Chapter 9: Q. 112 (page 555)

The Weather Underground reported that the mean amount of summer rainfall for the northeastern US is at least 11.52 inches. Ten cities in the northeast are randomly selected and the mean rainfall amount is calculated to be 7.42 inches with a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. At the 伪=0.05 level, can it be concluded that the mean rainfall was below the reported average? What if 伪=0.01? Assume the amount of summer rainfall follows a normal distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that mean rainfall was below the reported average11.52inches.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

M=7.42inches,S=1.3inches,n=10.

02

Explanation

State the hypothesis:

The null hypothesis states that mean rainfall is greater than or equal to the reported average 11.52inches. In symbols:

H0:渭鈮�11.52

The alternative hypothesis states that mean rainfall is less than the reported average 11.52inches. In symbols:

Ha:渭<11.52

The degree of freedom is:

df=n-1=10-1=9

The test statistic is:

t=M-渭S/n=7.42-11.521.3/10=-4.100.4111=-9.97

The p-valueis0.0000

Since p-value<0.05and p-value<0.01also, reject the null hypothesis at a=0.05anda=0.01both. We conclude that mean rainfall is less than the reported average 11.52inches.

La Leche League International reports that the mean age of weaning a child from breastfeeding is age four to five worldwide. In America, most nursing mothers wean their children much earlier. Suppose a random survey is conducted of 21 U.S. mothers who recently weaned their children. The mean weaning age was nine months (3/4 year) with a standard deviation of 4 months. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean weaning age in the U.S. is less than four years old.

The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5a percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be?

According to the Center for Disease Control website, in 2011 at least 18% of high school students have smoked a cigarette. An Introduction to Statistics class in Davies County, KY conducted a hypothesis test at the local high school (a medium sized鈥揳pproximately 1,200 students鈥搒mall city demographic) to determine if the local high school鈥檚 percentage was lower. One hundred fifty students were chosen at random and surveyed. Of the 150 students surveyed, 82 have smoked. Use a significance level of 0.05 and using appropriate statistical evidence, conduct a hypothesis test and state the conclusions.
