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 \(\alpha \) = 0.05, should we reject \({H_0}\)or should we fail to reject \({H_0}\)?

The test statistic of z = -2.50 is obtained when testing the claim that \(p < 0.75\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The test is left-tailed.

b. The p-value is equal to 0.0062.

c. The null hypothesis is rejected.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

A test statistic value of \(z = - 2.50\) is obtained, and the claim to be tested is \(p < 0.75\).

02

Identify the hypotheses and tail of the test

a.

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

Null Hypothesis: \(p = 0.75\)

Alternative Hypothesis: \(p < 0.75\)

Since there is a lesser than sign in the alternative hypothesis, the test is left-tailed.

03

P-value

b.

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

The z-value is equal to -2.50.

Using the standard normal table, the corresponding left-tailed p-value for z-score equal to -2.50 is equal to:

\(P\left( {z < - 2.50} \right) = 0.0062\)

Thus, the p-value is equal to 0.0062.

To depict the p-value on the standard 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-2.5鈥 on the horizontal axis and then shade the area to the left of the value 鈥-2.5鈥 with blue as shown in the figure.
  • Label the shaded region as 鈥減-value = 0.0062鈥.

The plot below shows the p-value as the shaded area under the standard 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 0.0062.

Since the p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected.

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.

M&Ms Data Set 27 鈥淢&M Weights鈥 in Appendix B lists data from 100 M&Ms, and 27% of them are blue. The Mars candy company claims that the percentage of blue M&Ms is equal to 24%. Use a 0.05 significance level to test that claim. Should the Mars company take corrective action?

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 H0 or fail to reject H0.)

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

Original claim: Fewer than 90% of adults have a cell phone. The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.0003.

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?

Cell Phone Ownership A Pew Research Center poll of 2076 randomly selected adults showed that 91% of them own cell phones. The following Minitab display results from a test of the claim that 92% of adults own cell phones.

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.
