Candy! In the study of the candy machine from Exercise 66, the sample mean weight for the bags of candy was 19.28 ounces and the sample standard deviation was 0.81 ounce.

a. Calculate the standardized test statistic.

b. Find and interpret the P-value.

c. What conclusion would you make?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a) t=0.855

Part b) 0.30<P<0.40orP=0.39532

There is a 39.532%possibility of getting a sample mean amount of candy of 19.28ounces in 75bags of candies when the population means the amount of candy is 19.2ounces.

Part c) There is not enough convincing proof that the mean amount of candy that the machine put in all bags filled that day differs from 19.2ounces.

Step by step solution

01

Part a) Step 1: Given information

H0:=19.2H0:notequalto19.2=0.10n=75x=19.28s=0.81

02

Part a) Step 2: Explanation

We know,

t=x-0s/n

The test statistic is

t=x-0s/n=19.28-19.20.81/75=0.855

03

Part b) Step 1: Explanation

From part (a)

we have,

t=0.855

The P-value is the probability of getting the value of the test statistic, or a value more extreme, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.

df=n-1=75-1=74

. Note: it is required to double the boundaries of the value of the test statistic, the reason is the test is two-tailed (due to the 鈮 in the alternative hypothesis H1).

df=74is not available in the table, there is a need to use the nearest smaller degrees of freedom df=60instead.

0.30=2(0.15)<P<2(0.20)=0.40

Command Ti83/84-calculator: 2*tcdf (0.855,1E99,74)which will return a P-value of 0.39532Note: it could replace 1 E99 by any other very large positive number. There is a 39.532%possibility of getting a sample mean amount of candy of 19.28ounces in 75 bags of candies, when the population mean amount of candy is 19.2ounces.

04

Part c) Step 1: Explanation

From part (b)

We have,

0.30=2(0.15)<P<2(0.20)=0.40

Command Ti83/84-calculator: 2*tcdf(0.855,1E99,74)) which will return a P-value of 0.39532Note: it could replace 1E99by any other very large positive number. If the P-value is lesser than the significance level 伪, then the null hypothesis is rejected.

P>0.05Fail to rejectH0

There is no enough convincing proof that the mean amount of candy that the machine put in all bags filled that day differs from 19.2ounces.

Losing weight A Gallup poll found that 59% of the people in its sample said 鈥淵es鈥 when asked, 鈥淲ould you like to lose weight?鈥 Gallup announced: 鈥淔or results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the margin of (sampling) error is 卤3 3percentage points.鈥12 Based on the confidence interval, is there convincing evidence that the true proportion of U.S. adults who would say they want to lose weight differs from 0.55? Explain your reasoning

How much juice? Refer to Exercise 3. The mean amount of liquid in the bottles is 179.6ml and the standard deviation is 1.3ml. A significance test yields a P-value of 0.0589. Interpret the P-value.

Bags of a certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14ounces. Net weights vary slightly from bag to bag and are Normally distributed with mean 渭 . A representative of a consumer advocacy group wishes to see if there is convincing evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised and so intends to test the hypotheses

H0:=14Ha:<14

A Type I error in this situation would mean concluding that the bags

a. are being underfilled when they aren鈥檛.

b. are being underfilled when they are.

c. are not being underfilled when they are.

d. are not being underfilled when they aren鈥檛.

e. are being overfilled when they are underfilled

Based on the P-value in Exercise 31, which of the following would be the most

appropriate conclusion?

a. Because the P-value is large, we reject H0. We have convincing evidence that more than 50%of city residents support the tax increase.

b. Because the P-value is large, we fail to reject H0. We have convincing evidence that more than 50%of city residents support the tax increase.

c. Because the P-value is large, we reject H0. We have convincing evidence that at most 50%of city residents support the tax increase.

d. Because the P-value is large, we fail to reject H0. We have convincing evidence that at most 50%of city residents support the tax increase.

e. Because the P-value is large, we fail to reject H0. We do not have convincing

evidence that more than 50%of city residents support the tax increase.

Error probabilities and power You read that a significance test at the =0.01

significance level has probability 0.14of making a Type II error when a specific alternative is true.
