Answer to Problem 13E

The claim is that “the variance in the number of calories differs between the two brands”.

Null hypothesis: H0:σ12=σ22

Alternative hypothesis: H1:σ12>σ22 (claim)

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data shows the areas (in square miles).

Justification:

Here, the claim is that “the variance in area is greater for eastern cities than for western cities”. This can be written as σ12>σ22 . The complement of the claim is σ12=σ22 . In the given experiment, the alternative hypothesis indicates the claim.

Answer to Problem 13E

The conclusion is that, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the variance in area is greater for eastern cities than for western cities at 5% level of significance.

The conclusion is that, there is no enough evidence to support the claim that the variance in area is greater for eastern cities than for western cities at 1% level of significance.

Explanation of Solution

Justification:

For 5% level:

From part (d), the null hypothesis is rejected. Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the variance in area is greater for eastern cities than for western citiesat 5% level of significance.

For 1% level:

From part (d), the null hypothesis is not rejected. Thus, there is no enough evidence to support the claim that the variance in area is greater for eastern cities than for western cities at 1% level of significance.

    Maria has two routes, E and W, she can take when commuting to work. Both routes go through a railroad crossing, and sometimes she needs to stop at the crossing to allow trains to pass. She claims that the proportion of times she needs to stop when taking route E is different from the proportion of times she needs to stop when taking route W. She conducted the following hypothesis test at the significance level of α=0.10.   H0:pE=pWHa:pE≠pW In the hypotheses, pE represents the proportion of times she needs to stop at the crossing when using route E, and pWrepresents the proportion of times she needs to stop at the crossing when using route W. All conditions for inference were met, and the resulting p-value was 0.37. Which of the following is the correct decision for the test?     The p-value is less than α, and the null hypothesis is rejected. There is convincing evidence to support the claim that the proportion of times she needs to stop at the crossing is different for the…
