Draw the graph of a two-tailed test.
The mean age of De Anza College students in a previous term was years old. An instructor thinks the mean age for online students is older than She randomly surveysonline students and finds that the sample mean iswith a standard deviation of Conduct a hypothesis test.
Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is years. A study was then done to see if the meantime has increased in the new century. A random sample of first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The mean length of time in jail from the survey was years with a standard deviation of years. Suppose that it is somehow known that the population standard deviation is . If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the mean length of jail time has increased, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be? The distribution of the population is normal.

On a state driver's test, about pass the test on the first try. We want to test if more than pass on the first try. Fill in the correct symbol for the null and alternative hypotheses.

"Phillip鈥檚 Wish," by Suzanne Osorio
My nephew likes to play
Chasing the girls makes his day.
He asked his mother
If it is okay
To get his ear pierced.
She said, 鈥淣o way!鈥
To poke a hole through your ear,
Is not what I want for you, dear.
He argued his point quite well,
Says even my macho pal, Mel,
Has gotten this done.
It鈥檚 all just for fun.
C鈥檓on please, mom, please, what the hell.
Again Phillip complained to his mother,
Saying half his friends (including their brothers)
Are piercing their ears
And they have no fears
He wants to be like the others.
She said, 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 much less.
We must do a hypothesis test.
And if you are right,
I won鈥檛 put up a fight.
But, if not, then my case will rest.鈥
We proceeded to call fifty guys
To see whose prediction would fly.
Nineteen of the fifty
Said piercing was nifty
And earrings they鈥檇 occasionally buy.
Then there鈥檚 the other thirty-one,
Who said they鈥檇 never have this done.
So now this poem鈥檚 finished.
Will his hopes be diminished,
Or will my nephew have his fun?
