The mean salary of federal government employees on the General Schedule is $59,593. The average salary of 34 state employees who do similar work is $59,070 with =σ $1500. At the 0.10 level of significance, can it be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees? State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis.
State the statistical hypotheses against a population with a mean of 90 for a one-tailed test where scores are expected to be lower than the population.
A sample of 100 observations from a normal population has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. The null hypothesis is that the population mean is equal to 48, and the alternative hypothesis is that the population mean is greater than 48. Using a significance level of 0.05, what is the decision and conclusion of the hypothesis test?
Suppose a recent study of Trucks and SUVs gave an average fuel efficiency of 19.2 mpg for Trucks and 21.4 mpg for SUVs. The sample standard deviation for Trucks was 3.2 mpg and 2.8 mpg for SUVs. These results were based on samples of 35 Trucks and 39 SUVs. At the 1% significance level, can we conclude that, on average, SUVs have better fuel efficiency than Trucks? Clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses, use the critical value approach (draw a detailed picture), and write out a detailed conclusion. Organize: Hypotheses: Detailed picture: Detailed conclusion:
If a sample of 40 individuals was taken from a population with a mean of 110 and a standard deviation of 10, what is the Z-score for a one-tailed hypothesis test at a significance level of 0.01 if the sample mean is 112?
A sample of 50 Denver employees yielded a mean distance of 410 miles with a population standard deviation of 40 miles. A sample of 45 Salt Lake City employees yielded a mean distance of 399 miles with a population standard deviation of 34 miles. If we were to conduct a Hypothesis test at a .05 significance level, what would be the correct test statistic rounded to two decimal places?
The mean serum-creatinine level measured in 13 patients 24 hours after they received a newly proposed antibiotic was 1.1 mg/dL. (a) If the mean and standard deviation of serum creatinine in the general population are 1.0 and 0.4 mg/dL, respectively, then, using a significance level of 0.05, test whether the mean serum-creatinine level in this group is different from that of the general population. State the null and alternative hypotheses (in mg/dL). (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)
If indeed the true mean exposure time is 8h/day but for the randomly selected CSU students that are surveyed, we could observe a value of the test statistic that falls into the critical region (within the upper tail), we would then reject the null hypothesis H0 in favor of the alternate when, in fact, H0 is really true. This type of wrong conclusion is called a A. type II error B. type I error C. no error D. statistically insignificant
Suppose a researcher claims people use less than 65 cough drops during flu season. Suppose sample of 50 chosen with mean 60, standard deviation = 16 and alpha is 0.05. Is there sufficient evidence people use less than 65 cough drops?
According to a survey, the average American person is in a car for 5 hours per week. To test if the amount of car time in Los Angeles is less than the national average, a researcher decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 10% significance level. She surveys 15 Los Angeleans randomly and asks them about their amount of time in a car each week, on average. From the data, the sample mean time is 4.3 hours per week, and the sample standard deviation (s) is 0.7 hours. H0: μ≤5; Ha: μ>5. α=0.1 (significance level) What is the test statistic (t-value) of this one-mean hypothesis test (with σ unknown)? Round your final answer to two decimal places.
The director of a state agency believes that the average starting salary for clerical employees in the states is less than $30,000 per year. To test her hypothesis, she has collected a simple random sample of 100 starting clerical salaries from across the state and found that the sample mean is $29,750. Find: A. State the appropriate null and alternative Hypothesis B. Assuming the population standard deviation is known to be $2,500 and the significance level for the test is to be 0.05, what is the critical value (stated in dollars)? C. Referring to your answer in part B, what conclusion should be reached with respect to the null hypothesis? D. Referring to your answer in part C, which of the two statistical errors might have been made in this case? Explain.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean hourly wage for the U.S. in May 2017 was $24.34 with a population standard deviation of $3.17. For the Colorado Springs metropolitan area a sample of 274,870 people found the mean hourly wage to be $24.06. At a= 0.05 , can it be concluded that the mean salary in the Colorado Springs Metropolitan Area is lower than the U.S. value using the Critical Value method of hypothesis testing?
