If a hypothesis test were conducted using α= 0.05, for which of the following p-values would the null hypothesis be rejected?

a. .06

b. .10

c. .01

d. .001

e. .251

f. .042

Short Answer

Expert verified

The null hypothesis would be rejected for every case because all of the given p-values are less than the α value.

Step by step solution

01

General rule for each case

P-value is the probability of obtaining a result equal to or more extreme than what was actually observed.

Let us assume that α is the rejection region. The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies in the rejection region.

If the p-value is less than the α value, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis.

02

(a)Calculation

Given that,α= 0.05

The p-value is 0.06

Here, the p-value is less than the αvalue.

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

03

(b) Calculation

Given that, α= 0.05

The p-value is 0.10

Here, the p-value is less than theα value.

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

04

(c) Calculation

Given that, α= 0.05

The p-value is 0.01

Here, the p-value is less than the α value.

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

05

(d) Calculation

Given that, α= 0.05

The p-value is 0.001

Here, the p-value is less than theαvalue.

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

06

(e) Calculation

Given that, α= 0.05

The p-value is 0.251

Here, the p-value is less than theαvalue.

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

07

(f) Calculation

Given that, α= 0.05

The p-value is 0.042

Here, the p-value is less than the αvalue.

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

b. \({H_0}:\mu \le {\mu _0}\) and \({H_a}:\mu > {\mu _0};\alpha = 0.05\)

g. For each rejection region specified in parts a–f, state the probability notation in z and its respective Type I error value.

A random sample of n observations is selected from a normal population to test the null hypothesis that µ=10.Specify the rejection region for each of the following combinations of \(Ha,\alpha ,\) and n:

a.\(Ha:\)µ\( \ne 10;\alpha = .05.;n = 14\)

b.\(Ha:\)µ\( > 10;\alpha = .01;n = 24\)\(\)

c.\(Ha:\)µ\( > 10;\alpha = .10;n = 9\)

d.\(Ha:\)µ <\(10:\alpha = .01;n = 12\)

e.\(Ha:\)µ\( \ne 10;\alpha = .10;n = 20\)

f. \(Ha:\)µ<\(10;\alpha = .05;n = 4\)

Refer to Exercise 6.44 (p. 356), in which 50 consumers taste-tested a new snack food. Their responses (where 0 = do not like; 1 = like; 2 = indifferent) are reproduced below

  1. Test \({H_0}:p = .5\) against \({H_0}:p > .5\), where p is the proportion of customers who do not like the snack food. Use \(\alpha = 0.10\).

An analyst tested the null hypothesis that μ ≥ 20against the alternative hypothesis that μ <20. The analyst reported a p-value of .06. What is the smallest value ofαfor which the null hypothesis would be rejected?

Specify the differences between a large-sample and a small-sample test of a hypothesis about a population mean m. Focus on the assumptions and test statistics.
