Technology. In Exercises 9鈥12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. 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.

Body Temperatures Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥 in Appendix B includes 93 body temperatures measured at 12 虏鲁 on day 1 of a study, and the accompanying XLSTAT display results from using those data to test the claim that the mean body temperature is equal to 98.6掳F. Conduct the hypothesis test using these results.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The hypotheses are as follows.

H0:=98.6FH1:98.6F

The test statistic is -7.102.

The p-value is <0.0001.

The null hypothesis is rejected, and it is concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the population mean of the body temperatures is equal to .

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A sample is taken from body temperatures with a sample size of 93 with the claim that the population mean of the body temperature is equal to .

02

State the hypotheses

The null hypothesis H0represents the mean body temperature equal to 98.6 degree. Also, the alternate hypothesis H1represents the mean body temperature, which is not equal to 98.6 degree .

Let be the population mean of the body temperatures.

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H0:=98.6FH1:98.6F

03

State the test statistic and the p-value from the summary given 

State the test statistic and the p-value obtained from the second row and the fourth row of the given output, respectively. The critical value can also be observed from the third row.

tobserved-7.102p - valueTwo-Tailed<0.0001tcritical1.986

04

State the decision

Reject the null hypothesis when the absolute value of the observed test statistics is greater than the critical value. Otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis.

In this case,

-7.102=7.102>1.986tobserved>tcritical.

The absolute value of the observed test statistic is significantly larger than the critical value. This implies that the null hypothesis is rejected.

05

Conclusion

As the null hypothesis is rejected, it can be concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the population mean of the body temperature is equal to 98.6 degree.

Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that address the original claim. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population.

Pulse Rates of Men: A simple random sample of 153 men results in a standard deviation of 11.3 beats per minute (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B). The normal range of pulse rates of adults is typically given as 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the range rule of thumb is applied to that normal range, the result is a standard deviation of 10 beats per minute. Use the sample results with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute; see the accompanying StatCrunch display for this test. What do the results indicate about the effectiveness of using the range rule of thumb with the 鈥渘ormal range鈥 from 60 to 100 beats per minute for estimating s in this case?

True/False Characterize each of the following statements as being true or false.

a. In a hypothesis test, a very high P-value indicates strong support of the alternative hypothesis.

b. The Student t distribution can be used to test a claim about a population mean whenever the sample data are randomly selected from a normally distributed population.

c. When using a x2 distribution to test a claim about a population standard deviation, there is a very loose requirement that the sample data are from a population having a normal distribution.

d. When conducting a hypothesis test about the claimed proportion of adults who have current passports, the problems with a convenience sample can be overcome by using a larger sample size.

e. When repeating the same hypothesis test with different random samples of the same size, the conclusions will all be the same.

Critical Values. In Exercises 21鈥24, refer to the information in the given exercise and do the following.

a. Find the critical value(s).

b. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject H0or should we fail to reject H0?

Exercise 18

Testing Claims About Variation. In Exercises 5鈥16, 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. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population.

Mint Specs Listed below are weights (grams) from a simple random sample of 鈥渨heat鈥 pennies (from Data Set 29 鈥淐oin Weights鈥 in Appendix B). U.S. Mint specifications now require a standard deviation of 0.0230 g for weights of pennies. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that wheat pennies are manufactured so that their weights have a standard deviation equal to 0.0230 g. Does the Mint specification appear to be met?

Critical Values. In Exercises 21鈥24, refer to the information in the given exercise and do the following.

a. Find the critical value(s).

b. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject H0or should we fail to reject H0?
