a) What is a null hypothesis H0? A specific hypothesis where the claim is that the population parameter does not equal 0. A working hypothesis making a claim about the population parameter in question. (b) What is an alternate hypothesis H1? A working hypothesis making a claim about the population parameter in question. Any hypothesis that differs from the original claim being made. (c)What is a type II error? Type II error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. Type II error is failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false. Type II error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. Type II error is failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is true.

Which of the following statements is true about the null hypothesis? Question 1 options: It is a statement that directly contradicts the null hypothesis Often includes a < or > sign or states that something is not equal We determine whether or not to reject this statement based on the likelihood of the opposite hypothesis being true It is a statement about the population parameter Question 2 True or False? A small p-value indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis Question 2 options: True False Question 3 Which statement is incorrect? Question 3 options: Strong evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value less than 0.05 Weak evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value greater than 0.05 Marginal evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value around 0.05 All are…
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 leasing firm's records indicate that the mean number of miles driven annually in its cars has been about 17,500 miles. The firm suspects that this number has decreased this past year. Suppose that the firm wishes to choose a small sample of driving distances from the past year and carry out a hypothesis test for its suspicion. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that it would use for this test.
Salary information regarding male and female employees of a large company is shown below. Male Female Sample Size 60 30 Sample Mean Salary (in $1000) 45 40 Population Variance () 120 70 If you are interested in testing whether or not the population average salary of males is significantly greater than that of females, at α = .05, the conclusion is that the population a) average salary of males is greater than females cannot be proved. b) average salary of males is significantly greater than females. c) salaries of males and females are equal. d) average salary of males is significantly lower than females.
In what circumstances is the z score used instead of a t statistic for a hypothesis test? a. given the population mean, the z score is used when the standard deviation is unknown b. given the population mean, the z score is used when the population variance or standard deviation is known c. given the population mean, the z score is used if you are not sure that the population distribution is normal d. given the population mean, the z score is used when the sample size is 30 or larger
In tests of significance about an unknown parameter, what does the test statistic represent? The value of the unknown parameter under the null hypothesis The value of the unknown parameter under the alternative hypothesis A measure of compatibility between the null and alternative hypotheses A measure of compatibility between the null hypothesis and the data
In tests involving a sample mean or proportion, the alternative hypothesis will state that the population parameter is equal to some value. □ True □ False a) When a claim or assertion is involved in hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis is always the same as the statement itself. □ True □ False b) When a null hypothesis can be rejected by an extreme result in one direction only, a two-tail test is appropriate. □ True □ False c) An Internal Revenue Service official says, “The percentage of taxpayers who overpay the taxes they owe is considerably less than 10%.” In the related hypothesis test, we should apply the “Missouri Rule” in setting up the null and alternative hypotheses. □ True □ False
You recently completed an experiment concerning the effects of carbs on happiness. One group of 11 people are assigned a high carb diet, another group of 11 people are assigned a moderate-high carb diet, another group of 11 people are assigned a moderate-low carb diet, and a final group of 11 people are assigned a low carb diet. If I find that I fail to reject the null hypothesis, what might my next step be? Group of answer choices Change my analysis and alpha to make the finding significant and then run post-hoc tests. 1. Run multiple dependent measures t-tests to see if there are any significant differences between particular groups 2. Run multiple independent samples t-tests to see if there are any significant differences between particular groups 3. Change my hypothesis to see if I can find something significant with a different hypothesis for this study 4. Run home and binge-watch Bridgerton because there is nothing else that should be done statistically

At the 1% level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis. We have enough evidence to conclude that the population correlation coefficient between the depth of dive and the optimal time is negative.…
A company has just developed a new antibiotic. 2 percent of children taking competing antibiotics experience a headache as a side effect. A researcher believes that the proportion of children taking the new antibiotic who experience a headache as a side effect is more than 0.02. We know that the null hypothesis is H0 : p = 0.02 and the alternative hypothesis is H1 : p > 0.02. Suppose that the sample evidence indicates thata. the null hypothesis is rejected. State the conclusion.b. the null hypothesis is not rejected. State the conclusion.
