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

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Null hypotheses is less than or equal to0.40.

b. Alternative hypotheses is greater than0.40.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

According to the null hypothesis, there is no difference between a proportion and the population's proportion.

The opposition of null hypotheses is stated by the alternative hypothesis

02

Explanation  (part a)  

On the first try not more than 40%is known as null hypotheses.

It is denoted by H0.

So,

H0:p≤0.40

03

Explanation (part b)

On the first try more than 40%is known as alternative hypotheses.

It is denoted by Ha.

So,

Ha:p>0.40

Marketers believe that 92%of adults in the United States own a cell phone. A cell phone manufacturer believes that number is actually lower. 200American adults are surveyed, of which, 174report having cell phones. Use a 5%level of significance. State the null and alternative hypothesis, find the p-value, state your conclusion, and identify the Type Iand Type IIerrors.

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000miles before it needs to be replaced. From past studies of this tire, the standard deviation is known to be 8,000. A survey of owners of that tire design is conducted. From the 28tires surveyed, the mean lifespan was 46,500miles with a standard deviation of 9,800miles. Using alpha =0.05, is the data highly inconsistent with the claim?

A group of divers is exploring an old sunken ship. Suppose the null hypothesis, H0, is: the sunken ship does not contain buried treasure. State the TypeIand TypeIIerrors in complete sentences.

The student academic group on a college campus claims that freshman students study at least 2.5 hours per day, on average. One Introduction to Statistics class was skeptical.
