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: The mean pulse rate (in beats per minute) of adult males is 72 bpm. The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.0095.

Short Answer

Expert verified

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

b.There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean pulse rate of adult males is equal to 72 bpm.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A claim is tested that the mean pulse rate of adult males is 72 beats per minute (bpm).

The p-value for this test is equal to 0.0095

02

Hypotheses

Let\[\mu \]be the population mean pulse rate of adult males.

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

Null Hypothesis \[\left( {{H_0}} \right):\mu = 72\]

Alternative Hypothesis \[\left( {{H_1}} \right):\mu \ne 72\]

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 0.0095.

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

04

Conclusion

b.

There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean pulse rate of adult males is not equal to 72 bpm.

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.

Cans of Coke Data Set 26 鈥淐ola Weights and Volumes鈥 in Appendix B includes volumes (ounces) of a sample of cans of regular Coke. The summary statistics are n = 36, x = 12.19 oz, s = 0.11 oz. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that cans of Coke have a mean volume of 12.00 ounces. Does it appear that consumers are being cheated?

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?

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.

Drug Screening The company Drug Test Success provides a 鈥1-Panel-THC鈥 test for marijuana usage. Among 300 tested subjects, results from 27 subjects were wrong (either a false positive or a false negative). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that less than 10% of the test results are wrong. Does the test appear to be good for most purposes?

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.

Eliquis The drug Eliquis (apixaban) is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 5924 patients treated with Eliquis, 153 developed the adverse reaction of nausea (based on data from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 3% of Eliquis users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction?

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.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.
