- a Use Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test to determine if the locations of the distributions of scores for these students differ significantly for the two subjects. Give bounds for the p-value and indicate the appropriate conclusion with α = .05.
- b State specific null and alternative hypotheses for the test that you conducted in part (a).

A tax accountant would like to test the claim that the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is less than 0.20. If the z− test statistic was calculated as z=−2.11, does the tax accountant have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis? Assume α=0.005.
Move the blue dot to choose the appropriate test (left-, right, or two-tailed). Then, use the graph below to show the test statistic, p-value, and the rejection region to make a conclusion about the hypothesis test.

population mean is greater than 2.5 . Use a=.05
The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with ? = 0.32 and that x = 5.21. (Use ? = 0.05.)
(a) Does this indicate conclusively that the true average percentage differs from 5.5?State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≠ 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≥ 5.5 H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? < 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? > 5.5
Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
