Finding P-values. In Exercises 5鈥8, either use technology to find the P-value or use Table A-3 to find a range of values for the P-value.

Airport Data Speeds: The claim that for Verizon data speeds at airports, the mean. The sample size is and the test statistic is

t =-1.625 .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The p-value lies between 0.10 and 0.20.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The claim states that the mean of data speeds is =14.00mbps

The sample size is n=13with the test statistic t=-1.625.

02

State the hypotheses

As per the claim, the hypotheses are stated as follows.

H0:=14(nullhypothesis)H1:14(alternativehypothesisandoriginalclaim)

Hence, it is a two-tailed test.

03

Compute the degrees of freedom 

The degrees of freedom for the given set of data are as follows.

df=n-1=13-1=12

04

Computing p-value using Table A-3

The test is a two-tailed with 12 degrees of freedom and test statistic value of

-1.625.

In Table A-3, check for the value 1.625 in the row with 12 degrees of freedom to see test statistic. The value 1.625 lies between 1.356 and 1.782.

The corresponding two-tailed area indicates the P-value between 0.10 and 0.20.

Hence, this can be written as 0.10<P-value<0.20

Thus, the range ofp-value is 0.10 and 0.20.

Technology. In Exercises 9鈥12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Tornadoes Data Set 22 鈥淭ornadoes鈥 in Appendix B includes data from 500 random tornadoes. The accompanying StatCrunch display results from using the tornado lengths (miles) to test the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.5 miles.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9鈥32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Tennis Instant Replay The Hawk-Eye electronic system is used in tennis for displaying an instant replay that shows whether a ball is in bounds or out of bounds so players can challenge calls made by referees. In a recent U.S. Open, singles players made 879 challenges and 231 of them were successful, with the call overturned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that fewer than 1/ 3 of the challenges are successful. What do the results suggest about the ability of players to see calls better than referees?

Type I and Type II Errors. In Exercises 29鈥32, provide statements that identify the type I error and the type II error that correspond to the given claim. (Although conclusions are usually expressed in verbal form, the answers here can be expressed with statements that include symbolic expressions such as p = 0.1.).

The proportion of adults who use the internet is greater than 0.87.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Garlic for Reducing Cholesterol In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg>dL) have a mean of 0.4 and a standard deviation of 21.0 (based on data from 鈥淓ffect of Raw Garlic vs Commercial Garlic Supplements on Plasma Lipid Concentrations in Adults with Moderate Hypercholesterolemia,鈥 by Gardner et al., Archives of Internal Medicine, Vol. 167, No. 4). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment?

Critical Values. In Exercises 21鈥24, refer to the information in the given exercise and do the following.

a. Find the critical value(s).

b. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject H0or should we fail to reject H0?
