Question

The Genetics and IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a boy. 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 the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy.

A. The null hypothesis is         

i. p < 0.5"

ii. p > 0.5"

iii. p = 0.5"

iv. p is not equal to 0.5" 

 

B. The computed z-test statistic is                         

i. 9.54

ii. 7.81

iii. 10.96

iv. 8.39       

 

C. The critical/tabular z-test statistic is           

i. 2.58

ii. 2.33

iii. 1.645

iv. 1.96

 

D. Decision rule:   

i. Reject the null hypothesis.

ii. Do not reject the null hypothesis.

 

E. The final conclusion is

i. The YSORT method designed to NOT decrease the probability of a boy.

ii. The YSORT method designed to NOT increase the probability of a boy.

iii. The YSORT method designed to increase the probability of a boy.

iv. The YSORT method designed to decrease the probability of a boy.
