A recent study regarding a groundbreaking new medicine states that the new product "x" decreases the chance of heart disease. Someone wanted to know if this pill works differently between males and females. In a test, 1500 randomly selected females received the pill while 1100 randomly selected males received the pill. In the male group, 970 of them ended up not having any heart problems while in the female group 1200 had no heart problems. Does this data give convincing evidence at a 95% confidence level that the new drug effects men differently then women?

In a recent study, we discovered that men are statistically more likely to drink coffee than girls on a regular basis. A random sample of 1000 people were taken. Out of the 542 men 212 of them drank coffee on a regular basis, and out of the 458 women 190 drank coffee on a regular basis. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the different proportion of people who drink coffee regularly.

A random sample of 500 people were taken from a pool and were asked if they like Disneyland. 362 of them said they did and 138 people in the sample said they did not. They were then asked if they consider themselves to be happy on a regular basis. 225 of the people who like Disneyland do consider themselves happy, and 78 of people who say they don't like Disneyland say that they do consider themselves happy. State a hypothesis for performing a significance test and check the conditions for performing the test.

In a recent study at University Youdidnotgetin, students were concerned about the correlation between hot sauce and aggression. In a random sample of 2,000 students at the school , of which 1,000 students were observed consuming sriracha (a milder sauce) and the other 1,000 observed consuming Ghost pepper sauce( extremely hot). 450 of the sriracha group were immediately more irritable after two hours after consumption, compared to 600 of the ghost pepper. Let p1= the true proportion of students whose aggressive behavior is caused by sriracha consumption, and let p2= the true proportion of students whose aggressive behavior is caused by ghost pepper sauce consumption. Check if the condition of calculating the confidence Interval for p1 and p2 are met.

In a random study of 750 teenagers , male and female, at a local California high school, 300 regularly bleach their hair while 450 do not. Administrators wanted to investigate the effect of regular use of bleach on a teenager's IQ score, measured in number of points deviated from the average score of 100. Of the 300 teenagers, 100 were reported to deviate by 10 points from the average IQ score, while 88 of 450 teenagers were reported to deviate by 10 points from the average IQ score. Do these results give convincing evidence at a=0.05 level that regular use of hair bleach has an effect on teenagers IQ scores?

The board of education at the local high school set out to find if studying helps students pass more tests. To answer this question, the board took a sample of 500 students take a test. Group A with 250 students did not study for the test, while Group B with 250 students studied an hour a night for a week before the test. The results of the test showed that in Group A 120 had passed the test, and in Group B 225 passed the test. Does this provide convincing evidence that studying before a test helps students pass the test?
