Chapter 13, Problem 6RE
Using Nonparametric Tests. In Exercises 1–10, use a 0.05 significance level with the indicated test. If no particular test is specified, use the appropriate nonparametric test from this chapter.
6. Accuracy of Weather Forecasts The author conducted a study of the accuracy of weather forecasts by recording the actual high temperatures along with the high temperatures that were forecast 5 days earlier. Differences (actual minus forecast) for 35 clays arc listed below. Use a 0.05 significance level with the sign test to test the claim that the population of differences has a median of zero. What do the results suggest about the accuracy of the forecasts?

Question 8 options:
When you are observing private or confidential activities
When you are obtaining information from infants, children, animals, or anyone who cannot speak or answer questions accurately
When the data should be more reliable than from interviews or questionnaires
When you need to use the information to form a hypothesis
In a statistical test, we have a choice of a left-tailed test, a right-tailed test, or a two-tailed test. Is it the null hypothesis or the alternate hypothesis that determines which type of test is used? Explain your answer.
The alternative hypothesis because it specifies what the level of significance of the test will be.
The null hypothesis because it specifies what the level of significance of the test will be.
The null hypothesis because it specifies the region of interest for the parameter in question.
The alternative hypothesis because it specifies the region of interest for the parameter in question.

A sample of a dimension existing 800 data points was collected from the process during a time that it was operating successfully. The sample standard deviation was .21 and since the number of samples was so large this was considered to be the population standard deviation. The consulting firm then suggested that data be collected in groups of 30 to periodically monitor and correct the process. The design specification was determined to be 12. The hypothesis test suggested by the consulting firm was: Ho: μ = 12 H1: μ ≠ 12 Corrective action will be taken whenever Ho is rejected.

The investigators work out the average and SD of the 25 measurements; the average is 299,789.2 kilometers per second and the SD is 12 kilometers per second. (Assume the Gauss model, with no bias.) It is assumed that all units are kilometers per second. Find an approximate 95%-confidence interval for the speed of light. Enter numeric answers for the lower and upper endpoints of the interval here; be sure to show your work. (a) The 95% confidence interval for the speed of light is to .

Frito-Lay produces snack-sized bags of Doritos with 1.75-ounce bags. Unfortunately, Frito-Lay has received many complaints that the bags of chips lack the promised amount of chips. PepsiCo, the owner of Frito-Lay, decide to run an internal investigation of their Doritos chip production. They sample around 500 bags of chips to discover that they found an average of 1.59 ounces with a standard deviation of .12 ounces. Conduct a hypothesis test with an alpha-level of .05. Should they change their production of Doritos chips to match the 1.75 ounces on the bag?arrow_forward
- (Please do not give solution in image format thanku) 1. The national average for SAT mathematics scores is 500 with a standard deviation of 110. The Board of Education for a local school district is concerned that the mean SAT math score from their district is significantly lower than the national average. Given that the mean SAT mathematics score for a random sample of 100 local freshmen is 464, is there reason to believe that the Board of Education's concerns are justified? Use an appropriate test of hypothesis to address this concern.arrow_forwardQuestion- "A random sample of 130 human body temperatures has a mean of 98.25◦ F and a standard deviation of 0.73◦ F.
