The test statistic of z=−1.81 is obtained when testing the claim that p<0.88. a. Using a significance level of α=0.01, find the critical value(s). b. Should we reject H0 or should we fail to reject H0?
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
The test statistic of z = −1.79 is obtained when testing the claim that p = 1/4. Using a significance level of α = 0.01, find the critical value(s). Should we reject H0 or should we fail to reject H0?
The test statistic of z equals - 2.62 is obtained when testing the claim that p less than 0.22. a. Using a significance level of alpha equals 0.05, find the critical value(s). b. Should we reject Upper H 0 or should we fail to reject Upper H 0?
The test statistic of z=−2.31 is obtained when testing the claim that p=1/2. a. Using a significance level of α=0.05,find the critical value(s). b. Should we reject H0 or should we fail to reject H0?
A researcher would like to examine how the chemical tryptophan, contained in foods such as turkey, can affect mental alertness. A sample of n = 9 college students is obtained, and each student’s performance on a familiar video game is measured before and after eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner including roast turkey. The average score dropped by MD = 14 points after the meal with SS = 1152 for the difference scores. What type of t-test would you have to conduct in this scenario?Are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. State the hypothesis, find the critical region, calculate your test statistic, and evaluate your hypothesis then calculate the Cohen’s d measure for this scenario. State whether this is a weak, moderate, or strong effect.
The test statistic of z=−1.68 is obtained when testing the claim that p<0.88. a. Using a significance level of a=0.01, find the critical value(s). b. Should we reject H 0 or should we fail to reject H 0?
Dr. Chapman conducted an experiment in which participants watched paint dry for 30 minutes twice, once being paid $1 and once being paid $30. When comparing the samples, he calculated t = 3.57. He assumed α = .01 with df = 5, so the tcv = ±4.032. Because the calculated value was: A. greater than the critical value, Dr. Chapman can reject the null hypothesis. B. greater than the critical value, Dr. Chapman failed to reject the null hypothesis. C. less than the critical value, Dr. Chapman failed to reject the null hypothesis. D. less than the critical value, Dr. Chapman can reject the null hypothesis.
The test statistic of z= -1.90 is obtained when testing the claim that p<0.26. a. Using a significance level of a=0.01, find the critical value(s). b. Should we reject Upper H 0 or should we fail to reject Upper H 0?
Data from the 2014 General Social Survey (GSS) show that out of n=1,606 adult respondents, the proportion who reported having voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election was 0.61 Q: If I calculate a z test static of 4.84, and my alpha = 0.05, what decision should I make about the hypothesis? (Calculate the p-value for a 2-sided test to make your decision.) Options: A: fail to reject the null hypothesis that the proportion of American adults who voted for Obama in 2008 was 0.55 B: reject the null hypothesis that the proportion of American adults who voted for Obama in 2008 was 0.55 C: Reject the alternative hypothesis that the proportion of American Adults who voted for Obama in 2008 was not equal to 0.55 D: Fail to reject the alternative hypothesis that the proportion of American adults who voted for Obama in 2008 was not equal to 0.55
The test statistic of Z equals=−2.06 is obtained when testing the claim that p<0.58 Using a significance level of α=0.01 find the critical value(s).
A researcher did a one-tailed one-sample t-test to test the hypothesis that babies prefer the color blue over the color red. He collected a sample of 26 babies and presented them with a red plastic star and a blue plastic start for 12 seconds. The researcher measured the amount of time each baby spent watching the blue star out of the 12 seconds. What is the critical t value, assuming the alpha level used was .05?
