Chapter 10.4, Problem 39E
Refer to Exercise 10.30. Calculate the value of β for the alternative pα = .15.
10.30 A manufacturer claimed that at least 20% of the public preferred her product. A sample of 100 persons is taken to check her claim. With α = .05, how small would the sample percentage need to be before the claim could legitimately be refuted? (Notice that this would involve a one-tailed lest of the hypothesis.)

Suppose that a researcher obtains a correlation of r = +.40 for a sample of n = 30 participants. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that a correlation exists in the population? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.
Group of answer choices
r-critical = .361, Reject H0 (Conclude there is a correlation in the population)
r-critical = .349, Reject H0 (Conclude there is a correlation in the population)
r-critical = .361, Fail to Reject H0 (Conclude there is no correlation in the population)
r-critical = .349, Fail to Reject H0 (Conclude there is no correlation in the population)
A sample of n = 4 individuals is selected from a normal population with μ = 70 and σ = 10. A treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample, and after the treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 75.Part A. On the basis of the sample data, can you conclude that the treatment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.Part B. Suppose that the sample consisted of n = 25 individuals and produced a mean of M = 75. Repeat the hypothesis test at the .05 level of significance.Part C. Compare the results from part (a) and part (b). How does the sample size influence the outcome of a hypothesis test?Your answers for parts (A), (B), and (C) respectively are
A) N.S. (meaning "Not Significant"); significant; larger n means MORE likely to be significant
B) significant; N.S.; larger n means MORE likely to be significant
C) N.S.; significant; larger n means LESS likely to be significant
D) significant; N.S.; larger n means LESS likely to be significant
ndependent random samples are selected from two populations and are used to test the hypothesis Hn: (H, - H2) = 0 against the alternative H,: (4, - H2) #0. An analysis of 232 observations from population 1 and 311 from population 2 yielded
p-value of 0.113. Complete parts a and b below.
a. Interpret the results of the computer analysis. Use as0.10.
A. Since this p-value exceeds the given value of a, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different.
O B. Since the given a value exceeds this p-value, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different.
OC. Since the given a value exceeds this p-value, there
sufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different.
O D. Since this p-value exceeds the given value of , there is sufficient evidence to indicate that the population means are different.
b. If the alternative hypothesis had been Ha: (H1 - H2) <0, how would the p-value change? Interpret the p-value…
