419\) Native Hawaiians, \(1,406\) Latinos, \(4,715\) Japanese Americans, and \(6,062\) whites. Of the people smoking at least \(31\) cigarettes per day, there were \(759\) African Americans, \(788\) Native Hawaiians, \(800\) Latinos, \(2,305\) Japanese Americans, and \(3,970\) whites.

Graph the situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis. Mark the mean and test statistic. Shade in the region corresponding to the \(p-\)value.

\(\alpha =0.05\) So take decision “reject the null hypothesis \(H_{0}\)”because \(p-value<\alpha\) so \(p-\)value is \(0\) therefore “reject the null hypothesis” so the alternative got accepted so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that self reported ethnicity is dependent of the smoking levels per day.

Table11.43

The table provides a recent survey of the youngest online entrepreneurs whose net worth is estimated at one million dollars or more. Their ages range from 17to 30. Each cell in the table illustrates the number of entrepreneurs who correspond to the specific age group and their net worth. Are the ages and net worth independent? Perform a test of independence at the 5%significance level.

The number of births per woman in China is 1.6down from 5.91in 1966. This fertility rate has been attributed to the law passed in 1979restricting births to one per woman. Suppose that a group of students studied whether or not the standard deviation of births per woman was greater than 0.75. They asked 50women across China the number of births they had had. The results are shown in Table. Does the students’ survey indicate that the standard deviation is greater than 0.75?
