Vitamin C and Aspirin A bottle contains a label stating that it contains Spring Valley pills with 500 mg of vitamin C, and another bottle contains a label stating that it contains Bayer pills with 325 mg of aspirin. When testing claims about the mean contents of the pills, which would have more serious implications: rejection of the Spring Valley vitamin C claim or rejection of the Bayer aspirin claim? Is it wise to use the same significance level for hypothesis tests about the mean amount of vitamin C and the mean amount of aspirin?
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.
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.
Is Nessie Real? This question was posted on the America Online website: Do you believe the Loch Ness monster exists? Among 21,346 responses, 64% were 鈥測es.鈥� Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most people believe that the Loch Ness monster exists. How is the conclusion affected by the fact that Internet users who saw the question could decide whether to respond?
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.
