Chapter 8: Q11 (page 371)

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).

Exercise 7 鈥淧ulse Rates鈥�

Short Answer

Expert verified

The result of 69.6 bpm isneither significantly low nor significantly high.

There is insufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean pulse rate of adult males is equal to 69 bpm.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Refer to Exercise 7 BSC; for a sample of 153 adult males, the mean pulse rate is equal to 69.6 bpm, and the standard deviation is equal to 11.3 bpm.

02

Conclusion

It is claimed that the mean pulse rate of adult males is equal to 69 bpm.

That is,渭=69

Since the value of 69.6 bpm is approximately equal to the claimed value of 69 bpm, it appears to be likely to obtain a mean value of 69.6 bpm in a sample when the true mean pulse rate is 69 bpm.

Therefore, the result of 69.6 bpm is neither significantly low nor significantly high.

Thus, this suggests that there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the mean pulse rate of adult males is equal to 69 bpm.

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 20

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?

Biometric Security In a USA Today survey of 510 people, 53% said that we should replace passwords with biometric security, such as fingerprints. The accompanying Statdisk display results from a test of the claim that half of us say that we should replace passwords with biometric security.

Identifying H0and H1. In Exercises 5鈥�8, do the following:

a. Express the original claim in symbolic form.

b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Pulse Rates Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm. For the random sample of 153 adult males in Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 11.3 bpm.

Confidence interval Assume that we will use the sample data from Exercise 1 鈥淰ideo Games鈥� with a 0.05 significance level in a test of the claim that the population mean is greater than 90 sec. If we want to construct a confidence interval to be used for testing the claim, what confidence level should be used for the confidence interval? If the confidence interval is found to be 21.1 sec < 渭< 191.4 sec, what should we conclude about the claim?

Identifying H0and H1. In Exercises 5鈥�8, do the following:

a. Express the original claim in symbolic form.

b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Cell Phone Claim: Fewer than 95% of adults have a cell phone. In a Marist poll of 1128 adults, 87% said that they have a cell phone.
