Larry’s car averages 32 miles per gallon on the highway. He now switches to a new motor oil that is advertised as increasing gas mileage. After driving 3000 highway miles with the new oil, Larry estimates the new gas mileage to be 31.8. We wish to test if the motor oil increased his gas mileage. Which of the following are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, letting μ denote his new gas mileage? The null hypothesis is H0: ["", "", "", ""] The alternative hypothesis is Ha:

A supplier claims that the true mean electrical resistance of wiring harnesses of a certain model is 30 ohms. A manufacturer that uses this harness wants to test whether this claim is true. Which of the following is the correct pair of hypotheses to use for this hypothesis test? Pick the right answer below by quoting the numbered point. 1. H0:μ=30 and H1:μ≠30 2. H0:μ⩾30 and H1:μ<30 3. H0:μ⩽30 and H1:μ>30 4. H0:μ≠30 and H1:μ=30 5. H0:μ<30 and H1:μ⩾30 6. H0:μ>30 and H1:μ⩽30
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.
An automobile manufacturer claims that the average gas mileage of a new model is 35 miles per gallon (mpg). A consumer group is skeptical of this claim and thinks the manufacturer may be overstating the average gas mileage. If µ represents the true average gas mileage for this new model, which of the following gives the null and alternative hypotheses that the consumer group should test?
About half of the police officers in Baltimore, Maryland, have completed a special course in community policing. As Captain of your division, you want to know if the course increased calls from the minority community for assistance from your precinct. Below is the results of before and after training in proportions for calls from the minority community in your precinct. Be sure and state whether you accept or reject the null hypothesis. Alpha is 0.05 for setting your Z critical value. After Training Before training Ps1 = 0.47 Ps2 = 0.43 N1 = 157 N2 = 113
A researcher conducts a hypothesis test using a sample of n = 20 with M = 34 and s 2 = 36 from an unknown population. What is the df value for the t statistic?
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 shop floor manager in a dairy company believes that the milk packaging process unit for 1 liter packs is not working fine and needs calibration. If the Null Hypothesis is framed to be µ = 1 liter, what would be the alternate hypothesis?
The test statistic is t = 1.34, the critical value is t = 2.011. The decision would be to: Reject the null hypothesis or Support the null hypothesis or Retain the null hypothesis or Support the alternative hypothesis.
A hypothesis test was conducted, at α = 0.05, to determine whether a certain chemical compound lasts longer than 30 seconds under a certain specified condition. The hypotheses used were: H0: µ = 30 Ha: µ > 30 A sample mean of 37.4 seconds was obtained from a sample of size n = 80. All statistical assumptions were met, and a p-value of p = 0.0089 was obtained. Which of the following is correct? a) If the null hypothesis were in reality true that the population mean was equal to 30, then the probability of observing a sample mean of 37.4 seconds from a sample of size n = 80 would be only .0089. b) If the null hypothesis were in reality false that the population mean was equal to 30, then the probability of observing a sample mean of 37.4 seconds (or less) from a sample of size n = 80 would be only .0089. c) If the null hypothesis were in reality true that the population mean was equal to 30, then the probability of observing a sample mean of 37.4 seconds (or greater) from…
