Body Temperature. Refer to Exercise 9.21. Explain what each of the following would mean.

a. Type I error

b. Type II error

c. Correct decision

Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean body temperature of all healthy humans

d. is 98.6掳F.

e. is not 98.6掳F.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Rejecting a Null Hypothesis, when it is true.

(b) Rejecting a Null Hypothesis, when H0is false.

(c) If the true null hypothesis is not rejected or a false null hypothesis is rejected.

(d) Type I error.

(e) Correct Decision.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given

H.: The mean body temperature of a healthy human is 98.6掳F

H0:=98.6F

H: The mean body temperature of a healthy human differs from 98.6掳F .

Ha:#98.6F

02

Part( a)  Type one error

According to the definition of the type I error; rejecting a null hypothesis, when it is true. A type one error would occur in fact =98.6Fis true, that is The mean body temperature of a healthy human is 98.6掳F, but the results of the sampling lead to conclude that The mean body temperature of a healthy human is 98.6掳F ,hence the rejection of true null hypothesis.

03

Part (b) Type 2 error

When a null hypothesis (H) is false, according to the definition of the type II error, is not rejecting it. If 98.6掳 F is not rejected, but the sampling results fail to conclude that the mean body temperature of a healthy human is 98.6掳 F, a type II error occurs.

04

Part (c) Correct decision

If neither the true null hypothesis nor the false null hypothesis is rejected, the decision is correct. In this case, the mean body temperature of a healthy human is 98.6掳 F., and the sampling results do not lead to rejection, so which is the correct decision; or the mean body temperature of a healthy human is different from 98.6掳 F, and the sampling results lead to rejection of the null hypothesis of 98.6掳 F.

05

Part (d) Classifying the error

The typical body temperature of a healthy human is 98.6掳 F, and the null hypothesis is rejected by the findings of a hypothesis test. We must classify the judgement as either an error or a correct one.

The average body temperature of a healthy human is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the sampling results. We are rejecting the null hypothesis that a healthy human's average body temperature is 98.6掳 F. We've rejected the true null hypothesis, hence we've made a type I error.

06

Part( e) Classifying the error

The null hypothesis is rejected since the mean body temperature of a healthy human is not 98.6掳 F, as determined by the results of a hypothesis test. We must classify the judgement as either an error or a correct one.

We reject the null hypothesis of 98.6掳 F by finding that the mean body temperature of a healthy human is not 98.6掳 F as a sampling result. As a result, our decision is correct since we reject the false H.

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.

Body Temperatures Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥 in Appendix B includes 93 body temperatures measured at 12 虏鲁 on day 1 of a study, and the accompanying XLSTAT display results from using those data to test the claim that the mean body temperature is equal to 98.6掳F. Conduct the hypothesis test using these results.

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.

Got a Minute? Students of the author estimated the length of one minute without reference to a watch or clock, and the times (seconds) are listed below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that these times are from a population with a mean equal to 60 seconds. Does it appear that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute?

Using Technology. In Exercises 5鈥8, identify the indicated values or interpret the given display. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section. Use = 0.05 significance level and answer the following:

a. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed?

b. What is the test statistic?

c. What is the P-value?

d. What is the null hypothesis, and what do you conclude about it?

e. What is the final conclusion?

Self-Driving Vehicles In a TE Connectivity survey of 1000 adults, 29% said that they would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle. The accompanying StatCrunch display results from testing the claim that more than 1/4 of adults feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

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.

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.)

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

The test statistic of z = 2.01 is obtained when testing the claim that p0.345.
