Patient: Name: David Thompson Age: 46 years Sex: Male Weight: 90 kg (198 lbs) Occupation: Sales Manager Chief Complaint:“I vomited blood twice after a night of drinking and feel weak.”History of Present Illness:Mr. Thompson reports several episodes of forceful vomiting after drinking heavily at a party.

Select all that apply.

You run a 1-sided hypothesis test to test whether the population mean is greater than the null hypothesis of 5. You find that the sample mean is equal to 5.5 and calculate a p-value of .025. What does this tell us?

You want to perform a hypothesis test with a null hypothesis equal to 76. You know that the population standard deviation is equal to 10, and based on the sample size, the sample mean, and the chosen significance level, you fail to reject the null.   Now, consider a setting where you do not know the population standard deviation. Instead, you estimate the standard deviation to be 10. In this setting, given the same sample size, sample mean, and chosen significance level, which of the following is true?

You run the following hypothesis test. The significance level is 10%, the population standard deviation is 100, and the sample size is 64. If the actual population parameter was equal to 515, what is the probability of Type II error? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)   Type II Error:

A nutritionist wishes to compare resting heart rates between individuals who follow a vegetarian diet and those who follow a non-vegetarian diet. A sample of adults is selected at random. Each participant identifies their diet preference, and their resting heart rate is recorded in beats per minute. Use the summarized data below to determine if there is a difference in mean resting heart rate at the 0.05 significance level.

A wellness organization wants to determine whether individuals’ preferred time of day to exercise (morning, afternoon, or evening) is related to the primary reason of their motivation for working out. Participants complete a survey indicating both their preferred workout time and main motivation. Which type of test should be used for this scenario?
