A teacher believes that 85%of students in the class will want to go on a field trip to the local zoo. She performs a hypothesis test to determine if the percentage is the same or different from 85%. The teacher samples 50students and 39reply that they would want to go to the zoo. For the hypothesis test, use a 1%level of significance.

First, determine what type of test this is, set up the hypothesis test, find the p-value, sketch the graph, and state your conclusion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The test is two-tailed test .

b. The value of p is 0.166

c. We conclude that there is insufficient information to establish that the percent of pupils in the class who will desire to attend on a field trip to the local zoo is the same or different from 85%at the 5%significance level.

d. Graph is,

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

A two-tailed test is required when the degree of uncertainty cannot be identified on the higher or lower side.

02

Explanation Part a

Because the problem is the percentage of pupils in the class who will desire to go on a field trip to the local zoo, this is a check of a singular sample size.

We must put your ideas to the reality.

H0:p=0.85vsHa:p0.85

We have, =1%=0.01

As this is a two-tailed test, the phrase "is the same or different from" indicate this is a two-tailed test.

03

Explanation Part b

The teacher polls n=50students, x=39

say they'd want to visit the zoo.

The random variable Prepresents the percentage of children in the school who desire to travel to the nearby zoo on a school trip. The test's distribution is normal, i.e

P:Np,p(1p)n=N0.85,0.850.1550.

Now we determine the p-value for a mean using the data is normally distributed:

P-value=Pp<0.78orp>0.78=2Pp<0.780.166

where its data from getting is given as in the issue

p=xnp=3950p=0.78

04

Explanation Part c

The conclusion is

=0.01<0.166=P-value.

As a result, we do not rule out H0:p=0.85In other words, the sample proportion phas a 0.166chance of being 0.79or0.92or less.

The sample data do not reveal sufficient evidence that the percentage of kids who will desire to go on a field trip to a local zoo is different from85%at1%level of significance.

Registered nurses earned an average annual salary of \(69,110. For that same year, a survey was conducted of 41 California registered nurses to determine if the annual salary is higher than \)69,110 for California nurses. The sample average was \(71,121 with a sample standard deviation of \)7,489. Conduct a hypothesis test.

A bottle of water is labeled as containing 16 fluid ounces of water. You believe it is less than that. What type of test would you use?

Over the past few decades, public health officials have examined the link between weight concerns and teen girls' smoking. Researchers surveyed a group of 273randomly selected teen girls living in Massachusetts (between 12and 15years old). After four years the girls were surveyed again. Sixty-three said they smoked to stay thin. Is there good evidence that more than thirty percent of the teen girls smoke to stay thin?

After conducting the test, your decision and conclusion are

a. RejectH0: There is sufficient evidence to conclude that more than30%of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

b. Do not rejectH0: There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that less than 30%of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

c. Do not reject H0: There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 30% of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

d. Reject H0: There is sufficient evidence to conclude that less than 30% of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

"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.

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 =0.05 level, can it be concluded that the mean rainfall was below the reported average? What if =0.01? Assume the amount of summer rainfall follows a normal distribution.
