Pollution and altitude: In a random sample of 346 cars driven at low altitudes, 51 of them exceeded a standard of 11 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed. In an independent random sample of 80 cars driven at high altitudes, 20 of them exceeded the standard. Can you conclude that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard differs from the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard? Let p1 denote the proportion of low altitude vehicles exceeding the standard and p2 denote the proportion of high altitude vehicles exceeding the standard. Use the a=0.05 level of significance and p-value method with the TI-84 plus calculator.
The one-tailed test of hypothesis, H0: u = 100 versus Ha: u > 100.Suppose the test statistic is z = 2.71. Find the p-value of the test and the rejection region for thetest when alpha = 0.01. Draw the distribution and label rejection / fail-to-reject regions.
P-value is -.055
You are asked to make a decision about whether to reject the null hypothesis that the population value of gamma equals 0 (i.e., that there is no ordinary association in the population between frequency of prayer and health). If alpha = 0.05 and you use a non-directional alternative hypothesis, which of the following is true?)
A. Since the p-value is larger than alpha, you do not reject the null hypothesis
B. Since the p-value is less than alpha, you do not reject the null hypothesis
C. Since the p-value is larger than alpha, you reject the null hypothesis.
D. Since the p-value is less than alpha, you reject the null hypothesis

- A veterinary nutritionist developed a diet for overweight dogs. The total volume of food consumed remains the same, but one-half of the dog food is replaced with a low-calorie “filler” such as canned green beans. Six overweight dogs were randomly selected from her practice and were put on this program. Their initial weights were recorded, and they were weighed again after 4 weeks.
