Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The level of significance is
95% of the t-distribution curve lies between -
Using table 4 from Appendix we get
Critical region is
Graph:
To draw the required graphs using the Minitab, follow the below instructions:
Step 1: Go to the Minitab software.
Step 2: Go to Graph > Probability distribution plot > View probability.
Step 3: Select ‘t’ and d.f = 7.
Step 4: Click on the Shaded area > Probability.
Step 5: Select ‘Both tail’ and enter Probability as 0.05.
Step 6: Click on OK.
The obtained distribution graph is:
Interpretation:
If the value of the sample test statistics lies in the critical region then we have to reject the null hypothesis.
(d)
Whether we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and whether the data is statistically significant for a level of significance of 0.05.
(d)
Answer to Problem 19P
Solution: The t-value (- 0.82) does not lie in the critical region. The data is not statistically significant for a level of significance of 0.05
Explanation of Solution
The critical regionis
The t-value (- 0.82)does not lie in the critical region. Therefore we don’t have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis
(e)
The interpretation for the conclusion.
(e)
Answer to Problem 19P
Solution: There is not enough evidence to conclude that the populations mean percentage increase in corporate revenue is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary.
Explanation of Solution
The t-value (- 0.82) does not lie in the critical region. Therefore we don’t have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis
(f)
The comparison for our conclusion with the conclusion obtained from the P-value method.
(f)
Answer to Problem 19P
Solution: Both the conclusions are same.
Explanation of Solution
The conclusion from the P-value method is:
The P-value of 0.4392 is greater than the level of significance (
Since we are using the same significance level of 0.05, hence both the conclusions will be same.

- Question 02 There is a claim that drink driving has been very common in high ways. The Highway Police randomly caught 300 drivers for breath alcohol test and found that 14% of drivers have breath alcohol over the legal limit. At 4% level of significance, use the p-value approach to test the hypothesis that the percentage of drivers who are drink driving is more than 10%.arrow_forwardMethod 4 of predicting children’s height These early, simple methods gave pediatricians and parents quick ways to estimate a child’s adult height, but they are not terribly accurate. A new statistical model was eventually developed based on age, weight, and parental height data from a large, longitudinal study. This method, called the Khamis-Roche method, can be applied only to healthy Caucasian children over the age of 4. To use this method, coefficients must be obtained from a table, multiplied by the corresponding measurement, and then added together with the constant to generate a formula to predict a child’s height. The partial tables that follow give the coefficients for girls aged 4 to 7. Write a formula for this method to predict the height of a 5-year-old girl, clearly defining any variables you use.

A similar survey was taken for the previous food service in which 89 students surveyed found that 40 were satisfied with the previous food service. When testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance) a higher percentage of students were satisfied with the previous food service than with the current food service, what is the test statistic?
