Problem 1

The statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is \(H_{0}\) and which is \(H_{a}\). $$\mu \leq 100$$

Problem 2

The statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is \(H_{0}\) and which is \(H_{a}\). $$\mu \neq 48$$

Problem 3

The statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is \(H_{0}\) and which is \(H_{a}\). $$p<0.205$$

Problem 4

The statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is \(H_{0}\) and which is \(H_{a}\). $$\mu=16$$

Problem 6

The statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is \(H_{0}\) and which is \(H_{a}\). $$p \leq 0.4$$

Problem 7

(a) state the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim, (b) describe type I and type II errors for a hypothesis test of the claim, (c) explain whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, (d) explain how you should interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis, and (e) explain how you should interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis. A polling organization reports that the proportion of U.S. adults who have volunteered their time or donated money to help clean up the environment is \(65 \%\). (Source: Rasmussen Reports)

Problem 8

(a) state the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim, (b) describe type I and type II errors for a hypothesis test of the claim, (c) explain whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, (d) explain how you should interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis, and (e) explain how you should interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis. A car rental company claims that its cars are driven for at least 10,000 miles on an average.

Problem 9

(a) state the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim, (b) describe type I and type II errors for a hypothesis test of the claim, (c) explain whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, (d) explain how you should interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis, and (e) explain how you should interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis. A nonprofit consumer organization says that the standard deviation of the fuel economies of its top-rated vehicles for a recent year is no more than \(9.5\) miles per gallon. (Adapted from Consumer Reports)

Problem 11

Find the \(P\)-value for the hypothesis test with the standardized test statistic z. Decide whether to reject \(H_{0}\) for the level of significance \(\alpha\). Left-tailed test, \(z=-1.18, \alpha=0.05\)

Problem 12

Find the \(P\)-value for the hypothesis test with the standardized test statistic z. Decide whether to reject \(H_{0}\) for the level of significance \(\alpha\). Two-tailed test, \(z=2.57, \alpha=0.10\)
