Chapter 7, Problem 7.3.41RE
In Exercises 41 and 42, (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (b) find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s), (c) find the standardized test statistic t, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the population is
41. A fitness magazine advertises that the mean monthly cost of joining a health club is $25. You want to test this claim. You find that a random sample of 18 clubs has a mean monthly cost of $26.25 and a standard deviation of $3.23. At α = 0.10, do you have enough evidence to reject the advertisement’s claim?

The bad debt ratio for a financial institution is defined to be the dollar value of loans defaulted divided by the total dollar value of all loans made. Suppose that a random sample of sixty-five banks in Illinois is selected and that their bad debt ratios (recorded as a percentage) are presented in the sample.
Banking officials claim that the mean bad debt ratio for all Midwestern banks is 3.5 percent and that the mean bad debt ratio for Illinois banks is higher. What is the null hypothesis? What is the t-value?

A group of transfer bound students wondered if they will spend the same mean amount on texts and supplies each year at their four-year university as they have at their community college. They conducted a random survey of 54 students at their community college and 66 students at their local four-year university. The sample means were $949 and $1015, respectively. The population standard deviations are known to be $255 and $89, respectively. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to determine if the means are statistically the same. Let subscript c = community college and u = four-year university.
1. State the distribution to use for the test. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
X ~ ______ (________ , _________)
2. Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value.
In Exercises 5–20, conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the P-value and/or critical value, and state the conclusion.
Bias in Clinical Trials? Researchers investigated the issue of race and equality of access to clinical trials. The following table shows the population distribution and the numbers of participants in clinical trials involving lung cancer (based on data from “Participation in Cancer Clinical Trials,” by Murthy, Krumholz, and Gross, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 22). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the distribution of clinical trial participants fits well with the population distribution. Is there a race/ethnic group that appears to be very underrepresented?

- What Proportion of College Students Are Satisfied with Their Overall Academic Expereince? Exercise 2.16 introduces a survey of 5204 first-year full-time college students in the US. The survey was administered at the end of the first year, and 4122 of the students in the sample said that they were satisfied with their overall academic experience during the first year. Does the data from this sample provide evidence that more than 75% of US full-time students are satisfied with their overall academic experience at the end of their first year? Give all details of the hypothesis test. Test-statistic = (round to the nearest whole)p-value = (round to three decimal places)Conclusion:.

- An expert at the Icelandic Meteorological Office is tasked with investigating whether the air quality in the capital area is in accordance with health protection limits. According to them, dust particles should not amount to more than 50 micrograms per cubic meter. The expert collects readings from around the town between 9 and 10 in the morning a. State and perform a one-sided hypothesis test (at a 2% level of significance) about whether the population mean is greater than 50 micrograms. NOTE that the Norwegian Meteorological Agency assumes that the air quality is acceptable unless there is strong evidence that this is not the case. b. Show the result of the test in a picture. What does the result tell you about the sampling distribution of the sample mean? c. What is the p-value and what does it tell you? Show it in the picture you made in part b d. Draw the power function of the hypothesis test e. The measuring devices that are used to measure air quality can be problematic, so…arrow_forwardExercise 1. The director of a state agency believes that the average starting salary for clerical employees in the state is less than $30,000 per year. To test her hypothesis, she has collected a simple random sample of 100 starting clerical salaries from across the state and found that the sample mean is $29,750.a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.b. Assuming the population standard deviation is known to be $2,500 and the significance level for the test is to be 0.05, what is the critical value (stated in dollars)?arrow_forwardCalculate the test statistic x2 and the pvaluearrow_forward
- At the 5% significance level, does it appear that price of bus trips per week, population or average rate to park your personal vehicle can be removed from the model as unnecessary? In responding, construct and test any appropriate hypothesis.arrow_forward17% of all college students volunteer their time. Is the percentage of college students who are volunteers different for students receiving financial aid? Of the 351 randomly selected students who receive financial aid, 74 of them volunteered their time. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.10 level of significance? a. test statistic b. p-value c. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... a. The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 17% at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of financial aid recipients who volunteer is equal to 17%. b. The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 17% at αα = 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of financial aid recipients who volunteer is different from 17%. c. The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly different from 17% at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the…arrow_forwardIndicate whether CPAs in states that have flat state income tax rates work fewer hours per week during tax season compared to the US average. You will want to formally set up H0 and Ha, report either the test statistic (z-value) or p-value, and explain why you either reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis.arrow_forward
