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%.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option c which is less than 20%when in fact, it is at least20%

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

First we have to write the null and alternative hypotheses. H0:p=20;Ha:p<20

It is important to learn how to write null and alternate hypotheses to solve this kind of problem.

02

Explanation part A

For a Type I error to occur H0 has to be rejected even when it is True.

a is incorrect because the null hypothesis stated that Evergreen College pupils who went to the opening show of the recent HP movie equals 20%.

03

Explanation Part B

For a Type I error to occur H0 has to be rejected even when it is True.

b is incorrect option because the null hypothesis stated that Evergreen College pupils who went to the opening show of the recent HP movie less than20%

04

Explanation Part C

For a Type I error to occur H0 has to be rejected even when it is True.

Therefore the correct answer is option c. less than 20%when in fact, it is at least 20%.

The null hypothesis was rejected as the null hypothesis stated that Evergreen College pupils who went to the opening show of the recent HP movie equals20

05

Explanation Part D

For a Type I error to occur H0 has to be rejected even when it is True.

a is incorrect because the null hypothesis stated that Evergreen College pupils who went to the opening show of the recent HP movie equals 20%but the option states less than 20%which is infact less only.

H0:1,Ha:>1

Assume the p-value is 0.1243. What type of test is this? Draw the picture of the p-value.

Assume the null hypothesis states that the mean is equal to 88. The alternative hypothesis states that the mean is not

equal to 88. Is this a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?

Over the past few decades, public health officials have examined the link between weight concerns and teen girls' smoking. Researchers surveyed a group of 273 randomly selected teen girls living in Massachusetts (between 12 and 15 years 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 teen girls smoke to stay thin? The alternative hypothesis is:

"Dalmatian Darnation," by Kathy Sparling

A greedy dog breeder named Spreckles

Bred puppies with numerous freckles

The Dalmatians he sought

Possessed spot upon spot

The more spots, he thought, the more shekels.

His competitors did not agree

That freckles would increase the fee.

They said, 鈥淪pots are quite nice

But they don't affect price;

One should breed for improved pedigree.鈥

The breeders decided to prove

This strategy was a wrong move.

Breeding only for spots

Would wreak havoc, they thought.

His theory they want to disprove.

They proposed a contest to Spreckles

Comparing dog prices to freckles.

In records they looked up

One hundred one pups:

Dalmatians that fetched the most shekels.

They asked Mr. Spreckles to name

An average spot count he'd claim

To bring in big bucks.

Said Spreckles, 鈥淲ell, shucks,

It's for one hundred one that I aim.鈥

Said an amateur statistician

Who wanted to help with this mission.

鈥淭wenty-one for the sample

Standard deviation's ample:

They examined one hundred and one

Dalmatians that fetched a good sum.

They counted each spot,

Mark, freckle and dot

And tallied up every one.

Instead of one hundred one spots

They averaged ninety six dots

Can they muzzle Spreckles鈥

Obsession with freckles

Based on all the dog data they've got?

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~________________

a. N(7.24, 1.9322)

b.N(7.24,1.93)

c. t22
