In a random sample of 1000 adults in that country in a recent year, 26% say they are concerned that their taxes will be audited. At a 0.01, is there enough evidence to reject the center's claim?

A humane society claims that less than 39% of U.S. households own a dog. In a random sample of 402 U.S. households, 155say they own a dog. At α=0.01, is there enough evidence to support the society's claim? (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and Ha. (b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s). (c) Find the standardized test statistic. (d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
A lecturer claims that their course is not too easy and that on average, students score 60%. We want to verify this claim by performing a single tailed test with the null hypothesis μ=60% vs the hypothesis μ>60%. For this, we take a random sample of 50 students.Decide on the appropriate test statistic and compute the corresponding (positive) bound of the critical region for a single tailed test at the 98% level. Give the result to four decimal places.
In a survey of 470 drivers from the South, 404 wear a seat belt. In a survey of 360 drivers from the Northeast, 292 wear a seat belt. At α=0.07, can you support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts is greater in the South than in the Northeast? Assume the random samples are independent Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).
A person read that the average number of hours and adult sleeps on Friday night to Saturday morning was 7.3 hours. The researcher feels that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average. The researcher randomly selected 17 students and found that on average they slept 8.5 hours. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.4 hours. At (alpha) = 0.01, is there enough evidence to say that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average? Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed. Use the critical value method and tables. A. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. B. Find the critical value(s). C. Compute the test value. D. Make the decision. E. Summarize the results.

A problem with a telephone line that prevents a customer from receiving or making calls is upsetting to both the customer and the telephone company. The Sheet 8 contains samples of 20 problems reported to two different offices of a telephone company and the time to clear these problems (in minutes) from the customers' lines: test the Null hypothesis that the time to clear the problem doesn't significantly differ across to centers at the 0.03 level.

A researcher decides to lower the alpha level that determines the critical region(s) prior to conducting a hypothesis test. This will increase the power of the hypothesis test. True or False?
A)A lecturer claims that their course is not too easy and that on average, students score 60%. We want to verify this claim by performing a single tailed test with the null hypothesis μ=60% vs the hypothesis μ>60%. For this, we take a random sample of 50 students.Decide on the appropriate test statistic and compute the corresponding (positive) bound of the critical region for a single tailed test at the 98% level. B)Consider again the example of the lecturer from above. We obtained a sample of 50 students with a mean of μ=61.3% and a sample standard deviation of 18.3% (percentage points, not percentages of μ!) What is the p-value (0<p<1) for this right-tailed test for the null hypothesis μ=60% vs the alternative hypothesis μ>60%? Give your answer to 3 decimal places.
A manufacturer is developing a nickel-metal hydride battery to be used in cellular telephones instead of a nickel-cadmium battery. The director of quality control decides to evaluate the newly developed battery by picking a random sample of employees with cellular phones and asking them to use both phones until the batteries run down. The results are given in the excel data file. At the 5% level of significance is there evidence that the new battery provides more minutes of talk time per battery charge? Show your work and give your answer in complete sentences in context of the problem.

This question assumes that you have access to a statistical package that computes standard errors robust to arbitrary serial correlation and heteroskedasticity for panel data methods.(i) For the pooled OLS estimates in Table 14.1, obtain the standard errors that allow for arbitrary serial correlation (in the composite errors, vit = ai + uit) and heteroskedasticity. How do the robust standard errors for educ, married, and union compare with the nonrobust ones?(ii) Now obtain the robust standard errors for the fixed effects estimates that allow arbitrary serial correlation and heteroskedasticity in the idiosyncratic errors, uit. How do these compare with the nonrobust FE standard errors?(iii) For which method, pooled OLS or FE, is adjusting the standard errors for serial correlation more important? Why?
A researcher would like to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean age of faculty cars is less than the mean age of student cars. A random sample of 25 student cars had a sample mean age of 7 years with a sample variance of 20, and a random sample of 32 faculty cars had a sample mean age of 5.8 years with a sample variances of 16. What is the critical value of the rejection region if the difference is taken as student - faculty and the test is conducted using a 5% significance level?
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.…
