A company that manufactures classroom chairs for high school students
claims that the mean breaking strength of the chairs is 300 pounds. One of the chairs collapsed beneath a 220-pound student last week. You suspect that the manufacturer is exaggerating the breaking strength of the chairs, so you would like to perform a test of where 渭 is the true mean breaking strength of this company鈥檚 classroom chairs.
a. The power of the test to detect that 渭=294 based on a random sample of 30
chairs and a significance level of 伪=0.05 is 0.71. Interpret this value.
b. Find the probability of a Type I error and the probability of a Type II error for the test in part (a).
c. Describe two ways to increase the power of the test in part (a).
Walking to school A recent report claimed that of students typically walk to school. DeAnna thinks that the proportion is higher than at her large elementary school. She surveys a random sample of students and finds that typically walk to school. DeAnna would like to carry out a test at the significance level of versus , where = the true proportion of all students at her elementary school who typically walk to school. Check if the conditions for performing the significance test are met.
Walking to school Refer to Exercise 36.
a. Explain why the sample result gives some evidence for the alternative hypothesis.
b. Calculate the standardized test statistic and -value.
c. What conclusion would you make?
We want to be rich In a recent year, of first-year college students responding to a national survey identified 鈥渂eing very well-off financially鈥 as an important personal goal. A state university finds that of an SRS of of its first-year students say that this goal is important. Is there convincing evidence at the significance level that the proportion of all first-year students at this university who think being very well-off is important differs from the national value of 73%?
