Chapter 10: Q. 87 (page 602)

Conduct a hypothesis test to answer the next two exercises.
87. The exact distribution for the hypothesis test is:
a. the normal distribution
b. the Student's t-distribution
c. the uniform distribution
d. the exponential distribution

Short Answer

Expert verified

The exact distribution for the hypothesis test is option (b) the Student's t-distribution.

Step by step solution

01

To conduct a hypothesis, to exact distribution for the hypothesis test.

Because the data is provided but the population for standard deviation is not, the distribution will be t.
As a result, the answer is the Student's t-distribution.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

At the 1% significance level, what is your conclusion?

Marketing companies have collected data implying that teenage girls use more ring tones on their cellular phones than

teenage boys do. In one particular study of 40 randomly chosen teenage girls and boys (20 of each) with cellular phones,

the mean number of ring tones for the girls was 3.2 with a standard deviation of 1.5. The mean for the boys was 1.7 with

a standard deviation of 0.8. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the means are approximately the same or if the girls鈥�

mean is higher than the boys鈥� mean.

In symbols, what is the random variable of interest for this test?

Five ball players think they can throw the same distance with their dominant hand (throwing) and off-hand (catching hand). The data were collected and recorded in the table given below. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean difference in distances between the dominant and off-hand is significant. Test at the 5%level.

Use the following information to answer the next twelve exercises. In the recent Census, three percent of the U.S. population reported being of two or more races. However, the percent varies tremendously from state to state. Suppose that two random surveys are conducted. In the first random survey, out of 1,000 North Dakotans, only nine people reported being of two or more races. In the second random survey, out of 500 Nevadans, 17 people reported being of two or more races. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the population percents are the same for the two states or if the percent for Nevada is statistically higher than for North Dakota.
Is this a test of means or proportions?
