- Question Heip An education researcher claims that at most 3% of working college students are employed as teachers or teaching assistants. In a random sample of 400 working college students, 5% are employed as teachers or teaching assistants.. At = 0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H, and Ha. Identify the claim in this scenario. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) O A. % of working college students are employed as teachers or teaching assistants. O B. The percentage of working college students who are employed as teachers or teaching assistants is not %.

In Exercises 5–16, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population. Body Temperature Example 5 in Section 8-3 involved a test of the claim that humans have body temperatures with a mean equal to 98.6°F. The sample of 106 body temperatures has a standard deviation of 0.62°F. The conclusion in that example would change if the sample standard deviation s were 2.08°F or greater. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample of 106 body temperatures is from a population with a standard deviation less than 2.08°F. What does the result tell us about the validity of the hypothesis test in Example 5 in Section 8-3?arrow_forwardAnswer these questions A, B, C and D questionarrow_forward
