Equivalent MethodsWhich of the following statements are true?

a.When testing a claim about a population mean渭, theP-value method, critical value method, and confidence interval method are all equivalent in the sense that they always yield the same conclusions.

b.When testing a claim about a population proportionp, theP-value method, critical value method, and confidence interval method are all equivalent in the sense that they always yield the same conclusions.

c.When testing a claim about any population parameter, theP-value method, critical value method, and confidence interval method are all equivalent in the sense that they always yield the same conclusions.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Only option a. is true.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Three statements about the conclusion of the claim obtained using the 3 different methods are provided.

02

Identifying the true statement

It is known that while testing a claim about the population proportion, the result obtained from the p-value and the critical method is not always the same as obtained from the confidence interval method.

While for testing a claim about the population mean, the result obtained from the p-value and the critical method is always the same as obtained from the confidence interval method.

On the basis of this knowledge, the following three statements are analysed:

  • It is given thatwhen testing a claim about a population mean, theP-value method, critical value method, and confidence interval method are all equivalent in the sense that they always yield the same conclusions.

As mentioned above, the given statement is true.

Thus, part a. is true.

  • It is given thatwhen testing a claim about a population proportion, theP-value method, critical value method, and confidence interval method are all equivalent in the sense that they always yield the same conclusions.

As mentioned above, the given statement is false.

Thus, part b. is false.

  • It is given thatwhen testing a claim about any population parameter, theP-value method, critical value method, and confidence interval method are all equivalent in the sense that they always yield the same conclusions.

Since the above statement is not rye for the population proportion, the given statement is false.

Thus, part c. is false.

Therefore, only part a. is true.

t Test Exercise 2 refers to a t test. What is the t test? Why is the letter t used? What is unrealistic about the z test methods in Part 2 of this section?

Final Conclusions. In Exercises 25鈥�28, use a significance level of = 0.05 and use the given information for the following:

a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H0or fail to reject H0.)

b. Without using technical terms or symbols, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Original claim: More than 58% of adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.3257.

Interpreting Power Chantix (varenicline) tablets are used as an aid to help people stop smoking. In a clinical trial, 129 subjects were treated with Chantix twice a day for 12 weeks, and 16 subjects experienced abdominal pain (based on data from Pfizer, Inc.). If someone claims that more than 8% of Chantix users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.96. Interpret this value of the power of the test.

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.

Mickey D鈥檚 In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, McDonald鈥檚 had 33 orders that were not accurate among 362 orders observed (based on data from QSR magazine). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to 10%. Does the accuracy rate appear to be acceptable?

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.

Heights of Supermodels Listed below are the heights (cm) for the simple random sample of female supermodels Lima, Bundchen, Ambrosio, Ebanks, Iman, Rubik, Kurkova, Kerr,Kroes, Swanepoel, Prinsloo, Hosk, Kloss, Robinson, Heatherton, and Refaeli. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that supermodels have heights with a mean that is greater than the mean height of 162 cm for women in the general population. Given that there are only 16 heights represented, can we really conclude that supermodels are taller than the typical woman?
