A statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20%Evergreen Valley College EVCstudents attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest Harry Potter movie. She surveys 84her students and finds that 11attended the midnight showing. An appropriate alternative hypothesis is:

  1. p=0.20
  2. localid="1650019309031" p>0.20
  3. p<0.20
  4. p0.20

Short Answer

Expert verified

The alternative hypothesis is:Ha:p>0.2.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The one-sample t-test is a statistical hypothesis test that is used to see if an unknown population mean differs from a given value.

The relevant null and alternative hypotheses must be stated first in a hypothesis test.

When completing the test, the second step is to consider the statistical assumptions made about the sample. The relevant test statistic is then shown, and its distribution is calculated using the null hypothesis assumptions.

The null hypothesis states that there is no difference between a proportion and the proportion of the population.

The alternative hypothesis is a population assertion that contradicts toH0

02

Explanation Part a

Note that H0always has a symbol with an equal in it and Hanever has a symbol with an equal in it.

We know that a statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20%students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest Harry Potter movie.

So, the null hypothesis is:

H0:p0.2

Therefore, option a is not correct.

03

Explanation Part b

The null hypothesis states that there is no difference between a proportion and the proportion of the population. The alternative hypothesis is a population assertion that contradictsH0.

As 20%students attend the opening show of harry potter movie, the null hypothesis is:

H0:p0.2

and alternative hypothesis is:

Ha:p>0.2

04

Explanation Part c

We know that a statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20%students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest Harry Potter movie.

So, the null hypothesis is:

H0:p0.2

Then, the alternative hypothesis is:

Ha:p>0.2

Therefore, option c is not correct.

05

Explanation Part d

We know that a statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20%students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest Harry Potter movie.

So, the null hypothesis is:

H0:p0.2

Therefore, option d is not correct.

"Japanese Girls鈥 Names"

by Kumi Furuichi

It used to be very typical for Japanese girls鈥 names to end with 鈥渒o.鈥 (The trend might have started around my grandmothers鈥 generation and its peak might have been around my mother鈥檚 generation.) 鈥淜o鈥 means 鈥渃hild鈥 in Chinese characters. Parents would name their daughters with 鈥渒o鈥 attaching to other Chinese characters which have meanings that they want their daughters to become, such as Sachiko鈥攈appy child, Yoshiko鈥攁 good child, Yasuko鈥攁 healthy child, and so on. However, I noticed recently that only two out of nine of my Japanese girlfriends at this school have names which end with 鈥渒o.鈥 More and more, parents seem to have become creative, modernized, and, sometimes, westernized in naming their children.

I have a feeling that, while 70 percent or more of my mother鈥檚 generation would have names with 鈥渒o鈥 at the end, the proportion has dropped among my peers. I wrote down all my Japanese friends鈥, ex-classmates鈥, co-workers, and acquaintances鈥 names that I could remember. Following are the names. (Some are repeats.) Test to see if the proportion has dropped for this generation.

Ai, Akemi, Akiko, Ayumi, Chiaki, Chie, Eiko, Eri, Eriko, Fumiko, Harumi, Hitomi, Hiroko, Hiroko, Hidemi, Hisako, Hinako, Izumi, Izumi, Junko, Junko, Kana, Kanako, Kanayo, Kayo, Kayoko, Kazumi, Keiko, Keiko, Kei, Kumi, Kumiko, Kyoko, Kyoko, Madoka, Maho, Mai, Maiko, Maki, Miki, Miki, Mikiko, Mina, Minako, Miyako, Momoko, Nana, Naoko, Naoko, Naoko, Noriko, Rieko, Rika, Rika, Rumiko, Rei, Reiko, Reiko, Sachiko, Sachiko, Sachiyo, Saki, Sayaka, Sayoko, Sayuri, Seiko, Shiho, Shizuka, Sumiko, Takako, Takako, Tomoe, Tomoe, Tomoko, Touko, Yasuko, Yasuko, Yasuyo, Yoko, Yoko, Yoko, Yoshiko, Yoshiko, Yoshiko, Yuka, Yuki, Yuki, Yukiko, Yuko, Yuko.

"The Craven," by Mark Salangsang

Once upon a morning dreary

In stats class I was weak and weary.

Pondering over last night鈥檚 homework

Whose answers were now on the board

This I did and nothing more.

While I nodded nearly napping

Suddenly, there came a tapping.

As someone gently rapping,

Rapping my head as I snore.

Quoth the teacher, 鈥淪leep no more.鈥

鈥淚n every class you fall asleep,鈥

The teacher said, his voice was deep.

鈥淪o a tally I鈥檝e begun to keep

Of every class you nap and snore.

The percentage being forty-four.鈥

鈥淢y dear teacher I must confess,

While sleeping is what I do best.

The percentage, I think, must be less,

A percentage less than forty-four.鈥

This I said and nothing more.

鈥淲e鈥檒l see,鈥 he said and walked away,

And fifty classes from that day

He counted till the month of May

The classes in which I napped and snored.

The number he found was twenty-four.

At a significance level of 0.05,

Please tell me am I still alive?

Or did my grade just take a dive

Plunging down beneath the floor?

Upon thee I hereby implore.

According to an article in Bloomberg Businessweek, New York City's most recent adult smoking rate is 14%. Suppose that a survey is conducted to determine this year鈥檚 rate. Nine out of 70 randomly chosen N.Y. City residents reply that they smoke. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the rate is still 14% or if it has decreased.

A normal distribution has a standard deviation of 1.We want to verify a claim that the mean is greater than12.

A sample of 36is taken with a sample mean of12.5.

H0:12

Ha:>12

Thep-value is0.0013.

Draw a graph that shows thep-value.

Suppose the null hypothesis, H0, is: a patient is not sick. Which type of error has the greater consequence, Type Ior TypeII?
