Concept explainers
In Exercises 5–20, conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the P-value and/or critical value, and stale the conclusion.
11. Police Calls The police department in Madison, Connecticut, released the following numbers of calls for the different days of the week during a February that had 28 days: Monday (114); Tuesday (152); Wednesday (160); Thursday (164); Friday (179); Saturday (196); Sunday (130). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the different days of the week have the same frequencies of police calls. Is there anything notable about the observed frequencies?

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardIn a recent survey, it was stated that Americans watch television on average four hours per day. Assume that σ = 2. Using 40 students as the sample, conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the average for students at your school is lower:arrow_forwardHow is the p value used to reach a conclusion in a hypothesis testing procedure?arrow_forward
- Last year, 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicates that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. a. How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees this year? b. Suppose the business owners in the sample did as they Compute the p-value for a hypothesis test that can be used to determine if the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts had decreased from last year. c. Using a .05 level of significance, would you conclude that the proportion of business owners providing gifts decreased? what is the smallest level of significance for which you could draw such a conclusion?arrow_forwardLast year, the proportion of tax filers that received a refund was 25%. An accountant believes this upcoming tax year will have a smaller proportion of tax refunds than the proportion from last year. Interested in studying this further, the accountant samples a few of their clients and determines the proportion that receive a refund for this upcoming tax year is 19%. As the accountant sets up a hypothesis test to determine if their belief about this upcoming tax year is correct, what is the accountant's claim?arrow_forwardCan you help me determine the test statistic, the P-value, and the conclusion for this hypothesis test?arrow_forward
- In Exercises 1–4, use these results from a USA Today survey in which 510 people chose to respond to this question that was posted on the USA Today website: “Should Americans replace passwords with biometric security (fingerprints, etc)?” Among the respondents, 53% said “yes.” We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security. Equivalence of Methods If we use the same significance level to conduct the hypothesis test using the P value method, the critical value method, and a confidence interval, which method is not equivalent to the other two?arrow_forwardWhat is the formula for a 2-sample hypothesis test?arrow_forwardWhat do we try to do in hypothesis testing? Briefly discuss.arrow_forward
