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.

Airport Data Speeds: The claim that for Verizon data speeds at airports, the mean\({\bf{\mu = 14}}{\bf{.00}}\;{\bf{mbps}}\). The sample size is \({\bf{n = 13}}\) and the test statistic is

t =-1.625 .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The p-value lies between 0.10 and 0.20.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The claim states that the mean of data speeds is\(\mu = 14.00\;{\rm{mbps}}\).

The sample size is\(n = 13\) with the test statistic \(t = - 1.625\).

02

State the hypotheses

As per the claim, the hypotheses are stated as follows.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:\mu = 14\;({\rm{null}}\;{\rm{hypothesis}})\\{H_1}:\mu \ne 14\;({\rm{alternative}}\;{\rm{hypothesis}}\;{\rm{and}}\;{\rm{original}}\;{\rm{claim}})\end{array}\)

Hence,it is a two-tailed test.

03

Compute the degrees of freedom 

The degrees of freedom for the given set of data are as follows.

\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 13 - 1\\ = 12\end{array}\)

04

Computing p-value using Table A-3

The test is a two-tailed with 12 degrees of freedom and test statistic value of

-1.625.

In Table A-3, check for the value 1.625 in the row with 12 degrees of freedom to see test statistic. The value 1.625 lies between 1.356 and 1.782.

The corresponding two-tailed area indicates the P-value between 0.10 and 0.20.

Hence, this can be written as\(0.10 < \;P - value < \;0.20\)

Thus, the range of p-value is 0.10 and 0.20.

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.

Mendelian Genetics When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas. Use a 0.01 significance level to test Mendel鈥檚 claim that under the same circumstances, 25% of offspring peas will be yellow. What can we conclude about Mendel鈥檚 claim?

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.

Is the Diet Practical? When 40 people used the Weight Watchers diet for one year, their mean weight loss was 3.0 lb and the standard deviation was 4.9 lb (based on data from 鈥淐omparison of the Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, and Zone Diets for Weight Loss and Heart Disease Reduction,鈥 by Dansinger et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 293, No. 1). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight loss is greater than 0. Based on these results, does the diet appear to have statistical significance? Does the diet appear to have practical significance?

Technology. In Exercises 9鈥12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. 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.

Airport Data Speeds Data Set 32 鈥淎irport Data Speeds鈥 in Appendix B includes Sprint data speeds (mbps). The accompanying TI-83/84 Plus display results from using those data to test the claim that they are from a population having a mean less than 4.00 Mbps. Conduct the hypothesis test using these results.

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.

Touch Therapy When she was 9 years of age, Emily Rosa did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily鈥檚 hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 280 trials, the touch therapists were correct 123 times (based on data in 鈥淎 Close Look at Therapeutic Touch,鈥 Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 279, No. 13). Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that touch therapists use a method equivalent to random guesses. Do the results suggest that touch therapists are effective?

Technology. In Exercises 9鈥12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. 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.

Tornadoes Data Set 22 鈥淭ornadoes鈥 in Appendix B includes data from 500 random tornadoes. The accompanying StatCrunch display results from using the tornado lengths (miles) to test the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.5 miles.
