Chapter 9: Q 22. (page 565)

Philly fanatics? Nationally, the proportion of red cars on the road is 0.12.A statistically minded fan of the Philadelphia Phillies (whose team color is red) wonders if Phillies fans are more likely to drive red cars. One day during a home game, he takes a random sample of 210cars parked at Citizens Bank Park (the Phillies home field), and counts 35red cars.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameter of interest.

b. Explain why there is some evidence for the alternative hypothesis.

c. The P-value for the test in (a) is 0.0187. Interpret the P-value.

d. What conclusion would you make at the 伪=0.05 significance level?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. H0:p=0.12and H1:p>0.12

b. Sample proportion is greater than 0.12and it corresponds to claim of alternative hypothesis.

c. There is a 1.87%confidence that 35or more out of 210randomly selected Phillies fans own a red car.

d. Enough convincing proof is present that the proportion of red cars among Phillies fans is greater than 0.12..

Making conclusions A student performs a test of H0:渭=12versus Ha:渭鈮�12

at the 伪=0.05significance level and gets a P-value of 0.01. The

student writes: 鈥淏ecause the P-value is small, we reject H0. The data prove that Hais true.鈥� Explain what is wrong with this conclusion.

Do you Tweet? The Pew Internet and American Life Project asked a random sample of U.S. adults, 鈥淒o you ever 鈥� use Twitter or another service to share updates about yourself or to see updates about others?鈥� According to Pew, the resulting 95% confidence interval is (0.123, 0.177).11 Based on the confidence interval, is there convincing evidence that the true proportion of U.S. adults who would say they use Twitter or another service to share updates differs from 0.17? Explain your reasoning.

Experiments on learning in animals sometimes measure how long it takes mice to find their way through a maze. The mean time is 18 seconds for one particular maze. A researcher thinks that a loud noise will cause the mice to complete the maze faster. She measures how long each of 10 mice takes with a loud noise as stimulus. The appropriate hypotheses for the significance test are

a. H0:渭=18;Ha:渭鈮�18

b. H0:渭=18;Ha:渭>18

c. H0:渭<18;Ha:渭=18

d. H0:渭=18;Ha:渭<18

e. H0:x炉=18;Ha:x炉<18

Powerful potatoes Refer to Exercise 85. Determine if each of the following

changes would increase or decrease the power of the test. Explain your answers.

a. Change the significance level to 伪=0.10

b. Take a random sample of 250 potatoes instead of 500 potatoes.

c. The true proportion is p=0.10 instead of p=0.11

Interpreting a P-value A student performs a test of H0:渭=100H0:渭=100versus Ha: 渭>100Ha:渭>100and gets a P-value of 0.044.The student says, "There is a0.044 probability of getting the sample result I did by chance alone." Explain why the student's explanation is wrong.
