A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 60% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 200 people, 58% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is smaller than 60% at the 0.005 significance level. The null and alternative hypothesis would be: Ho:µ = 0.6 Ho: p < 0.6 Ho:µ > 0.6 Họ:µ < 0.6 Ho:p = 0.6 Ho:p> 0.6 H1 : µ # 0.6 H1:p > 0.6 H1:µ < 0.6 H1:µ > 0.6 H1:p# 0.6 H1:p< 0.6 The test is: left-tailed right-tailed two-tailed The test statistic is: |(to 3 decimals) The p-value is: |(to 4 decimals)

A ski lift manager is interested in the average daily number of ski lift users. In previous years, fewer than 945 people, on average, have used the ski lift daily over the winter season. The manager suspects this average has increased in recent years. If the ski lift manager chooses to use the p-value approach for his hypothesis test, what does he need to compare the p-value to?
Dreamfilms Studios boasts that its summer features are so good that at least half of all tickets sold one summer are for its films. A competing studio claims that less than half of all tickets sold are for Dreamfilms' movies. After the hypothesis test is completed, the conclusion is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the true percentage of tickets sold for Dreamfilms Studios' movies that summer was only 48%, was an error committed? If so, what type?
A high school is proud of its advanced chemistry class, in which its 16 students scored an average of 89.3 on the statewide exam, with s = 9. Test the same hypothesis at the .01 level (two-tailed), considering your decision with respect to the null hypothesis, what type of error (Type I or Type II) could you be making?
. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be?
A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 402 gram setting. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the bags are overfilled? Assume the population is normally distributed. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.

A major credit card company is interested in the proportion of individuals who use a competitor’s credit card. Their null hypothesis is H0: p=0.65H0: p=0.65, and based on a sample they find a sample proportion of 0.70 and a pp-value of 0.053. Is there convincing statistical evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the true proportion of individuals who use the competitor’s card is actually greater than 0.65 ?
When asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. what is wrong about this?
A biologist was interested in determining whether specific seedlings treated with a new fertilizer resulted in a higher than average height than the standard height of 11.2 cm. The biologist treated a random sample of 24 seedlings with the fertilizer and subsequently obtained the following heights. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test using a 5% significance level. What is the null and alternative hypothesis? What is the value of the test stastic?

Also, using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2009 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values. Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2009 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
