Chapter 11.1, Problem 25E
In Exercises 25–28, use a right-tailed test and (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (b) find the critical value, (c) find the test statistic, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
25. Weekly Earnings A labor organization claims that the median weekly earnings of female workers is less than or equal to $765. To test this claim, you randomly select 50 female workers and ask each to provide her weekly earnings. The table shows the results. At a = 0.01, can you reject the organization’s claim? (Adapted from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
| Weekly earnings | Number of workers |
| Less than $765 | 18 |
| $765 | 3 |
| More then $765 | 29 |

A research center claims that at least 40% of U.S. adults think the Census count is accurate. In a random sample of 600 U.S. adults, 35% say that the Census count is accurate. At ⍶ = 0.02 is there enough evidence to reject the center’s claim?
In Exercises 9.63–9.68, we have given the value obtained for the test statistic, z, in a one-mean z-test. We have also specified whether the test is two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed. Determine the P-value in each case and decide whether, at the 5% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

- In Exercises, use either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform the required hypothesis test. Ballistic Fingerprinting. Guns make unique markings on bullets they fire and their shell casings. These markings are called ballistic ngerprints. An ABCNEWS Poll examined the opinions of Americans on the enactment of a law “. . . that would require every gun sold in the United States to be test-red first, so law enforcement would have its fingerprint in case it were ever used in a crime.” The following problem is based on the results of that poll. Independent simple random samples were taken of 537 women and 495 men. When asked whether they support a ballistic fingerprinting law, 446 of the women and 307 of the men said “yes.” At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that women tend to favor ballistic fingerprinting more than men?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 5–18, test the given claim. Tennis Challenges The table below shows results since 2006 of challenged referee calls in the U.S. Open. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the gender of the tennis player is independent of whether the call is overturned. Do players of either gender appear to be better at challenging calls?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 9.15–9.22, hypothesis tests are proposed. For eachhypothesis test, a. determine the null hypothesis. b. determine the alternative hypothesis. c. classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed. Body Temperature. A study by researchers at the University of Maryland addressed the question of whether the mean body tem-perature of humans is 98.6◦F. The results of the study by P. Mack-owiak et al. appeared in the article “A Critical Appraisal of 98.6◦F, the Upper Limit of the Normal Body Temperature, and Other Lega-cies of Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich” (Journal ofthe American Medical Association, Vol. 268, pp. 1578–1580). Among other data, the researchers obtained the body temperatures of93 healthy humans. Suppose that you want to use those data to decide whether the mean body temperature of healthy humans differs from 98.6◦Farrow_forward
- Minnesota had the highest turnout rate of any state for the 2012 Presidential election (United States Election Project website, February 9, 2013). Political analysts wonder if turnout in rural Minnesota was higher than turnout in the urban areas of the state. A sample shows that 663 of 884 registered voters from rural Minnesota voted in the 2012 Presidential election, while 414 out of 575 registered voters from urban Minnesota voted. At α = .05, test the hypothesis. What is the p-value, and what conclusion do you to draw from your results (to 4 decimals)? Use z-table?arrow_forwardprovide an example of hypothesis testing using the t score testarrow_forwardAn air conditioning unity company stockpiles air conditioning units in a large warehouse for shipment to retail stores. Sometimes in handling them the appliances get damaged. Even though the damage may be minor, the company must sell those units at drastically reduced prices. The company goal is to keep the level of damaged machines below 4%. One day an inspector randomly checks 53 air conditioning units and finds that 8 of them are damaged. Is this strong evidence that the warehouse is failing to meet the company goal? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure the appropriate assumptions and conditions are satisfied before you proceed. State the null and alternate hypothesis, and find the z-statistic and the p-valuearrow_forward
- Classify the conclusion of the hypothesis test as a Type I error, a Type II error, or a correct decision. In 1992, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 479. Five years later, a teacher wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average math SAT score of students at the school has changed from the 1992 mean of 479. The hypotheses are: H0:μ =479 H1:μ ≠479 Suppose that the results of the sampling lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion as a Type I error, a Type II error, or a correct decision, if in fact the average math SAT score of students at the school has changed from the 1992 mean of 479.arrow_forwardThe business college computing center wants to determine the proportion of business students who have personal computers at home. If the proportion differs from 30% , then the lab will modify a proposed enlargement of its facilities. Suppose a hypothesis test is conducted and the test statistic is 2.5. Find the P value for a two tailed test of hypothesis.arrow_forward5. It is claimed that the proportion of high school athletes who go on to play sports in college is 0.08. Believing this claimed value is incorrect, a researcher surveys a random sample of former high school athletes and finds that the proportion who went on to play sports in college is 0.07. When a hypothesis test is conducted at a significance (or alpha) level of 0.10, the P-value is found to be 0.06. What decision should the researcher make based on the results of the hypothesis test? 1. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.06 is less than 0.10. 2. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.06 is less than 0.07. 3. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.06 is less than 0.08. 4. The null hypothesis should be rejected because 0.07 is less than 0.08. 5. The null hypothesis should not be rejected.arrow_forward

The minimum wage earners of the National Capital Region are believed to be receiving less than Php 5,000.00 per day. The CEO of a large supermarket chain in the region is claiming to be paying its contractual higher than the minimum daily wage rate of Php 500.00 To check on this claim, a labour union leader obtained a random sample of 144 contractual employees from this supermarket chain. The survey of their daily wage earnings resulted to an average wage of Php 510.00 per day with standard deviation of Php 100.00. The daily wage of the region is assumed to follow a distribution with unknown population variance. Perform a test of hypothesis at 5% level of significance to help the labour union leader make an empirical based conclusion on the CEO's claim.
