Chapter 8: Q25BSC (page 356)

Final Conclusions. In Exercises 25鈥�28, use a significance level of \(\alpha \) = 0.05 and use the given information for the following:

a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject \({H_0}\) or fail to reject \({H_0}\).)

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

Original claim: More than 58% of adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.3257.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.The null hypothesis fails to reject at a 0.05 level of significance.

b.There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of adults who would erase all of their personal information online if they could is more than 58%.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A claim is tested that more than 58% of adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. The p-value for this test is equal to 0.3257.

The significance level is 0.05.

02

Identify the hypotheses

Let p be the population proportion of adults whowould erase all of their personal information online if they could.

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

Null Hypothesis \[\left( {{H_0}} \right)\]: p = 0.58

Alternative Hypothesis\[\left( {{H_1}} \right)\]: \[p > 0.58\]

03

Decision about the test

a.

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 0.3257.

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

04

Conclusion

b.

There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that more than 58% of adults who would erase all of their personal information online if they could.

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 伪= 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?

Adverse Reactions to Drug The drug Lipitor (atorvastatin) is used to treat high cholesterol. In a clinical trial of Lipitor, 47 of 863 treated subjects experienced headaches (based on data from Pfizer). The accompanying TI@83/84 Plus calculator display shows results from a test of the claim that fewer than 10% of treated subjects experience headaches.

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?

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 6 鈥淐ell Phone鈥�

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?

Interpreting Power For the sample data in Example 1 鈥淎dult Sleep鈥� from this section, Minitab and StatCrunch show that the hypothesis test has power of 0.4943 of supporting the claim that 渭<7 hours of sleep when the actual population mean is 6.0 hours of sleep. Interpret this value of the power, then identify the value of 尾and interpret that value. (For the t test in this section, a 鈥渘oncentrality parameter鈥� makes calculations of power much more complicated than the process described in Section 8-1, so software is recommended for power calculations.)
