Test the hypothesis that false alarms are equally likely to occur in any month. Use 10% level
of significance.
Procedure: Select an answer
What is the total count (that is, total number of false alarms counted):
If false alarms are equally likely to occur in any month of 12 months, then what is the expected number
of false alarms to occur in any month from the total false alarms of the year (Rounded to 3 or more decimal
places):

Do the needs of patients in the emergency room differ for those who come by car vs. those by ambulance?
Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by car 62 had an injury, 48 were sick, 49 had
heart problems and 53 had other needs.
Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by ambulance 48 had an injury, 29 were sick,
52 had heart problems and 28 had other needs.
Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test using an a = 0.10 level of significance.

O Goodness-of-Fit
O Homogeneity
O Independence
O Paired t-test
b. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

The respondent specifies the number of servings of various food items they consumed over the previous week. The dietary cholesterol is then quantified for each respondent. The researchers were interested in assessing if there was an association between dietary cholesterol intake and high blood pressure. In a large sample of individuals who had completed the questionnaire, 250 persons with a high dietary cholesterol intake (greater than 300 mg/day) were selected and 250 persons with a low dietary cholesterol intake (less than 300 mg/day) were selected. The 500 selected participants had their medical history taken and were classified as having normal or high blood pressure. The data are given here.
