An automobile mileage study tested the following hypotheses.
Hypothesis Conclusion
H0: µ 25 mpg Manufacturer’s claim supported
Ha: µ 25 mpg Manufacturer’s claim rejected; average mileage
per gallon less than stated
For σ 3 and a .02 level of significance, what sample size would be recommended if the
researcher wants an 80% chance of detecting that µ is less than 25 miles per gallon when
it is actually 24?
Also, using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2009 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values.
Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2009 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
A researcher who wants to know whether the proportion of male births in a hospital is different from the established baseline of 51.07%, would like to test the following hypotheses:
Ho:P = 0.51 vs. Ha :P = does not equal 0.51
a) Is the alternative hypothesis upper tail, lower tail, or two tailed?
b) What do you conclude if the test results p-value of 0.03 at alpha value = 5%
c) What do you conclude if the test results p-value of 0.08 at alpha value = 10%

- Reynir examines the difference in the amount of carbon dioxide in two types of mineral water. He performs a two-group t-test to compare the average carbon dioxide levels in the two groups. His hypotheses are H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0 og H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0. Reynir also calculated a confidence interval for the difference between the means of the two groups α and in the hypothesis test). Reynir rejected the null hypothesis. Which of the following applies to the safety margin calculated by Reynir?a) It contains the value zero.b) It contains 95% of the values that can occur when the experiment is performed.c) It does not contain the value zero.d) It contains both values greater than zero and values less than zero.arrow_forwardThe proportion of mango trees on an island that produce only dwarf fruit is p1.
