Chapter 8, Problem 8.3.24RE
In Exercises 23 and 24, (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Hα, (b) find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s), (c) calculate
24. A physical fitness instructor claims that a weight loss supplement will help users lose weight after two weeks. The table shows the weights (in pounds) of 9 adults before using the supplement and two weeks after using the supplement. At α = 0.10, is there enough evidence to support the physical fitness instructor’s claim?

A company manager wants to compare the satisfaction levels of his customers from two stores belonging to his company. According to his research, 249 out of 300 people are satisfied with shop A, and 348 out of 400 people are satisfied with shop B. Which of the following hypothesis states that there is a significant difference between customer satisfaction levels?
H0 : P1 < P2, H1 : P1 ≥ P2
H0 : P1 ≥ P2, H1 : P1 < P2
H0 : P1 > P2, H1 : P1 < P2
H0 : P1 = P2, H1 : P1 ≠ P2
H0 : P1 ≠ P2, H1 : P1 < P2
In Exercises, hypothesis tests are proposed. For each hypothesis test,
a.identify the variable.b.identify the two populations.c.determine the null and alternative hypotheses.d.classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.
Neurosurgery Operative Times. An Arizona State University professor, R. Jacobowitz, Ph.D., in consultation with G. Vishteh, M.D., and other neurosurgeons obtained data on operative times, in minutes, for both a dynamic system (Z-plate) and a static system (ALPS plate). They wanted to perform a hypothesis test to decide whether the mean operative time isless with the dynamic system than with the static system.
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.
