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.
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 or fail to reject .)
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.
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 7 鈥淧ulse Rates鈥�
Lead in Medicine Listed below are the lead concentrations (in ) measured in different Ayurveda medicines. Ayurveda is a traditional medical system commonly used in India. The lead concentrations listed here are from medicines manufactured in the United States (based on data from 鈥淟ead, Mercury, and Arsenic in US and Indian Manufactured Ayurvedic Medicines Sold via the Internet,鈥� by Saper et al., Journal of the American Medical Association,Vol. 300, No. 8). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 14 .

Type I and Type II Errors. In Exercises 29鈥�32, provide statements that identify the type I error and the type II error that correspond to the given claim. (Although conclusions are usually expressed in verbal form, the answers here can be expressed with statements that include symbolic expressions such as p = 0.1.).
The proportion of adults who use the internet is greater than 0.87.
