Textbook Question
Chapter 9.1, Problem 6E
Does It Make Sense? For Exercises 5–12, determine whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly. Not all of these statements have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
- 6. P-Value. A researcher conducts a hypothesis test to test the claim that a new drug is effective in lowering LDL cholesterol. The P-value for the test is 0.001, and the researcher claims that this supports the claim.

You think your car’s fuel efficiency is much lower than it should be. The average fuel efficiency of your car that the car manufacturer claim is 27 mpg. Your car’s fuel efficiency is 22 mpg.
A). which test would be conducted, z-test or t-test, and why?
A business wants to lower its price level to increase sales of its goods. However, for the price reduction to be beneficial, the increase in sales after the price decrease must be greater than 10%. After the business lowers its prices, it monitors its sales for 60 days and determines that the rate of increase in sales is 13% on average. Should the business maintain the low price level practice? What is the hypothesis and decision for α = 0.05?

This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 15 million out of the 312.7million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 4.8%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea. They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population’s percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.8%, a simple random sample of 339 commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 7 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.8%? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
