Only 19% of registered voters voted in the last election. Will voter participation decline for the upcoming election? Of the 321 randomly selected registered voters surveyed, 45 of them will vote in the upcoming election. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.10 level of significance?
For this study, we should use : t-test for a population mean or z-test for a population proportion
The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
H0:H0: ? p μ Select an answer < ≠ > = (please enter a decimal)
H1:H1: ? μ p Select an answer > < = ≠ (Please enter a decimal)
The test statistic ? t or z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
The p-value is ? ≤ > αα
Based on this, we should: fail to reject, reject or accept the null hypothesis.
Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly lower than 19% at αα = 0.10, so there is…
A survey about allergic reactions revealed that 77 out of randomly selected 147 people exhibit allergic symptons. The percentage of the whole country is believed to be 40% for such allergic symptons. Please find the test statistic for hypothesis testing at right tail (sensitivity:0.00)
The means of the two random samples of 1000 and 2000 are 67.5 and 68.0 inches respectively. Can
the samples be regarded to have been drawn from the same population of standard deviation 9.5 inches?
Test at 5% level of significance.
Also write objective, null and alternate hypothesis.
