Chapter 8: Q. 9.52 (page 370)

The P-value for a hypothesis test is 0.083. For each of the following significance levels, decide whether the null hypothesis should be rejected.

(a) 伪=0.05

(b) 伪=0.10

(c)伪=0.06

Short Answer

Expert verified

For the given value of P=0.083, null hypothesis is as follows :-

(a) 伪=0.05:- Not rejected

(b) 伪=0.10:- Rejected

(c)伪=0.06:- Not rejected

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

Value of伪=0.05

02

Part (a) Step 2. Explanation

Here null hypothesis should not be rejected becauseP=0.083>伪=0.05

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

Value of伪=0.10

04

Part (b) Step 2. Explanation

Here null hypothesis should be rejected becauseP=0.083<伪=0.10

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information

Value of伪=0.06

06

Part (c) Step 2. Explanation

Here null hypothesis should not be rejected becauseP=0.083>伪=0.06

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.

Bias in Jury SelectionIn the case of Casteneda v. Partida,it was found that during a period of 11 years in Hidalgo County, Texas, 870 people were selected for grand jury duty and 39% of them were Americans of Mexican ancestry. Among the people eligible for grand jury duty, 79.1% were Americans of Mexican ancestry. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the selection process is biased against Americans of Mexican ancestry. Does the jury selection system appear to be biased?

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.

Medical Malpractice In a study of 1228 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 856 of them were dropped or dismissed (based on data from the Physicians Insurers Association of America). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed. Should this be comforting to physicians?

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 .

Using Confidence Intervals to Test Hypotheseswhen analyzing the last digits of telephone numbers in Port Jefferson, it is found that among 1000 randomly selected digits, 119 are zeros. If the digits are randomly selected, the proportion of zeros should be 0.1.

a.Use the critical value method with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of zeros equals 0.1.

b.Use the P-value method with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of zeros equals 0.1.

c.Use the sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of zeros. What does the confidence interval suggest about the claim that the proportion of zeros equals 0.1?

d.Compare the results from the critical value method, the P-value method, and the confidence interval method. Do they all lead to the same conclusion?

Cans of coke use the data and the claim given in exercise 1 to identify the null and alternative hypothesis and the test statistic. What is the sampling distribution of the test statistic?
