b)What assumption is needed to run a parametric test for this research project? (pick 1-4) 1) Assume that the population of chirp rate follows a normal distribution. 2) Assume that the population distribution of the chirp rate follows the tt distribution. 3) Assume that the population of male field crickets follows a normal distribution. 4) Assume that the population distribution of male field crickets follows the tt distribution. c) Calculate the value of the test statistic
The article “Well-Fed Crickets Bowl Maidens Over” (Nature Science Update, February 11, 1999) reported that female field crickets are attracted to males with high chirp rates and hypothesized that chirp rate is related to nutritional status. The usual chirp rate for male field crickets was reported to vary around a mean of 60 chirps per second. To investigate whether the chirp rate was related to nutritional status, investigators fed 26 male crickets a high protein diet for 8 days, after which chirp rate was measured.
Let:
| The parameter μ be the mean chirp rate of male crickets on a high protein diet for 8 days. |
Given:
- The mean chirp rate for the random sample of crickets on the high protein diet was reported to be 64.04 chirps per second with a standard deviation of 10.
Research Question:
- Is there convincing evidence that the mean chirp rate for crickets on a high protein diet implies an advantage in attracting the ladies?
- It is known that the researchers did not want to risk a Type I error of more than 5%.
a) Identify the correct alternative hypothesis.
- H1:μ≠60
- H1:x¯≠60
- H1:x¯=64.04
- H1:μ<64.04
- H1:μ>64.04
- H1:μ=60
- H1:μ<60
- H1:x¯>64.04
- H1:x¯<64.04
- H1:x¯<60
- H1:x¯≠64.04
- H1:μ≠64.04
- H1:μ=64.04
- H1:x¯>60
- H1:x¯=60
- H1:μ>60
b)What assumption is needed to run a parametric test for this research project? (pick 1-4)
1) Assume that the population of chirp rate follows a
2) Assume that the population distribution of the chirp rate follows the tt distribution.
3) Assume that the population of male field crickets follows a normal distribution.
4) Assume that the population distribution of male field crickets follows the tt distribution.

e) According to the critical value approach, it is evident that the null hypothesis is _____ (rejected/not rejected) and there is _______ (enough evidence/not enough evidence) that the mean chirp rate is higher for male field crickets that eat a high protein diet.
f) Choose the correct interval for the p-value:
- 0<p-value ≤0.005
- 0.005<p-value ≤0.01
- 0.01<p-value ≤0.025
