- Question 6 > Hypotheses and Conclusions: According to the Centers of Disease Control, about 20% of American young people between the ages of 12 and 19 are obese. A student claims that the students in his local schools are in better shape than the national average, so their proportion of obese students is less than 20%. a) Which are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this study? O Ho: p = 20% HA: P = 20% O Ho: p = 20% HA: P 20% O Ho: P = 0 HA: P = 0 b)Suppose that the result of the statistical test is to Reject Ho. Which is the proper conclusion? O There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the students at his local schools have a smaller proportion of obese students. O There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the students at his local schools have a smaller proportion of obese students. O There is not enough information to answer this question. O The test has proved that the students at his local schools have a smaller proportion of obese…arrow_forwardAre freshmen psychology majors just as likely to change their major before they graduate compared to freshmen business majors? 366 of the 673 freshmen psychology majors from a recent study changed their major before they graduated and 394 of the 705 freshmen business majors changed their major before they graduated. What can be concluded at the a = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use z-test for the difference between two population proportions a. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: p1 p2 v (please enter a decimal) H1: p1 p2 (Please enter a decimal) b. The test statistic z v -0.508 X (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) c. The p-value = 0.6115 X (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) d. The p-value is > vV a e. Based on this, we should fail to reject the null hypothesis. f. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The results are statistically significant at a = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of…arrow_forwardWhat are the various Potential Problems with Quasi-Experiments?arrow_forward
- Explain the concept of Quasi-Experiments?arrow_forwardIf the p-value is very large (say close to 1), then it is likely that we will reject the null hypothesis. True Falsearrow_forwardYou may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In 2012, seventy percent of Canadian households had an internet connection. A sample of 370 households taken in 2013 showed that 76% of them had an internet connection. We are interested in determining whether or not there has been a significant increase in the percentage of the Canadian households that have internet connections. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. (Enter != for as needed. Let p be the proportion of all Canadian households with internet connections.) Ho: на: (b) Compute the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) The null hypothesis is to be tested at the 5% level of significance. Determine the critical value(s) for this test. (Round your answer(s) to two decimal places. If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused tail.) test statistic (d) What do you conclude? Do not reject Ho. We can conclude that there has been a…arrow_forward
