The average time it takes for a person to experience relief after taking a particular brand of medicine is at least 30 minutes. A new ingredient is added to help speed up relief. Let µ denote the average time to obtain relief with the new product. An experiment is conducted to verify if the new product is better. Which of the following is the most appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this problem? A. Ho: μ ≥ 30 vs. Ha: μ < 30 B. Ho: μ < 30 vs. Ha: μ = 30 C. Ho: μ < 30 vs. Ha: μ > 30 D. Ho: μ ≤ 30 vs. Ha: μ > 30

Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? 3. What is the Null Hypothesis? a)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) b)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) c)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) d)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)
The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with ? = 0.32 and that x = 5.21. (Use ? = 0.05.) (a) Does this indicate conclusively that the true average percentage differs from 5.5?State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≠ 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≥ 5.5 H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? < 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? > 5.5 Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z = P-value = State the conclusion in the problem context. Do not reject the null hypothesis.

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
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
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.

A fisheries biologist collected a random sample of fish from a lake and conducted a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to see if the distribution of fish changed over time. The table below shows the distribution of fish that were put into the lake when it was originally stocked. Fish Type Trout Bass Perch Sunfish Catfish Percent 25% 25% 20% 15% 15% The biologist found evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Which of the following represents the alternative hypothesis of the test?
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…
