1. Introduction
A Sample survey was collect to verify the mean population in united stated of America lower that the state with highest population. The sample for 50 states was analyzed through one tailed (left) t-static hypothesis. The hypothesis tests and the confidence intervals that we will use for estimating the mean are base on a static called the t-static.
A statistical hypothesis itself is an assumption for a set of data which may or may not be true. The null and alternate hypotheses would be:
H0: µ = µ0
Ha: µ < µ0
Null hypothesis (H0) states that sample observations results purely from chance. Alternative hypothesis (Ha) states that the sample observations are influenced by some non-random cause.
2. Define Population(s).
The population is the total number of people staying in America (per state) in 2011

Define Variable(s)
The data contains 50 state names (categorical data type) and the total number (numerical data type) of people staying in that state.
4. Data Collection
The data was collected from was collected from United States census bureau (refer Appendix A).
5. Study Design.
The state with highest population has size of 37,252,000. It is assumed that the mean of the sample population is less than 38,000,000. The hypothesis test was conducted to verify that the mean of the sample population is sample less than 38,000,000. Since it doesn’t contain the equal sign, it would be the alternate hypothesis. Let us assume that µ0 = 38,000,000 is the mean of the sample.
The null and alternate hypotheses would be:
H0: µ = µ0
Ha: µ < µ0
6. Results: Descriptive
Hypothesis is typically used in quantitative research only. Moreover, when a question poses an inquiry on the relationship between two variables, a hypothesis is a statement declarative in nature of the relationship between different variables (Pajares 2007). A researcher chooses whether to use a question or a hypothesis depending on the purpose of the research, its objectives, the methodology for the research and the preference of the audience to receive the research. A researcher must be able to interpret the final outcome with reference to the research questions or the hypothesis used (Pajares 2007). A research requires a minimum of two hypotheses namely a null and an alternative hypothesis.
Select one (1) project from your working or educational environment that you would use the hypothesis test technique. Next, propose the hypothesis structure (e.g., the null hypothesis, data collection process, confidence interval, test statistics, reject or not reject the decision, etc.) for the business process of the selected project. Provide a rationale for your response.
Null hypothesis. The null hypothesis, denoted by H0, is usually the hypothesis that sample observations result purely from chance. In this case, according to null hypothesis there is no significant difference between business students at Rocky University who were involved in cheating and business students elsewhere.
There is a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis usually states there is no difference and an alternative hypothesis states there is. A result is positive if it rejects the null hypothesis. A result is negative if it does not reject the null
11. List the five steps of hypothesis testing, and explain the procedure and logic of each
1. Write a null and an alternative hypothesis for each of the following. Be sure to state
A researcher predicts that listening to music while solving math problems will make a particular area of the brain more active. To test this, a research participant has her brain scanned while listening to music and solving math problems, and the brain area of interest has a percentage signal change of 58. From many previous studies with the same math problems procedure (but not listening to music), it is known that the signal change in this brain area is normally distributed with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 10. (a) Using the .01 level, what should the researchers conclude? Solve this problem explicitly using all five steps of hypothesis testing, and illustrate your answers with a sketch showing the comparison distribution, the cutoff (or cutoffs), and the score of the sample on this distribution. (b) Then explain your answer to someone who has never had a course in statistics (but who is familiar with mean, standard deviation, and Z scores).
• Alternative Hypothesis Ha: µ ≥ 50,000, this means the test is a one tailed z test.
My null hypothesis, which is a statement of no difference, association, or effect and is tested against the alternative hypothesis (Sullivan), is that BMI is not associated with systolic blood pressure. (Ho: BMI is not associated with SYSBP.) The alternative hypothesis or research hypothesis is Ho is false. (H1: Ho is false.) The p-value, or the likelihood of observing the sample data if the null hypothesis is true, is set at 0.05. (p-value (): 0.05)
U.S. Census Bureau data shows that the population of African American people in the United
The US Census dates back to 1790 and is currently headed quartered in Suitland, Md. As of 1942. As an element of the US Department of Commerce the US Census is overseen by the Economics and Statistics administration. The US. Census Staffs over 4,285 members. The goal of the US Census Bureau is to provide the U.S. quality, accurate data that represent demographic truths of the U.S. The US. Census counts the population every 10 years. The census counts every person who resides in the 50states and US territories. There have been a total of 22 censuses taken so far dating back to 1790. Each household is mailed questionnaires and households are mailed a second questionnaire if the first one is not taken. If households fail to respond
The United States Census Bureau ‘s mission is “to serve as the leading source of quality data about the nation’s people and economy,” (needs citation/ located in the what we do page in the about the bureau) They collect data on population and housing, the economic, nature of local and state governments. The United State Census Bureau would be a great resource for government officials, teachers, students, businesses, and libraries. On the website, the user can search for information by either using the search bar or by clicking on the search tabs located at the top of the page. The user can browse the site by topics, geography, publications, data, surveys/programs, newsroom, and the about us section. Some of the special features are located right on the main page of the website where the user can see them. First, there is a population clock that contains both the US population as well as the world population. If the user clicks on the clock, they list the components of population change such as births per second, deaths, and international migrant. The page also has a list of the top 10 most populous countries. In addition, this page gives the user the ability to find out what the US population was on a specific date. Finally, the page has charts on the US population by growth, by region, by age and sex, and population by states, countries/cities. In addition to the population clock on the main page, there is a quick facts section where the user can look up by selecting a state and an economic indicator section, stat of the day, and a latest news section. For technical support, there is a FAQ page where the user can explore by browsing topics: top questions, 2000 and earlier, 2010 census, foreign trade, business statistics, etc. The user can also chat with a staff member online via chat or can submit a
a) A recent article in Bangladesh Observer indicated that the mean selling price of the homes in the city of Dhaka is more than Tk. 2200. Can we conclude that the mean selling price in the Gulshan area is more than Tk. 2200? Use the 0.01 significance level. What is the P-value?
The null hypothesis suggests that there is no difference between the means of the three samples, while the claim in the alternative hypothesis suggests that at least one mean is different.
For every statistical experiment, an alternative hypothesis and a null hypothesis is constructed. If "the variance between groups exceeds what is expected in terms of the variance" the null has been disproven and the independent variable is shown to have had a measurable influence upon the experimental population (Analysis of variance. 2012, Stat Primer). In statistical experimentation, the hypothesis (which the experimenter actually thinks or hopes will occur) is never technically proven; rather the null hypothesis is refuted. The actual hypothesis of the experimenter is 'guilty until proven innocent' (What is a null hypothesis, 2012, Null Hypothesis).
