P-Values. In Exercises 17鈥20, do the following:

a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed.

b. Find the P-value. (See Figure 8-3 on page 364.)

c. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject or should we fail to reject ?

The test statistic of z = 1.00 is obtained when testing the claim that p>0.3.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The test is right-tailed.

b. The p-value is equal to 0.1587.

c. The decision of the statistical test is to fail to rejectH0

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

A test statistic value of z=1.00 is obtained, and the claim to be tested is p>0.3.

02

Identify the hypotheses and tail of the test

a.

In correspondence with the given claim, the following hypotheses are set up:

Null Hypothesis: p=0.3

Alternative Hypothesis: p>0.3

Where p is the population proportion.

Since there is greater than sign in the alternative hypothesis, the test is right-tailed.

03

P-value

b.

The test statistic to test the given claim is the z-value.

The z-value is equal to 1.00.

Using the standard normal table, the corresponding right-tailed p-value for z-score equal to 1.00 is equal to:

Pz>1.00=1-Pz<1.00=1-0.8413=0.1587

Thus, the p-value is equal to 0.1587.

To depict the p-value on the normal probability graph, follow the given steps:

  • Plot a horizontal axis representing the z-score. Also label it as 鈥渮-score鈥.
  • Sketch a bell-shaped curve and draw a vertical dotted line corresponding to the value 鈥0鈥 on the horizontal axis
  • Mark the point 鈥1鈥 on the horizontal axis and then shade the area to the right of the value 鈥1鈥 with blue as shown in the figure.
  • Label the shaded region as 鈥減-value = 0.1587鈥.

The following plot shows the probability value (p-value) as the shaded area under the normal probability graph:

Decision about the test

c.

If the p-value is less than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected; otherwise, not.

Here, the level of significance is equal to 0.05, and the p-value is equal to 0.1587.

Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, so the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Car Booster Seats The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted crash tests of child booster seats for cars. Listed below are results from those tests, with the measurements given in hic (standard head injury condition units). The safety requirement is that the hic measurement should be less than 1000 hic. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 1000 hic. Do the results suggest that all of the child booster seats meet the specified requirement?

In Exercises 1鈥4, use these results from a USA Today survey in which 510 people chose to respond to this question that was posted on the USA Today website: 鈥淪hould Americans replace passwords with biometric security (fingerprints, etc)?鈥 Among the respondents, 53% said 鈥測es.鈥 We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.

Number and Proportion

a. Identify the actual number of respondents who answered 鈥測es.鈥

b. Identify the sample proportion and the symbol used to represent it.

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.
