If the proportion of the population in City A that is over 65 years old is p1 and the proportion of the population in City B that is over 65 years old is p2, what is the null hypothesis for a test to determine if the proportion of the population that is over 65 years old is greater in City A? Select the correct answer below: H0: p1−p2=0 H0: p1−p2>0 H0: p1−p2<0 H0: p1−p2≠0
A researcher hypothesizes that in a certain country the net annual growth of private sector purchases of government bonds, B, is positively related to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds, NI, and negatively related to the rate of inflation Π: Bt = a0 + a1NIt + a2Π t + ut Note that it may be hypothesized that B depends on the real rate of interest on bonds, R, where R = NI – Π. Using a sample of 56 annual observations, s/he estimates the following equations: (1) Bt = 0.43 + 0.90NIt - 0.97Πt R21 = 0.962, SSR1 = 2.20, QRESET(F1,52) = 16.6 (3.58) (8.80) (-1.05) (2) Bt = 0.44 + 0.94Rt R22 = 0.960, SSR2 = 2.22, QRESET(F1,53) = 0.9 (9.70) (16.7) (3) Bt = 0.44 + 1.14NIt SSR3 = 9.20, QRESET(F1,53) = 59.9 (8.84) (36.1) (4) NIt = 0.08 + 0.94Πt R24 = 0.997, SSR4 = 0.18, QRESET(F1,53) = 1.4…
In terms of the model parameters, state the null hypothesis that, after controlling for sales and roe, ros has no effect on CEO salary. State the alternative that better stock market performance increases a CEO’s salary.
There is some evidence that, in the years−198185, a simple name change resulted in a short-term increase in the price of certain business firms' stocks (relative to the prices of similar stocks). (See D. Horsky and P. Swyngedouw, "Does it pay to change your company's name? A stock market perspective," Marketing Science v. 6, pp.−32035,1987.) Suppose that, to test the profitability of name changes in the more recent market (the past five years), we analyze the stock prices of a large sample of corporations shortly after they changed names, and we find that the mean relative increase in stock price was about 0.86 %, with a standard deviation of 0.10%. Suppose that this mean and standard deviation apply to the population of all companies that changed names during the past five years. Complete the following statements about the distribution of relative increases in stock price for all companies that changed names during the past five years. According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 84%…

For the situation described below, state the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.) A new variety of pearl millet is expected to provide an increased yield over the variety presently in use, which has a mean yield of about 55 bushels per acre.
If the data analyst hypothesizes that grocery sales are higher when payment is made using credit cards compared to cash payment, the null hypothesis would likely state that grocery sales are lower when payment is made using credit cards compared to cash payment. T/F
The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. An article reports the following summary data on intake for a sample of males age 65−74 years: n = 116, x = 12.5, and s = 6.35. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males age 65−74 falls below the recommended allowance? (Use ? = 0.05.)State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. H0: ? = 15Ha: ? ≠ 15H0: ? = 15Ha: ? > 15 H0: ? = 15Ha: ? ≤ 15H0: ? = 15Ha: ? < 15 Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value.

A paper investigated the driving behavior of teenagers by observing their vehicles as they left a high school parking lot and then again at a site approximately 1 2 mile from the school. Assume that it is reasonable to regard the teen drivers in this study as representative of the population of teen drivers.

Suppose a new production method will be implemented if a hypothesis test supports the conclusion that the new method reduces the mean operating cost per hour. #1 State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses if the mean cost for the current production method is $280 per hour. A) H0: ? ≤ 280 Ha: ? > 280 B) H0: ? = 280 Ha: ? ≠ 280 C) H0: ? < 280 Ha: ? ≥ 280 D) H0: ? > 280 Ha: ? ≤ 280 E) H0: ? ≥ 280 Ha: ? < 280 #2 What is the type I error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error? A) It would be claiming ? ≤ 280 when the new method does not lower costs. This mistake could result in implementing the method when it would not lower costs. B)It would be claiming ? < 280 when the new method does not lower costs. This mistake could result in implementing the method when it would not lower costs. C) It would be claiming ? ≥ 280 when the method really would lower costs. This mistake could result in not implementing a method…
