A recent study at a local college claimed that the proportion, p, of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is no more than 15%. If a random sample of 255 students at this college is selected, and it is found that 41 commute more than fifteen miles to school, can we reject the college's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

A manufacturer of hand-held calculators receives large shipments of printed circuits from a supplier. It is too costly and time-consuming to inspect all incoming circuits, so when each shipment arrives, a sample is selected for inspection. Information from the sample is then used to test H0: p = 0.01 versus Ha: p > 0.01, where p is the actual proportion of defective circuits in the shipment. If the null hypothesis is not rejected, the shipment is accepted, and the circuits are used in the production of calculators. If the null hypothesis is rejected, the entire shipment is returned to the supplier because of inferior quality. (A shipment is defined to be of inferior quality if it contains more than 1% defective circuits.) In this context, define Type I and Type II errors. (Select all that apply.) a. A Type I error is obtaining convincing evidence that more than 1% of a shipment is defective when in fact (at most) 1% of the shipment is defective. b. A Type I error is not…
When is a researcher at risk of making a Type II error? a. whenever H0 is rejected b. whenever H1 is rejected c. whenever H0 fails to be rejected d. The risk of a Type II error is independent of the decision from a hypothesis test.

A physician wants to test two blood glucose meters to see if there is any differences in measurements. To do this, he measures the glucose in blood samples taken from several randomly selected patients with both meters. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for a hypothesis test, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the measurement on the second meter from the measurement on the first meter. A. H0:μd=0 Ha:μd>0 B. H0:μd=0 Ha:μd≠0 C. H0:μd=0 Ha:μd<0 D. H0:μd≠0 Ha:μd=0

The effectiveness of a new bug repellent is tested on 14 subjects for a 10 hour period. (Assume normally distributed population.) Based on the number and location of the bug bites, the percentage of surface area exposed protected from bites was calculated for each of the subjects. The results were as follows: x¯=93, ?=6 The new repellent is considered effective if it provides a percent repellency of at least 9090. Using ?=0.01, construct a hypothesis test with null hypothesis ?=90 and alternate hypothesis ?>90 to determine whether the mean repellency of the new bug repellent is greater than 9090 by computing the following: (a) the degrees of freedom (b) the test statistic

In the past decade there have been concerns about the amount of mercury in fish. To investigate the proportion of contaminated fish in various regions, scientists took a sample of fish off the coast of China and off the coast of Brazil.† Assume pC represents the true population proportion of fish off the coast of China that are contaminated and pB represents the true population proportion of fish off the coast of Brazil that are contaminated. (a) Which of the following is the correct null hypothesis for this situation? μC = μB pC = pB pC ≠ pB p̂C = p̂B (b)Which of the following is the correct alternative hypothesis to test if the population proportion of contaminated fish off the coast of China is different than the population proportion of contaminated fish off the coast of Brazil? p̂C > p̂B pC > pB pC < pB pC ≠ pB
A car manufacturer claims that its latest model can average 60 miles per gallon on the highway - and an auto magazine's editor wants to put that claim to the test. (a) Write the null hypothesis for this situation. (b) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is lower than what's being claimed. (c) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is simply different from what's being claimed.

If the null hypothesis is h = h0 (here h denotes the population parameter of interest.) and the alternate hypothesis is h > h0 then we perform a two-tail hypothesis testing. True or False
