Chapter 8: Q26 (page 372)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The null hypothesis is rejected at a 0.05 level of significance.

b. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of adults who have cell phones is less than 90%.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A claim is tested that less than 90% of adults have cell phones.

The p-value for this test is equal to 0.0003.

02

Hypotheses

Let p be the population proportion of adults who have cell phones.

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

Null HypothesisH0:p=0.90

Alternative Hypothesis H1:p<0.90

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 0.0003.

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

04

Conclusion of the test

b.

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the percentage of adults who have cell phones is less than 90%.

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 18

Vitamin C and Aspirin A bottle contains a label stating that it contains Spring Valley pills with 500 mg of vitamin C, and another bottle contains a label stating that it contains Bayer pills with 325 mg of aspirin. When testing claims about the mean contents of the pills, which would have more serious implications: rejection of the Spring Valley vitamin C claim or rejection of the Bayer aspirin claim? Is it wise to use the same significance level for hypothesis tests about the mean amount of vitamin C and the mean amount of aspirin?

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥�24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. 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.

Insomnia Treatment A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the drug zopiclone for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment with zopiclone, 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 102.8 min. After treatment with zopiclone, the 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 98.9 min and a standard deviation of 42.3 min (based on data from 鈥淐ognitive Behavioral Therapy vs Zopiclone for Treatment of Chronic Primary Insomnia in Older Adults,鈥� by Sivertsenet al.,Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 295, No. 24). Assume that the 16 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population, and test the claim that after treatment with zopiclone, subjects have a mean wake time of less than 102.8 min. Does zopiclone appear to be effective?

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.

Stem Cell Survey Adults were randomly selected for a Newsweek poll. They were asked if they 鈥渇avor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos.鈥� Of those polled, 481 were in favor, 401 were opposed, and 120 were unsure. A politician claims that people don鈥檛 really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 120 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician鈥檚 claim?

Finding P-values. In Exercises 5鈥�8, either use technology to find the P-value or use Table A-3 to find a range of values for the P-value Body Temperatures The claim is that for 12 am body temperatures, the mean is 渭<98.6掳F.The sample size is n = 4 and the test statistic is t = -2.503.
