A programmer has developed a random number generator that gives a normally distributed set of results based on an input population mean and population standard deviation. To test the program, he inputs a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 5. He generates 23 random numbers with a sample mean of 21.7 and a sample deviation of 5. He wants to test with 95% confidence whether or not this sample has the correct mean of 20. Which of these is the appropriate null hypothesis? (Ho: u = 20 or Ho: u =21.7)

Use the t-distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come from random samples, and if the sample sizes are small, assume the underlying distributions are relatively normal. Test Ho : HA = lB vs Ha : HA + HB using the fact that Group A has 8 cases with a mean of 125 and a standard deviation of 18 while Group B has 15 cases with a mean of 118 and a standard deviation of 14. (a) Give the test statistic and the p-value. Round your answer for the test statistic to two decimal places and your answer for the p-value to three decimal places. test statistic = p-value = i

A student stated: “I fail to see why the response function needs to be constrained between 0 and 1 when the response variable is binary and has a Bernoulli distribution. The fit to 0, 1 data will take care of this problem for any response function.” Comment.

Use the t-distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come from random samples, and if the sample sizes are small, assume the underlying distributions are relatively normal. Test Ho : HA = Ha VS H. : HA # Hg using the fact that Group A has 8 cases with a mean of 125 and a standard deviation of 18 while Group B has 15 cases with a mean of 118 and a standard deviation of 14. (a) Give the test statistic and thep-value. Round your answer for the test statistic to two decimal places and your answer for the p- value to three decimal places. test statistic = p-value = eTextbook and Media (b) What is the conclusion of the test? Test at a 10% level. O Reject Ho. O Do not reject Ho. eTextbook and Media

If a researcher obtains a sample mean of M= 54, from a population with u = 46. With a given alpha, which combination of factors is most likely to result in rejecting the null hypothesis?

Two independent samples have been selected, 7777 observations from population 1 and 5858 observations from population 2. The sample means have been calculated to be ?⎯⎯⎯1=13.4x¯1=13.4 and ?⎯⎯⎯2=11.3x¯2=11.3. From previous experience with these populations, it is known that the variances are ?21=27σ12=27 and ?22=29σ22=29. For the hypothesis test of ?0:(?1−?2)=1.8H0:(μ1−μ2)=1.8 and ??:(?1−?2)≠1.8Ha:(μ1−μ2)≠1.8 Use ?=0.04α=0.04. (a)    Compute the test statistic. ?=z= (b)    Find the approximate p-value?−?????=p−value=   The final conclustion is A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that (?1−?2)=1.8(μ1−μ2)=1.8. B. We can reject the null hypothesis that (?1−?2)=1.8(μ1−μ2)=1.8 and accept that (?1−?2)≠1.8(μ1−μ2)≠1.8.
