Explain how the P -value is obtained for a mean z-test in case of hypothesis test is

(a) left-tailed (b) right- tailed (c) two tailed

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)Area under standard normal curve that lies to the left of z0.

(b)Area under standard normal curve that lies to the right of z0

(c)Area under standard normal curve that lies outside the interval

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given

Z-case hypothesis test

02

Step 2.  The test statistics for a mean test.

The test statistic for a one-mean z-test with null hypothesis given by H0:渭 = 渭0 is

z=x-0-n

If the null hypothesis is true the test statistic has the standard normal distribution i.e.

=zN(0,1).

03

Part (a) Left-tailed test

P-value=P(zz0),wherez~N(0,1)

The P-value of a left-tailed test is the chance of seeing a value of the test statistic z that is equal to or less than the value actually seen.

To the left of z0, the area under the standard normal curve.

04

Part( c) Right tailed test

The P-value of a right-tailed test is the chance of seeing a value of the test statistic z that is equal to or greater than the value actually seen.

P-value=P(zz0),wherez~N(0,1)

Area under standard normal curve that lies to the right of z0

05

Part( c) Two -tailed test

Two-tailed test: The P-value is the likelihood of seeing a value of the test statistic z that is at least twice as large as the actual value.

i.e.P-value=P(z-zo)+P(zz0),wherez~N(0,1).......(*)

Area under standard normal curve that lies outside the interval from -z0toz0

Because the normal curve is symmetric about 0,

The P-value of a two-tailed one mean z test can be stated as follows using the relation () in equation ():

P-value=2P(zz0)2P(zz0)

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?

Biometric Security In a USA Today survey of 510 people, 53% said that we should replace passwords with biometric security, such as fingerprints. The accompanying Statdisk display results from a test of the claim that half of us say that we should replace passwords with biometric security.

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?

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.

Earthquake Depths Data Set 21 鈥淓arthquakes鈥 in Appendix B lists earthquake depths, and the summary statistics are n = 600, x = 5.82 km, s = 4.93 km. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of a seismologist that these earthquakes are from a population with a mean equal to 5.00 km.

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.

OxyContin The drug OxyContin (oxycodone) is used to treat pain, but it is dangerous because it is addictive and can be lethal. In clinical trials, 227 subjects were treated with OxyContin and 52 of them developed nausea (based on data from Purdue Pharma L.P.). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than 20% of OxyContin users develop nausea. Does the rate of nausea appear to be too high?

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥24, assume that a simple random sample has been 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.

Course Evaluations Data Set 17 鈥淐ourse Evaluations鈥 in Appendix B includes data from student evaluations of courses. The summary statistics are n = 93, x = 3.91, s = 0.53. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the population of student course evaluations has a mean equal to 4.00.
