Are children with higher exposure to pesticides more likely to develop ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)? In one study, authors measured levels of urinary dialkyl phosphate (DAP, a common pesticide) concentrations and ascertained ADHD diagnostic status (Yes/No) for 1139 children who were repre- sentative of the general US population.7 The sub- jects were divided into two groups based on high or low pesticide concentrations, and we compare the proportion with ADHD in each group. (a) Define the relevant parameter(s) and state the null and alternative hypotheses.
(b) In the sample, children with high pesticide levels were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. Can we necessarily conclude that, in the popula- tion, children with high pesticide levels are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD? (Whether or not we can make this generalization is, in fact, the statistical question of interest.)
(c) In the study, evidence was found to support the alternative hypothesis. Explain what that means in the context of pesticide exposure and ADHD?

Write the contrapositive of the conditional statement. determine whether the contrapositive is true or false. if it is false, find a counterexample. a converse statement is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. a) a non-converse statement is not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. true b) a statement not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional is a converse statement. false; an inverse statement is not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. c) a non-converse statement is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. false; an inverse statement is formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. d) a statement not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional is not a converse statement. true

Abottled water distributor wants to estimate the amount of water contained in 1-gallon bottles purchased from a nationally known water bottling company. the water bottling company’s specifications state that the standard deviation of the amount of water is equal to 0.02 gallon. a random sample of 50 bottles is selected, and the sample mean amount of water per 1-gallon bottle is 0.995 gallon a. construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the popula-tion mean amount of water included in a 1-gallon bottle. b. on the basis of these results, do you think that the distributor has a right to complain to the water bottling company? why? c. must you assume that the population amount of water per bottle is normally distributed here? explain. d. construct a 95% confidence interval estimate. how does this change your answer to (b)?
