7. Suppose that a certain species of tomato plant has been extensively studied. It has been found that the distribution of the diameters of these tomatoes is roughly bell-shaped with light-tails. In order to test whether a new growth hormone produces larger tomatoes, a botanist decides to conduct a hypothesis test. If µ denotes the true mean of tomatoes with the growth hormone and 42 denotes untreated tomatoes, then her hypotheses are Ho : i = 2 vs. HA : H1 > µ2. She randomly samples 6 tomatoes, applies the new growth hormone to 3 of them, and measures the following diameters (in cm).

Suppose, you work with the Quality Assurance Team of a Biscuit Company, and a customer complains that the mean weight of the biscuit packet you are selling is less than 250 gm when you have claimed it to be of weight 250 gm in the packet. To test the customer's claim, you sampled 25 biscuit packets and measured their weights. Let be the hypothesized mean weight of a biscuit packet that your company claims, and the null and alternative hypotheses have been formulated as: At a 5% level of significance (), what will be the conclusion from a one-sample t-test (assuming that all the assumptions of the test are satisfied) if you obtain a p-value of 0.023?
2. Consider a study where students are measured on whether they had an internship during their time at WKU (Y/N) and whether they had a job at graduation (Y/N). If we wanted to test whether having an internship was associated with having a job at graduation (i.e., internship holders were more likely to have jobs), why would the chi-square test be inappropriate for this hypothesis? How should we analyze our data?
A random sample of size n = 12 from a normal pop-ulation has the mean x = 27.8 and the variance s2 = 3.24. If we base our decision on the statistic of Theorem 13, canwe say that the given information supports the claim thatthe mean of the population is μ = 28.5?
A tax accountant would like to test the claim that the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is less than 0.20. If the z− test statistic was calculated as z=−2.11, does the tax accountant have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis? Assume α=0.005. Move the blue dot to choose the appropriate test (left-, right, or two-tailed). Then, use the graph below to show the test statistic, p-value, and the rejection region to make a conclusion about the hypothesis test. powered by Move the blue dot to choose the appropriate test α=0.01 α=0.025 α=0.05 α=0.1 Significance level = 0.01 Select the correct answer below: There is enough evidence to suggest the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is less than 0.20. There is not enough evidence to suggest the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is less than 0.20. There is enough evidence to suggest the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is greater than 0.20.…
The researchers reported:" A 2x2 ANOVA revealed, first of all, a main effect for depletion, indicating that depleted individuals generated less ideas (M = 9.40, SD = 5.64) than non-depleted individuals (M = 12.44, SD = 7.34), F (1, 108) = 6.03, p = .016, n2 = .05. This effect was qualified by the expected interaction with [perseverance], F (1,108) = 4.52, p = .036, n2 = .05". What size are the effects for the main effect of depletion and for the interaction between depletion and perseverance, according to Cohen's conventions? a. These are small- to -medium effects b. These are non existent effects c. These are large effects d. We are unable to tell from from the n2 / r2 statistics
Each day for 200 days, a quality engineer samples 144 fuses rated at 15 A and measures the amperage at which they burn out. He performs a hypothesis test of H0 : μ = 15 versus H1 : μ ≠ 15, where μ is the mean burnout amperage of the fuses manufactured that day. a) On 10 of the 200 days, H0 is rejected at the 5% level. Does this provide conclusive evidence that the mean burnout amperage was different from 15 A on at least one of the 200 days? Explain. b) Would the answer to part (a) be different if H0 had been rejected on 20 of the 200 days? Explain.
A researcher is concerned that his new antihypertensive medication may be causing insomnia in some of his patients. Suppose he gathers an SRS of 65 patients treated with the study drug with a sample average of 6.6 hours of sleep and a σ=1.1. Assuming that insomnia can be quantified as an average of 4.5 hours of sleep, can we determine with 95% confidence that his drug avoids diagnosis of insomnia as a side-effect?
A researcher is using a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = 0.05 to evaluate the effect of a treatment. If the boundaries for the critical region are t = ± 2.080, then how many individuals are in the sample?
A university wants to investigate 'low-performance' modules - where low-performance is defined as a module with an average final mark lower than 50 in a given year. To test whether ECO242 is a 'low-performance' module, a researcher gathers data on final marks for 31 first ECO242 students from past years. If the mean and variance of this sample is estimated, respectively, as 48 and 38, test the hypothesis, at α=0.05, that the true mean is 50 against the hypothesis that it is less than 50. Q1: Is this an example of (two/left/right) tailed test?
