Toastmasters International cites a report by Gallop Poll that 40% of Americans fear public speaking. A student believes that less than 40% of students at her school fear public speaking. She randomly surveys 361 schoolmates and finds that 135 report they fear public speaking. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the percent at her school is less than 40%.
Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spent 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 hours with a sample standard deviation of . Conduct a hypothesis test, the error is:
a. to conclude that the current mean hours per week is higher than , when in fact, it is higher
b. to conclude that the current mean hours per week is higher than , when in fact, it is the same
c. to conclude that the mean hours per week currently is , when in fact, it is higher
d. to conclude that the mean hours per week currently is no higher than , when in fact, it is not higher
For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 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 patrons and found that borrowed books. Did the class demonstrate that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY? Use level of significance. What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?
Since both and are given, which should be used ? In one or two complete sentences, explain why.
Determine both Typeand Typeerrors for the following scenario:
Assume a null hypothesis,, that states the percentage of adults with jobs is at least .
Identify the Typeand Type errors from these four statements.
a. Not to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who have jobs is at least when that percentage is actually less than
b. Not to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who have jobs is at least when the percentage is actually at least .
c. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who have jobs is at least when the percentage is actually at least .
d. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who have jobs is at least when that percentage is actually less than .
