Chapter 8: Q. 9.21 (page 358)

9.21 Body Temperature. A study by researchers at the University of Maryland addressed the question of whether the mean body temperature of humans is 98.6掳F. The results of the study by P. Mack owiak et al. appeared in the article "A Critical Appraisal of 98.6掳F .

cies of Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich" (Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 268, pp. 1578-1580). Among other data. the researchers obtained the body temperatures of 93 healthy humans. Suppose that you want to use those data to decide whether the mean body temperature of healthy humans differs from 98.60F.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Because the alternative hypothesis test is to determine whether the mean body temperature of 93 healthy persons is different from 98.6掳F(or not equal (#) sign occurs in the alternative hypothesis), this hypothesis test is a two-failed test.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.  

Among other things the temperatures of 93 healthy people were gathered by the researchers.

02

Part (a) Step 2.  Explanation

The null hypothesis states that the average body temperature of 93 healthy people is the same as.98.6掳F

i.e.,H0:渭=98.6掳F.

03

Step 3. Alternative hypothesis

The alternative theory is that the average body temperature of 93 healthy persons differs from the average body temperature of 93 healthy humans by98.6掳F

i.e.,H0:渭98.6掳F.

04

Step 4. Two-tailed test

Because another hypothesis test determines whether the body temperature of 93 healthy people differs from 98.6 掳 F (or an unequal sign (#) occurs in another theory), this hypothesis test is a double failure test.

Identifying H0and H1. In Exercises 5鈥�8, do the following:

a. Express the original claim in symbolic form.

b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Cell Phone Claim: Fewer than 95% of adults have a cell phone. In a Marist poll of 1128 adults, 87% said that they have a cell phone.

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.

Touch Therapy Repeat the preceding exercise using a 0.01 significance level. Does the conclusion change?

Test Statistics. In Exercises 13鈥�16, refer to the exercise identified and find the value of the test statistic. (Refer to Table 8-2 on page 362 to select the correct expression for evaluating the test statistic.)

P-Values. In Exercises 17鈥�20, do the following:

a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed.

b. Find the P-value. (See Figure 8-3 on page 364.)
