- The following problem submitted by Daniel Hahn of Blairstown, Iowa, appeared in the Ask Marilyn column of Parade magazine. Source: Parade magazine. You discover two booths at a carnival. Each is tended by an honest man with a pair of covered coin shakers. In each shaker is a single coin, and you are allowed to bet upon the chance that both coins in that booths shakers are heads after the man in the booth shakes them, does an inspection, and can tell you that at least one of the shakers contains a head. The difference is that the man in the first booth always looks inside both of his shakers, whereas the man in the second booth looks inside only one of the shakers. Where will you stand the best chance?arrow_forwardQuestion 5 (10 marks) a. Write the null and alternative hypothesis for the following and determine if it is a two-tailed, a left-tailed or a right-tailed test. i. A researcher is studying the effects of radical exercise program on knee surgery patients. There is a good chance the therapy will improve recovery time, but there's also the possibility it will make it worse. Average recovery times for knee surgery patients is 8.2 weeks. ii. Alumni group of a private institution wants to test if the college student, on the average, take less than 4 years to graduate.arrow_forwardReview: Suppose a hypothesis test produces P = 0.0512 Will the null hypothesis be rejected at α = 0.10? How will the outcome of the test change if the level of significance is changed to 0.05? Explain in 1 – 2 complete sentences.arrow_forward
- Ex 9. Suppose that a national survey finds that 73 percent of restaurant employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. A random sample of 200 employees of a large restaurant chain finds that 141 employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the percentage of work-stressed employees for the restaurant chain differs from the national percentage. b. Use critical values to perform the hypothesis test by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001arrow_forwardQuestion 1For the following scenarios provide the following for each scenario:• the null and alternative hypotheses• explain whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, • explain how you should interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis, and • explain how you should interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis. a. A Don Anderson Poll reports that on average 70% of Jamaicans believe that electricitybills are too high. b. Sunshine Cooperation guarantees that the mean shelf life of cornflakes is at least 750 days. c. Consumer Affairs has advised that the standard deviation of the fuel economies of its Honda Civics for 2016 is no more than 10.7 miles per gallon.d. A meal supplement provider claims that the average difference in calories between two brands is 55.arrow_forwardWhich is the correct null hypothesis based on this statement: People with diabetes have higher systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes? People with diabetes have lower systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes. People with diabetes have equal systolic blood pressure when compared to people without diabetes. People with diabetes have a systolic blood pressure equal to or lower than people without diabetes. None of these are a null hypothesis.arrow_forward
- A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 66%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H 00 and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test. H, :0 H, :0arrow_forwardoscar wants to estimate the proportion of bilingual children in spain. It has been claimed that the proportion is 0.08 but oscar wants to conduct a hypothesis test to show that the ratio is higher than that. She picks 200 children at the from 6 to 10 at random from the regid stry and investigates whether they are age bilingual or not. Out of these 200 children, 23 were in fact bilingual. What is the test statistic that oscar uses in her hypothesis test? 1. 0.91 2. 1.55 3. 1.82 4. 5.99 5. R-command:arrow_forwardIn the picture there is a given data and based from that data. There is no significant difference between the perceived level of riskiness of thrill behavior in males and in females.

- 21a. Step 1: Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses?A. H0: Cravings and relapse are not independent; and H1: Cravings and relapse are independent B. H0: Cravings and relapse are independent; and H1: Cravings and relapse are not independent C. H0: u1 = u2 = u3 = u4; and H1: At least one of the categories will be different than the others. 21b. Expected frequencies for: (round answers to 2 decimal places) Cravings-Yes/Relapse-Yes fe = _______ Cravings-Yes/Relapse-No fe = ________ 21c. Expected frequencies for: (round answers to 2 decimal place) Cravings-No/Relapse-Yes fe = _________ Cravings-No/Relapse-No fe = __________arrow_forwardMany questions in research can be expressed as two competing statements about the population parameter. These two statements are called the null and the alternative hypotheses. Usually, the researcher hopes the sample evidence will be in favor of the alternative hypothesis, the new theory. It is important to be able to state the theories that are being put to a test. Do a minority of Michigan residents clear snow from sidewalks before 9 am after snow has fallen?For this scenario, write out the hypotheses to be put to the test and define the parameter of interest in context of the problem. H0:Ha: The parameter p represents ___(provide appropriate definition in context)________arrow_forwardA decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 71%.
