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.
25. Coupon Use In today’s economy, everyone has become savings savvy. It is still believed, though, that a higher percentage of women than men clip coupons. A random survey of 180 female shoppers indicated that 132 clipped coupons while 56 out of 100 men did so. At α = 0.01, is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of couponing women is higher than the proportion of couponing men? Use the P-value method.

- 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_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_forwardPlease show work, and show all parts of the hypothesis too, with the conclusion that was reached about her beliefarrow_forward
- Given that the P-value for the hypothesis test is 0.501, what do you conclude? Does it appear that the heights were obtained through measurement or that the subjects reported their heights?arrow_forwardThe average life expectancy of tires produced by the Whitney Tire Company has been 40,000 miles. Management believes that due to a new production process, the life expectancy of its tires has increased. In order to test the validity of this belief, the correct set of hypotheses is a. H 0: μ ≥ 40,000 H a: μ < 40,000 b. H 0: μ ≤ 40,000 H a: μ > 40,000 c. H 0: μ < 40,000 H a: μ ≥ 40,000 d. H 0: μ > 40,000 H a: μ ≤ 40,000arrow_forwardSolve the problems by following the steps and procedures in hypothesis testing. PRACTICE QUESTIONarrow_forward

- Buyers 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_forwardGiven 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_forwardAn economist has collected data on the number of house foreclosures. The published share of housing units with a foreclosure filing is 0.47%. The economist believes, based on the data she collected, that the share of housing units with a foreclosure filing is different from 0.47%. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Select the correct answer below: H0: μ≠0.47%; Ha: μ=0.47% H0: μ=0.47%; Ha: μ≥0.47% H0: μ=0.47%; Ha: μ≤0.47% H0: μ=0.47%; Ha: μ≠0.47%arrow_forward
