Chapter 9: Q.40 (page 562)

A test of H0:p=0.65against Ha:p<0.65has test statistic z = -1.78.

(a) What conclusion would you draw at the 5% significance level? At the 1% level?

(b) If the alternative hypothesis were H0:p=0.65, what conclusion would you draw at the 5% significance level? At the 1% level?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. At 5%the null hypothesis gets rejected and at 1%it is not rejected.

b. At the 5%significance level and at the 1%level the null hypothesis doesn't get rejected.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The null hypothesis recommends that no measurable relationship and importance exists in a bunch of given single noticed variables, between two arrangements of noticed information and estimated peculiarities.

02

Explanation Part (a)

The null and alternative hypotheses are,

H0:p=0.65Ha:p<0.65

Test statistic z = -1.78

Calculating the p-value,

=P(Z>|鈭�1.78|)=0.0375

Thus At 5%the null hypothesis gets rejected as the p-value is less and at 1%it is not rejected as p-value is greater.

03

Explanation Part (b)

The null and alternative hypotheses are,

H0:p=0.65Ha:p鈮�0.65

Calculating the p-value,

=2脳P(Z>|Z|)

=2脳0.0375=0.0750

Hence at the 5%significance level and at the 1%level the null hypothesis doesn't get rejected as the p-value is greater.

The most important condition for sound conclusions from statistical inference is that

(a) the data come from a well-designed random sample or randomized experiment

(b) the population distribution be exactly Normal.

(c) the data contain no outliers.

(d) the sample size be no more than 10%of the population size.

(c) the sample size be at least 30.

Reporting cheating What proportion of students

are willing to report cheating by other students? A

student project put this question to an SRS of 172

undergraduates at a large university: 鈥淵ou witness two

students cheating on a quiz. Do you go to the professor?鈥�

The Minitab output below shows the results of a

significance test and a 95% confidence interval based

on the survey data.18

(a) Define the parameter of interest.

(b) Check that the conditions for performing the significance test are met in this case.

(c) Interpret the P-value in context.

(d) Do these data give convincing evidence that the actual population proportion differs from 0.15? Justify your answer with appropriate evidence.

You are testing HO:渭=10H伪:渭<10against based on an SRS of 20observations from a Normal population. The tstatistic is . t=-2.25The P-value

(a) falls between 0.01and0.02

(b) falls between0.02and0.04

(c) falls between0.04and0.05

(d) falls between .05and0.25.

(c) is greater than0.25.

The design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. A student project investigated this effect by asking 25right-handed students to turn a knob (with their right hands) that moved an indicator. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread (the knob turns clockwise) and the other with a left-hand thread (the knob must be turned counterclockwise). Each of the 25students used both instruments in a random order. The following table gives the times in seconds each subject took to move the indicator a fixed distance:

(a) Explain why it was important to randomly assign the order in which each subject used the two knobs.

(b) The project designers hoped to show that right-handed people find right-hand threads easier to use. Carry out a significance test at the 5%significance level to investigate this claim

You are thinking of conducting a one-sample t-test about a population mean M using a 0.05 significance level. You suspect that the distribution of the population is not Normal and may be moderately skewed. Which of the following statements is correct?

(a) You should not carry out the test because the population does not have a Normal distribution.

(b) You can safely carry out the test if your sample size is large and there are no outliers.

(c) You can safely carry out the test if there are no outliers, regardless of the sample size.

(d) You can carry out the test only if the population standard deviation is known.

(e) The t procedures are robust鈥攜ou can u
