Question: (One-sample t-test – Design, 3; Analysis, 3; and Interpretation, 4) In 1954, the movie, The Conqueror, was shot near St. George, Utah. The cast included John Wayne (as Genghis Khan!), Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorehead, and Pedro Armendariz. The movie was directed by Dick Powell. The Snow Canyon locations were 135 miles southeast of the Nevada nuclear test site. Much fallout accumulated in the canyons and flats around the town. The movie crew simulated dust storms with fans and brought soil back with them to Hollywood to do final shooting. Between 1954 and 1984, 91 of the 220 members (41.4% with a standard deviation of 49.4%) of the cast and crew (including Wayne, Hayward, Moorehead, Armendariz, and Powell) contracted cancer and half of them died. The percentage of the adult population that might be expected to contract cancer over a 30-year period is at most 28 percent. Using a one-sample t-test (slide 29 of lecture 6), determine whether the percentage of the crew who actually contracted cancer is sufficiently large not to be a random accident. What conclusions would you draw? (SPSS).
