- A car manufacturer claims that its latest model can average 60 miles per gallon on the highway - and an auto magazine's editor wants to put that claim to the test. (a) Write the null hypothesis for this situation. (b) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is lower than what's being claimed. (c) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is simply different from what's being claimed.arrow_forwardwhen the alternative hypothesis lies entirely above or below the value specified by Ho, it is calledarrow_forwardQuestion 6: give the null and alternative hypothesis.arrow_forward
- Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0: μd=0 Ha: μd⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯0 Step 2: What is the test statistic? Step 3: Do we reject the null hypothesis? Is there sufficient or insufficient data?arrow_forwardProblem Set #6 due on 11/1/2020 1. Under what conditions would a researcher choose to use a t-test for independent samples? 2. A researcher is testing a two-tailed null hypothesis at the p < .01 level with df = 48. What critical value would she or he use? Justify your answer. 3. A researcher is testing a two-tailed null hypothesis at the p < .01 level with df = 45. What critical value would she or he use? Justify your answer. 4. What is the simplest way to compute an effect size? 5. If the number of participants in Group 1 = 54 and the number in Group 2 = 58, what is the associated degrees of freedom? 6. If the obtained t value is 7.14, and the critical value is 6.10, what decision should be made? 7. What does the number 58 represent in the following: t(58) = 2.001, p < 0.05? 8. What does the number 0.05 represent in the following: t(58) = 2.001, p < 0.05? 9.…arrow_forwardFor each of the following scenarios, state the null and alternative hypotheses. Scenario A: You read in a report that preschool-aged children have on average 5.2 books at home. You are concerned that children in your community have fewer books.arrow_forward
- Question 1 For the following scenarios provide the following: • 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 meal supplement provider claims that the average difference in calories between two brands is 55.arrow_forwardOnly answere 9.20 9.18 If, in a sample of n=16 selected from a normal population, X=56 and S=12, what is the value of tSTAT if you are testing the null hypothesis H0: m=50? tSTAT=2.0 9.20 In Problems 9.18, what are the critical values of t if the level of significance, a, is 0.05 and the alternative hypothesis, H1, is m≠50arrow_forwardIf the results of the test with the following hypotheses are statistically significant, we have found evidence that: Hypotheses: h0: u1 = u2 ha: u1>u2 A: X<x2 B: x1 is not equal to x2 c: u1>u2 D: u1=u2 E: x1>x2 F: u1<u2arrow_forward
- Questions 1 and 2: Set up the Null and Alternative hypotheses to test the following claims: 1. A health insurance company wants to determine if less than 25% of U.S. residents have been to a hospital emergency room within the past year. State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: HA: 2. A company makes canned clam chowder (a delicious New England tradition). On the label, the company claims that the chowder contains (on average) 3.5 grams of Total Fat per serving. A consumer group would like to test this claim is true. State the null and alternative hypotheses that you would use to test if the mean amount of Total Fat per serving differs from 3.5 grams: H0: HA:arrow_forwardThe average life expectancy of tires produced by the Whitney Tire Company has been 40,000 miles. Management believes that due to a new production process, the life expectancy of its tires has increased. In order to test the validity of this belief, the correct set of hypotheses is a. H 0: μ ≥ 40,000 H a: μ < 40,000 b. H 0: μ ≤ 40,000 H a: μ > 40,000 c. H 0: μ < 40,000 H a: μ ≥ 40,000 d. H 0: μ > 40,000 H a: μ ≤ 40,000arrow_forwardQuestions 1 and 2: Set up the Null and Alternative hypotheses to test the following claims: 1.
