For each of the questions 1-4, answer the following (a-h are steps in a Hypothesis Test, see page 376 of your ebook). For steps f and g do both the p-value
method and the critical value method:
a) Claim in English:
b) Claim in Symbolic Form:
c) Null and Alternate Hypothesis:
d) Significance Level:
e) Test Statistic:
f) Find Values:
g) Make a Decision:
h) Restate the Decision in Nontechnical Terms:
i) If this is a statistically significant result, is it also a practically significant result?
a.In an aquaculture study the following variables were measured on each fish: sex. Initial weight (g), bodytemperature (C), weight gain (g). For each variable indicate the scale of measurement.
(b) A weed killer is to be applied at a rate of two ounces per 1000gallons of water (2oz/1000gallons). What is the application rate in ml/1000litrtrs if there are 28.375 ml/oz and 4.5liters/gallon?
(c) The term test scores of 15 students enrolled in a Business statistics class were recorded inascending order as follows 4, 7, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 15, 15, 17, 17, 19, 19, 20. After calculatingthe mean, median and the mode an error is discovered: one of the 15’s is really a 17. Of the threemeasures of central tendency which will change?
(d) A student discovers that his grade on a recent test was the 72 nd percentile. If 90 students wrotethe test, then approximately how many students received a higher grade than he did?
1. Can balloons hold more air or more water before bursting? A student purchased a large bag
of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly
assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water
until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the
balloons burst.
Here's the data:
Air (ft')
Water (ft)
0.52
0.44
0.58
0.41
0.50
0.55
0.46
0.61
0.38
0.45
Does the data give convincing evidence air filled balloons can attain a greater volume than
water filled balloons?
