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?

Self-Driving Vehicles In a TE Connectivity survey of 1000 adults, 29% said that they would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle. The accompanying StatCrunch display results from testing the claim that more than 1/4 of adults feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The test is right-tailed.

b. The value of the test statistic (z-score) is equal to 2.9212.

c. The p-value is equal to 0.0017.

d. The null hypothesis is that the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is equal to 25% or 0.25.The null hypothesis is rejected.

e. There is enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is greater than 0.25.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that out of 1000 adults, 29% of them would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

02

Tail of the test

a.

According to the given claim, the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is more than 14 or 0.25.

The null hypothesis is represented as follows:

H0:p=0.25

The alternative hypothesis is represented as follows:

H1:p>0.25

Since there is a greater than sign in the given claim, the test is right-tailed

03

Test statistic

b.

The test statistic to test the given claim is the z-score.

Here, the value of the test statistic (z-score) is equal to 2.9212.

04

P-Value

c.

The p-value corresponding to the z-score of 2.9212 is given to be equal to 0.0017.

05

Null hypothesis and its conclusion

d.

The null hypothesis for this test is as follows:

Null hypothesis: The proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is equal to 25%.

Symbolically, H0:p=0.25where

p is the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

Here, the p-value equal to 0.0017 is less than the significance level of 0.05. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected.

06

Conclusion of the test

e.

There is enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is more than 25%.

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.

Lie Detectors Trials in an experiment with a polygraph yield 98 results that include 24 cases of wrong results and 74 cases of correct results (based on data from experiments conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts of Boise State University and Gordon H. Barland of the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that such polygraph results are correct less than 80% of the time. Based on the results, should polygraph test results be prohibited as evidence in trials?

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.

Births A random sample of 860 births in New York State included 426 boys. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 51.2% of newborn babies are boys. Do the results support the belief that 51.2% of newborn babies are boys?

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.

Old Faithful Data Set 23 鈥淥ld Faithful鈥� in Appendix B includes data from 250 random eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser. The National Park Service makes predictions of times to the next eruption, and the data set includes the errors (minutes) in those predictions. The accompanying Statdisk display results from using the prediction errors (minutes) to test the claim that the mean prediction error is equal to zero. Comment on the accuracy of the predictions.

Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that address the original claim. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population.

Pulse Rates of Women Repeat the preceding exercise using the pulse rates of women listed in Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B. For the sample of pulse rates of women, n= 147 and s= 12.5. See the accompanying JMP display that results from using the original list of pulse rates instead of the summary statistics. (Hint:The bottom three rows of the display provide P-values for a two-tailed test, a left-tailed test, and a right-tailed test, respectively.) What do the results indicate about the effectiveness of using the range rule of thumb with the 鈥渘ormal range鈥� from 60 to 100 beats per minute for estimating s in this case?

Refer to Exercise 9.20. Explain what each of the following would mean.

a. Type I error

b. Type II error

c. Correct decision

Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean post-work heart rate of casting workers

d. equals the normal resting heart rate of 72 bpm.

e. exceeds the normal resting heart rate of 72 bpm.
