Chapter 8: Q. 9.5 (page 357)

Suppose that you are considering a hypothesis test for a population mean, u. In each part, express the alternative hypothesis symbolically and identify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.

a. You want to decide whether the population mean is different from a specified value 渭0.

b. You want to decide whether the population mean is less than a specified value 渭0.

c. You want to decide whether the population mean is greater than a specified value to 渭0.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a). This hypothesis is a two-tailed test.

Part (b) This hypothesis is a left-tailed test.

Part (c) This hypothesis is a right-tailed test.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information. 

Considering a hypothesis test for a population mean, 渭.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Alternative hypothesis

The alternative hypothesis can be symbolized as follows:

Ha:渭鈮�渭0

This hypothesis is a two-tailed test.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Alternative hypothesis 

Symbolically, the alternative hypothesis is:

Ha:渭<渭0

This hypothesis is a left-tailed test.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Alternative hypothesis 

The Alternative hypothesis can be expressed symbolically,

Ha:渭>渭0

This hypothesis is a right-tailed test.

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 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.

Eliquis The drug Eliquis (apixaban) is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 5924 patients treated with Eliquis, 153 developed the adverse reaction of nausea (based on data from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 3% of Eliquis users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction?

Interpreting Power For the sample data in Example 1 鈥淎dult Sleep鈥� from this section, Minitab and StatCrunch show that the hypothesis test has power of 0.4943 of supporting the claim that 渭<7 hours of sleep when the actual population mean is 6.0 hours of sleep. Interpret this value of the power, then identify the value of 尾and interpret that value. (For the t test in this section, a 鈥渘oncentrality parameter鈥� makes calculations of power much more complicated than the process described in Section 8-1, so software is recommended for power calculations.)

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 伪 = 0.05, should we reject H0or should we fail to reject H0?

The test statistic of z = -2.50 is obtained when testing the claim that p<0.75

In Exercises 9鈥�12, refer to the exercise identified. Make subjective estimates to decide whether results are significantly low or significantly high, then state a conclusion about the original claim. For example, if the claim is that a coin favours heads and sample results consist of 11 heads in 20 flips, conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the coin favours heads (because it is easy to get 11 heads in 20 flips by chance with a fair coin).
