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.

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 mean pulse rate (in beats per minute, or bpm) of adult males is equal to 69 bpm. For the random sample of 153 adult males in Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B, the mean pulse rate is 69.6 bpm and the standard deviation is 11.3 bpm.

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.

Bias in Jury SelectionIn the case of Casteneda v. Partida,it was found that during a period of 11 years in Hidalgo County, Texas, 870 people were selected for grand jury duty and 39% of them were Americans of Mexican ancestry. Among the people eligible for grand jury duty, 79.1% were Americans of Mexican ancestry. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the selection process is biased against Americans of Mexican ancestry. Does the jury selection system appear to be biased?

df If we are using the sample data from Exercise 1 for a t-test of the claim that the population mean is greater than 90sec, What does df denote, and what is its value?

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.

Postponing Death An interesting and popular hypothesis is that individuals can temporarily postpone death to survive a major holiday or important event such as a birthday. In a study, it was found that there were 6062 deaths in the week before Thanksgiving, and 5938 deaths the week after Thanksgiving (based on data from 鈥淗olidays, Birthdays, and Postponement of Cancer Death,鈥 by Young and Hade, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 292, No. 24). If people can postpone death until after Thanksgiving, then the proportion of deaths in the week before should be less than 0.5. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of deaths in the week before Thanksgiving is less than 0.5. Based on the result, does there appear to be any indication that people can temporarily postpone death to survive the Thanksgiving holiday?

In Exercises 13鈥16, refer to the exercise identified and find the value of the test statistic. (Refer to Table 8-2 on page 362 to select the correct expression for evaluating the test statistic.)
