Chapter 8: Q8 (page 371)

Identifying H0and H1. In Exercises 5鈥�8, do the following:

a. Express the original claim in symbolic form.

b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Pulse Rates Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm. For the random sample of 153 adult males in Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 11.3 bpm.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The original claim in symbolic form is written in the following manner:

蟽>11bpm

b. The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis are as follows:

H0:蟽=11

H1:蟽>11

Step by step solution

01

Given information

For a sample of 153 adult males, the pulse rate has a standard deviation, which is equal to 11.3 bpm.

02

Original claim

a.

It is claimed that the standard deviation of the pulse rate of adult males is more than 11 bpm.

Symbolically, the claim would be 蟽>11bpm, where 蟽is the standard deviation of the pulse rate of all adult males.

03

Hypotheses

b.

Null hypothesis: The standard deviation of the pulse rate of adult males is equal to 11 bpm.

H0:蟽=11

Alternative hypothesis: The standard deviation of the pulse rate of adult males is more than 11 bpm.

H1:蟽>11

Finding Critical t Values When finding critical values, we often need significance levels other than those available in Table A-3. Some computer programs approximate critical t values by calculating t=df脳eA2/df-1where df = n-1, e = 2.718, A=z8脳df+3/8脳df+1, and z is the critical z score. Use this approximation to find the critical t score for Exercise 12 鈥淭ornadoes,鈥� using a significance level of 0.05. Compare the results to the critical t score of 1.648 found from technology. Does this approximation appear to work reasonably well?

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 Repeat the preceding exercise using a 0.01 significance level. Does the conclusion change?

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 8 鈥淧ulse Rates鈥�

Test Statistics. In Exercises 13鈥�16, refer to the exercise identified and find the value of the test statistic. (Refer to Table 8-2 on page 362 to select the correct expression for evaluating the test statistic.)

16. Exercise 8 鈥淧ulse Rates鈥�

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.

Testing Effectiveness of Nicotine Patches In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 39 were smoking one year after the treatment and 32 were not smoking one year after the treatment (based on data from 鈥淗igh-Dose Nicotine Patch Therapy,鈥� by Dale et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 274, No. 17). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is not effective?
