Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spent 4.5 hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization

thinks that, currently, the mean is higher. Fifteen randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they

spend on the phone. The sample mean was 4.75 hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.0. Conduct a hypothesis test.

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

a.Ho:x=4.5,Ha:x>4.5b.Ho:4.5,Ha:<4.5c.Ho:=4.75,Ha:>4.75d.Ho:=4.5,Ha:>4.5

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is d.Ho:=4.5,Ha:>4.5.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We are given,

Old mean = 4.5

New mean = 4.75

Standard deviation ()=2

n (Sample size) = 15

02

Explanation Part a

The formula for calculating z is:

z=x-xnz=4.5-4.75215z=5.39

We can see that it is much more than the expected time a teenager spent per week, therefore, we can say that option a is not correct.

03

Explanation Part b

We have obtained z=5.39which is much more than the expected time spent by a teenager on the phone, whereas, we are given null hypothesis as 4.5which is the expected time spent on phone by teenager, therefore, we can conclude that the option b is incorrect.

04

Explanation Part c

we are given null hypothesis as 4.5which is the expected time spent on phone by teenager, whereas, sample mean is given to us as 4.75which does not fit in the scenario here.

Therefore, option c is incorrect.

05

Explanation Part d

Since we are given null hypothesis as 4.5is the expected time spent on phone by teenager and alternative hypothesis mostly is what is being said by the researchers we conclude that Ha:>4.5.

Therefore option d is correct.

For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 67% of patrons borrow books. The library director in Owensboro, Kentucky feels this is not true, so she asked a local college statistic class to conduct a survey. The class randomly selected 100 patrons and found that 82borrowed books. Did the class demonstrate that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY? Use =0.01 level of significance. What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?

"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?

Driver error can be listed as the cause of approximately 54%of all fatal auto accidents, according to the American Automobile Association. Thirty randomly selected fatal accidents are examined, and it is determined that 14were caused by driver error. Using =0.05, is the AAA proportion accurate?

"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 is 1%.

So, armed with this knowledge, I wrote a new test program Y that will generate the same error that test program X 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 program 50 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?

It is believed that Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average. A survey of 22 LTCC Intermediate Algebra students generated a mean of 7.24 hours with a standard deviation of 1.93 hours. At a level of significance of 5%, do LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than

seven hours of sleep per night, on average? The distribution to be used for this test is X~________________
