A health organization has been concerned with the birth weights of newborns. They offered a program for at-risk mothers targeted to increase birth weights. The population average weight prior to the program was 5.75 pounds. Ho: H=5.75 Ha: H>5.75 Suppose the results of their testing lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion as: correct, Type I error or Type Il error, if in fact the weight has not increased.

Question 3 A humane society claims that less than 61% of households in a certain country own a pet. In a random sample of 500 households in that country, 285 say they own a pet. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the society's claim? Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha. (b) Identify the standardized test statistic first then use technology to find the P-value. (c) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and (d) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
Question 17: A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 90% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 81% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is smaller than 90% at the 0.05 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H0:p≤0.9H0:p≤0.9H1:p>0.9H1:p>0.9 H0:μ≤0.9H0:μ≤0.9H1:μ>0.9H1:μ>0.9 H0:μ≥0.9H0:μ≥0.9H1:μ<0.9H1:μ<0.9 H0:μ=0.9H0:μ=0.9H1:μ≠0.9H1:μ≠0.9 H0:p=0.9H0:p=0.9H1:p≠0.9H1:p≠0.9 H0:p≥0.9H0:p≥0.9H1:p<0.9H1:p<0.9 The test is: two-tailed right-tailed left-tailed The test statistic is: (to 3 decimals)The p-value is: (to 4 decimals)Based on this we: Fail to reject the null hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis

QUESTION 12 Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous 6 months, in a sample of 115 new-car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new-car buyers that trade in their old car has statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis?

question 25 Nationally, patients who go to the emergency room wait an average of 5 hours to be admitted into the hospital. Do patients at rural hospitals have a lower waiting time? The 10 randomly selected patients who went to the emergency room at rural hospitals waited an average of 3.8 hours to be admitted into the hospital. The standard deviation for these 10 patients was 2 hours. The p-value is <OR > α? Based on this, we should reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.? Thus, the final conclusion is that ...(choose 1 correct answer ) The data suggest that the population mean awaiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is not significantly lower than 5 hours at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is lower than 5 hours. The data suggest the…
