Concept explainers
For Exercises 7 through 27, perform these steps.
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value(s).
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.
Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified.
23. Interview Errors It has been found that many first-time interviewees commit errors that could very well affect the outcome of the interview. An astounding 77% are guilty of using their cell phones or texting during the interview! A researcher wanted to see if the proportion of male offenders differed from the proportion of female ones. Out of 120 males, 72 used their cell phone and 80 of 150 females did so. At the 0.01 level of significance is there a difference?

- Use the 7 steps in Hypothesis Testing in answering the problems below.arrow_forwardBrown wants to conduct an assessment of where employees live and how employees work. Brown wanted to know if where you lived was related to how you worked. What hypothesis tests can be used in this case?arrow_forwardA dental assistant is interested in the proportion of patients that need a root canal. Let the proportion of patients that need a root canal be p. If the dental assistant wanted to know if the proportion of patients that need a root canal is more than 20%, what are the null and alternative hypotheses? Select the correct answer below: H0: p=0.20; Ha: p<0.20 H0: p>0.20; Ha: p=0.20 H0: p=0.20; Ha: p>0.20 H0: μ=0.20; Ha: μ>0.20arrow_forward
- The academic planner of a university thinks that less than 35% of the entire student body attends summer school. The correct set of hypotheses to verify his belief is _____.arrow_forwardState the null and alternative hypotheses to be used in testing the following claims also explain type of test.(a) At most, 20% of next year’s wheat crop will be exported to the Soviet Union.(b) On the average, American homemakers drink 3 cups of coffee per day.(c) The proportion of college graduates in Virginia this year who majored in the social sciences is at least 0.15.(d) The average donation to the American Lung Association is no more than $10.(e) Residents in suburban Richmond commute, on the average, 15 kilometers to their place of employmentarrow_forwardBuyers are skeptical of an ATV advertisement that claims the newest model 4-wheeler gets an average of 17 miles per gallon. They believe the dealer is understating the average. Which null and alternative hypotheses should the buyer's test? Let µ represent the true average gas mileage. Group of answer choices H0: µ > 17 miles per gallon, Ha: µ ≥ 17 miles per gallon H0: µ ≤ 17 miles per gallon, Ha: µ < 17 miles per gallon H0: µ = 17 miles per gallon, Ha: µ > 17 miles per gallon H0: µ = 17 miles per gallon, Ha: µ < 17 miles per gallon H0: µ = 17 miles per gallon, Ha: µ ≠ 17 miles per gallonarrow_forward
- Given the situation below, create a problem and determine (a) the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) test statistic, (c) rejection region, and (d) applicability of the CLT.arrow_forwardWrite the following five steps of hypothesis test: 1. Set a set of hypotheses 2. Determine rejection rule with a given a (Fa). 3. Compute test statistic (F-Value) 4. Make judgment 5. Interpretation with p-value Utilize excel output to conduct your answers.arrow_forwardYou are working for the South Tahoe Tourist Bureau and are interested in determining if there is a relationship between the casino people frequent and the type of gambling that they do at the casino Table Games Slots Sports Harrah’s 50 60 12 Hard Rock 18 22 6 MontBleu 33 29 20 Harvey’s 41 39 20 a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. b. State which hypothesis test should be used. Calculate the p-Value and state the command you entered in the calculator. c. State the conclusion in the context of the problem.arrow_forward
- You are given the following hypotheses H 0 :p=0.3 H A :p not equal 0.3 We know that the sample size 90. For what sample proportion would the pvalue be equal to 0.1? Assume that all conditions necessary for Inference are satisfied.arrow_forwardFor each pair of hypotheses that follows, decide whether H₀ and H₁ are set up correctly as the null and alternative hypotheses for a hypothesis test. If so, select “Valid” from the drop down menu. If not, select “Invalid”. 1 H₀: M = 165 2 H₀: μ = 39 H₁: M ≠ 165 H₁: μ ≠ 39 3 H₀: μ = 344 4 H₀: µ = 79 H₁: μ ≠ 344 H₁: µ ≠ 86 You always evaluate the results of an experiment by assessing the .arrow_forwardGiven the following null and alternative hypotheses, complete parts a and b. H0: σ2=100 HA: σ2≠100 a. Test when n=25, s=9, and α=0.10. Be certain to state the decision rule. State the decision rule. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in any answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) A. If the test statistic, χ2>χ2α=_____, reject H0. B. If the test statistic, χ2<χ21−α=_____, reject H0. C. If the test statistic, χ2>χ20.05= ______, reject H0. or if the test statistic, χ2<χ20.95=______, reject H0.arrow_forward
