Chapter 10.1, Problem 13E
Performing a Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Test In Exercises 7−16, (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (h) find the critical value and identify the rejection region, (c) find the chi-square test statistic, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
13. College Education The pie chart shows the results of a survey in which U.S. parents were asked their opinions on whether a college education is worth the expense. An economist claims that the distribution of the opinions of U.S. teenagers is different from the distribution given for U.S. parents. To test this claim, you randomly select 200 U.S. teenagers and ask each whether a college education is worth the expense. The table shows the results. At α = 0.05, test the economist’s claim.

Conduct a t-test at the .01 level.
Find the correct decision about the null hypothesis.
(A) Because the t-statistic exceeds the critical values, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(B) Because the t-statistic exceeds the critical values, we reject the null hypothesis.
(C) Because the t-statistic does not exceed the critical values, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(D) Because the t-statistic does not exceed the critical values, we reject the null hypothesis.
Finding Critical Values and Confidence Intervals. In Exercises 5–8, use the given information to find the number of degrees of freedom, the critical values χ2L and X2R, and the confidence interval estimate of σ. The samples are from Appendix B and it is reasonable to assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a population with a normal distribution.

Heights of Men 99% confidence; n = 153, s = 7.10 cm
Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13–24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Lead in Medicine Listed below are the lead concentrations (in μ g/g) measured in different Ayurveda medicines. Ayurveda is a traditional medical system commonly used in India. The lead concentrations listed here are from medicines manufactured in the United States (based on data from “Lead, Mercury, and Arsenic in US and Indian Manufactured Ayurvedic Medicines Sold via the Internet,” by Saper et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 300, No. 8). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is…

Does Aspirin Prevent Heart Disease? In a trial designed to test the effectiveness of aspirin in preventing heart disease, 11,037 male physicians were treated with aspirin and 11,034 male physicians were given placebos. Among the subjects in the aspirin treatment group, 139 experienced myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). Among the subjects given placebos, 239 experienced myocardial infarctions (based on data from “Final Report on the Aspirin Component of the Ongoing Physicians’ Health Study,” New England Journal of Medicine , Vol. 321: 129–135).

A simple random sample of new altimeters resulted in the errors listed below. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that the new production method has errors with a standard deviation greater than 32.2 ft, which was the standard deviation for the old production method. If it appears that the standard deviation is greater, does the new production method appear to be better or worse than the old method? Should the company take any action?arrow_forwardIdentify the claim and state Ho and H Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, and whether to use a z-test, a t-test, or a chi-square test. Explain your reasoning. Find the critical value(s), identify the rejection region(s), and find the appropriate standardized test statistic. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. A tourist agency in Nevada claims the mean daily cost of meals and lodging for two adults traveling in the state is more than $300. You work for a consumer protection advocate and want to test this claim. In a random sample 35 pairs of adults traveling in Nevada, the mean daily cost of meals and lodging is $316.
