A recent article in a university newspaper claimed that the proportion of students who commute more than 15 miles to school is no more than 20%. Suppose that we suspect otherwise and carry out a hypothesis test. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test.

A refrigerator manufacturer claims that the mean life of its competitor's refrigerators is less than 17 years. You are asked to perform a hypothesis test to test this claim. (a) How would you write the null and alternative hypothesis if you represent the manufacturer and want to support the claim? (b) How would you write the null and alternative hypothesis if you represent the competitor and want to reject the claim? H0: ▼ ▼ 17 Ha: ▼ ▼ 17
Larry’s car averages 32 miles per gallon on the highway. He now switches to a new motor oil that is advertised as increasing gas mileage. After driving 3000 highway miles with the new oil, Larry estimates the new gas mileage to be 31.8. We wish to test if the motor oil increased his gas mileage. Which of the following are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, letting μ denote his new gas mileage? The null hypothesis is H0: ["", "", "", ""] The alternative hypothesis is Ha:
The manufacturer of Lakas Papaya cleansing soap claimed that their product was effective in making the facial skin blemish-free of at least 93% of users who tested it for a period of 1 week. In a sample of 350 people who had problems with their facial skin, the soap provided blemish-free skin for 295 people. Which of the following represents the alternative hypothesis for this problem? A. Ha: p = 0.93B. Ha: p < 0.93C. Ha: p > 0.93D. H_a: p ≠ 0.93

20) Based on data from previous years, the researchers were expecting that 15% of students would be low achieving, 60% would be average achieving, and 25% would be high achieving. State the hypothesis for this test? (Include a statement for both H0 and H1)
The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis for the following claim: “Maruti motor company claims that its new SUV, the Vista II, will average more than 40 miles per gallon in the city” are: choose right answer? H0 : µ > 40, H1: µ ≤ 40 H0 : µ = 40, H1: µ < 40 H0 : µ < 40, H1: µ ≥ 40 H0 : µ = 40, H1: µ > 40
A researcher believes that more than half of college students average less than 6 hours of sleep per night during the week. Suppose she collected data to test her belief and found a p-value < 0.0001. Fill in the information for her hypothesis test below. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses: a. H0: μ = 6 H1: μf < 6 b. H0: μ = 0.5 H1: μ < 0.05 c. H0: p = 6 H1: p < 6 d.

Would you favor spending more federal tax money on the arts? Of a random sample of n1 = 86 politically conservative voters, r1 = 18 responded yes. Another random sample of n2 = 85 politically moderate voters showed that r2 = 21 responded yes. Does this information indicate that the population proportion of conservative voters inclined to spend more federal tax money on funding the arts is less than the proportion of moderate voters so inclined? Use α = 0.05. (a) State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2 H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? The Student's t. The number of trials is sufficiently large. The standard normal. The number of trials is sufficiently large. The standard normal. We assume the population distributions are approximately normal. The Student's t. We assume the population distributions are approximately normal.…
Food inspectors inspect samples of food products to see if they are safe. This can be thought of as a hypothesis test where H 0 : the food is safe, and H a : the food is not safe. If you are a consumer, which type of error would be the worst one for the inspector to make, the type I or type II error?
Would you favor spending more federal tax money on the arts? Of a random sample of n1 = 232 women, r1 = 66 responded yes. Another random sample of n2 = 198 men showed that r2 = 65 responded yes.

Past records from a local hospital stated that the proportion of full-term babies born in the hospital who weigh less than seven pounds is 43%. Suppose that we have strong reason to believe the proportion is greater than 43%, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test. H0: H1:
