Refer to Exercise 9.119. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if your decision and conclusion would change if your belief were that the brown trout's mean I.Q is not four.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The brown trout's mean I.Q is not four.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Null hypotheses is,

H0:μ=4

Alternative hypotheses is,

H0:μ≠4

The random variable X¯ is the averageI.Q.

n-1=11

Sample mean is,

x¯=5+4+⋯+8+512

=4.92

Sample standard deviation is,

s=∑j=1nxj-x¯2n-1

=∑j=112xj-4.92211

=1.62

Test is,

t11=4.92-41.62/12

=1.958

02

Explanation

We do not reject the null hypothesis when the pvalue is bigger than the established alpha value.

p-value=0.076>0.05

=α

Mean and variance of random is,

x¯-tα2,n-1sn≤μ≤x¯+tα2,n-1sn......1

where tα2,n-1is the upper

100α2percentage point of the distribution with n-1degrees of freedom.

α2=0.025

⇒ta2,n-1=t0.025,11

=2.2.......2

From 1and2,

4.92-2.21.6212≤μ≤4.92+2.21.6212

4.92-2.2×0.468≤μ≤4.92+2.2×0.468

Population proportion is,

3.886≤μ≤5.947

Therefore, Mean I.Q is not four (4).

A recent survey in the N.Y. Times Almanac indicated that 48.8% of families own stock. A broker wanted to determine if this survey could be valid. He surveyed a random sample of 250 families and found that 142 owned some type of stock. At the 0.05 significance level, can the survey be considered to be accurate?

A bathroom scale claims to be able to identify correctly any weight within a pound. You think that it cannot be that

accurate. What type of test would you use?

"Untitled," by Stephen Chen

I've often wondered how software is released and sold to the public. Ironically, I work for a company that sells products with known problems. Unfortunately, most of the problems are difficult to create, which makes them difficult to fix. I usually use the test program X, which tests the product, to try to create a specific problem. When the test program is run to make an error occur, the likelihood of generating an error is1%.

So, armed with this knowledge, I wrote a new test program Y that will generate the same error that test programX creates, but more often. To find out if my test program is better than the original, so that I can convince the management that I'm right, I ran my test program to find out how often I can generate the same error. When I ran my test program50 times, I generated the error twice. While this may not seem much better, I think that I can convince the management to use my test program instead of the original test program. Am I right?

A statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the opening midnight showing of the latest Harry Potter movie. She surveys 84 of her students and finds that 11 of them attended the midnight showing. The Type I error is to conclude that the percent of EVC students who attended is ________.

a. at least 20%, when in fact, it is less than 20%.

b. 20%, when in fact, it is 20%.

c. less than20%, when in fact, it is at least 20%.

d. less than 20%, when in fact, it is less than 20%.

On a state driver's test, about 40%pass the test on the first try. We want to test if more than 40%pass on the first try. Fill in the correct symbol (=,≠,≥,<,≤,>)for the null and alternative hypotheses.

a.H0:p-0.40

b.Ha:p-0.40
