Chapter 9: Q.14 (page 547)

For the study of Jordanian children in Exercise 4, the sample mean hemoglobin level was 11.3 g/dl and the sample standard deviation was 1.6 g/dl. A significance test yields a P-value of 0.0016.

(a) Interpret the P-value in context.

(b) What conclusion would you make if 伪= 0.05? 伪= 0.01? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. There is a chance of 0.16%of obtaining a sample mean when the mean population is12.

b. There is enough evidence against null hypothesis.

Step by step solution

01

introduction

Given,

mean population is11.3

standard deviation is1.6

sample size is50

new population value is0.0016

02

explanation part (a)

Calculating the null and alternative hypotheses,

population mean value is 12

Ho:渭=12Ha:渭<12

Hence there is a0.16%chance of obtaining a sample mean of11.3gram per deciliter of blood or more.

03

explanation part (b)

Now,

Population mean when 伪=0.05

p = 0.0101which is less than 0.05

Thus the null hypothesis is invalid.

Population mean when 伪=0.01

p = 0.0016which is greater than 0.01

Thus the null hypothesis is invalid as there is enough evidence against the null hypothesis

Attitudes The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures students鈥� attitudes toward school and study habits. Scores range from 0to200. The mean score for U.S. college students is about 115. A teacher suspects that

older students have better attitudes toward school. She gives the SSHA to an SRS of 45of the over 1000students at her college who are at least 30years of age. Check the conditions for carrying out a significance test of the teacher鈥檚 suspicion.

Refer to Exercise 79. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the population mean M. What additional information does the confidence interval provide .

Two-sided test The one-sample t statistic from a sample of n=25observations for the two-sided test of H0:渭=64;Ha:渭鈮�64has the value t=-1.12.

(a) Find the P-value for this test using (i) Table Band (ii) your calculator. What conclusion would you draw at the 5%significance level? At the 1%significance level?

(b) Redo part (a) using an alternative hypothesis of Ha:渭<64.

Cash to find work? (5.2) Will cash bonuses speed the return to work of unemployed people? The Illinois Department of Employment Security designed an experiment to find out. The subjects were 10,065 people aged 20 to 54 who were filing claims for

unemployment insurance. Some were offered \(500 if they found a job within 11 weeks and held it for at least 4 months. Others could tell potential employers that the state would pay the employer \)500 for hiring them. A control group got neither kind of bonus.

(a) Describe a completely randomized design for this experiment.

(b) How will you label the subjects for random assignment? Use Table D at line 127 to choose the first 3 subjects for the first treatment.

(c) Explain the purpose of a control group in this setting.

Which of the following 95%confidence intervals would lead us to reject H0 : p=0.30 in favor of

Ha :p not equal to 0.30 at the 5% significance level?

(a)(0.29,0.38)(c)(0.27,0.31)(e)Noneofthese(b)(0.19,0.27)(d)(0.24,0.30)
