- The P-value for a hypothesis test is 0.06. For each of the fol-lowing significance levels, decide whether the null hypothesis should be rejected. a. α = 0.05b. α = 0.10 c. α = 0.06arrow_forwardA random sample of size 16 from a normal distribution with 0= 3 produced a sample mean of 4.5. a- is the x distribution normal? b-Compute the sample test statistic z under the null hypothesis Ho: u=6.3. c- for H1:u<6.3, estimate the P-value of the test statistic. d-for a level of significance of 0.01 and the hypotheses of parts (b) and (c), do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Explain.arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0 Ha: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0 The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations. Sample 1 Sample 2 n1 = 70 n2 = 80 x1 = 106 x2 = 108 σ1 = 8.4 σ2 = 7.6 (a) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places. show work not done on calculator) (b) With α = 0.01, using the p-value approach, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion? Why? Explainarrow_forward
- Consider the following hypothesis test: ??:? ≥ 80 ??:? < 80 A sample of 100 is used and the population standard deviation is 12. Compute the critical value and p-value and state your conclusion for each of the following sample results. Use \alpha =0.05 A) ?̅ = 78.5 B) ?̅=77arrow_forwardFind the P-value that corresponds to the given standard score, and determine whether to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.10 significance level. Is the alternative hypothesis supported? z=−1.2 for H0:μ=25 centimeters and Ha:μ<25 centimeters the p value is ?arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothesis test: H0:μ = 15 Ha:μ ≠ 15 A sample of 50 provided a sample mean of 14.15. The population standard deviation is 3. a. Compute the value of the test statistic. b. what is the p-value? c. At α = 0.05, what is your conclusion? d. what is the rejection rule using the critical value? what is your conclusion?arrow_forward

H0: μ1−μ2=0 H1: μ1−μ2≠0 a) Calculate the appropriate test statistic and interpret the result. b) Calculate the p-value and interpret the result. x1 = 237 x2 = 258 σ1 = 48 σ2 = 55 n1 = 43 n2 = 37arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothesis statement using α=0.01 and data from two independent samples. Assume the population variances are equal and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts a and b. H0: μ1−μ2=0 x1=14.5 x2=13.0 H1: μ1−μ2≠0 s1=2.6 s2=3.3 n1=22 n2=15 a. Calculate the appropriate test statistic and interpret the result. The test statistic is? The critical value(s) is(are)? b. Identify the p-value from part a and interpret the result.arrow_forwardIn a test of H0:p=0.4 against Ha:p≠0.4, a sample of size 100 produces z=1.28 for the value of the test statistic. Thus the p-value of the test is approximately equal to?arrow_forward
- A researcher conducts a hypothesis test using a sample of n = 20 with M = 34 and s 2 = 36 from an unknown population. What is the df value for the t statistic?arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothesis statement using α=0.10 and the following data from two independent samples. Complete parts a and b below.
