True or False: Explain
Suppose that OLS is unbiased for the following bivariate model: Y = B0 +B1X +u and suppose that the true slope coefficient B1 = 7. If you use the standard t-statistic to test the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is equal to 0, the probability that you will reject the null hypothesis will increase if you reduce your sample size.
What would you conclude based on an
α=0.05
level?
We
reject
the null hypothesis and
do not accept
the alternative hypothesis since there
is
sufficient evidence that the proportion of all vehicles that meet or exceed current fuel economy standards is
greater
than 90% due to the p-value being
greater
than the
α
level.
Explain the results of your hypothesis test. What does the p-value signify? Would you say the observed outcome was unusual? If so, how unusual was the outcome?
Based on a poll of 1000 residents, a newspaper article claims that 62% of the residents in town favor the development of a recreational park on the west side of town. A community action group interested in preserving the environment claims that 45% of the town’s residents favor the development of a recreational park.
To determine whether the sample supports the population proportion, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample of 200, using the point estimate of the population. The minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.46 and the maximum sample proportion is 0.76.
a. What is the point estimate of the population?
b. The margin of error of the population proportion is found using an estimate of the standard deviation. What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion?
c.The margin of error of the population proportion is found using the half the range.
What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion?
d. Is the community action…

The tested price of speakers (of low and high) and sound amplitude (soft and loud), as some research shows the louder speakers sound better to people. He asked participants to rate the sound quality of the speakers they listened to from 0-10, with a score of 10 being the highest quality.

- In a certain survey, 508 people chose to respond to this question: "Should passwords be replaced with biometric security (fingerprints, etc)?" Among the respondents, 55% said "yes." We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Are any of the three requirements violated? Can a test about a population proportion using the normal approximation method be used? It was stated that we can easily remember how to interpret P-values with this: "If the P is low, the null must go." What does this mean? Another memory trick commonly used is this: "If the P is high, the null will fly." Given that a hypothesis test never results in a conclusion of proving or supporting a null hypothesis, how is this memory trick misleading? Common significance levels are 0.01 and 0.05. Why would it be unwise to use a significance level with a number like 0.0483?arrow_forwardSuppose a study reported that the average persin watched 3.37 hours of television per day. a random sample of 15 people gave the number of hours of television watched per day shown below. at the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficent evidence to conclude that the amount of television watched per day last year by the average person is greater than the value reported in the study?

She works through the testing procedure: H0:μ=32; Ha:μ<32 α=0.02 The test statistic is t0=x¯−μ0sn√=−1.956. The critical value is −t0.02=−2.177. At the 2% significance level, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean lifespan of fruit flies is less than 32 days? Select the correct answer below: We should reject the null hypothesis because t0<tα. So, at the 2% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average lifespan of fruit flies is less than 32 days. We should not reject the null hypothesis because t0<tα. So, at the 2% significance level, the data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average lifespan of fruit flies is less than 32 days. We should reject the null hypothesis because t0>tα. So, at the 2% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average lifespan…arrow_forward
