Part (a)t=-1.311

0.10=2(0.05)<P<2(0.10)=0.20

OrP=0.19622

There is no enough convincing proof that the true mean height of this year's female graduates from the large high school differs from the national average.

Part (b) There is enough convincing proof that the true proportion of students in their school who have played in the rain is greater than0.25.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)Step 1:Given information 

=0.05

n=48

x=63.5

s=3.7

Claim is that the mean is different from64.2

02

Part (b) Step 2:Explaination

The claim is either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis statement is that the population mean is equal to the value given in the claim. If the null hypothesis is the claim, then the alternative hypothesis statement is the opposite of the null hypothesis.

H0:=64.2

H1:64.2

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=48-1=47. The test is two-tailed (due to the in the alternative hypothesis H1). Although the table is not having df=47, so usingdf=40instead.

0.10=2(0.05)<P<2(0.10)=0.20

Command Ti83/84- calculator:2*tcdf(-1E99,-1.311,47)which would return a P-value of0.19622.

If the P-value is lesser than the significance level then reject the null hypothesis

P>0.05Fail to rejectH0

There is no enough convincing proof that the true mean height of this year's female graduates from the large high school differs from the national average.

03

Part (b)Step 2:Given information

=0.05

n=48

x=28

04

Part (b) Step 2:Explaination

The claim is either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis statement is that the population proportion is equal to the value given in the claim. If the null hypothesis is the claim, then the alternative hypothesis statement is the opposite of the null hypothesis.

H0:p=0.25

H1:p>0.25

The sample proportion is

p^=xn=2880=0.35

The test-statistic is

z=p^-p0p01-p0n

=0.35-0.250.25(1-0.25)80

=2.07

The P-value is the probability of getting the value of the test statistic or a value more extreme, when the null hypothesis is true. Find the P-value using the normal probability table

P=P(Z>2.07)

=1-P(Z<2.07)

=1-0.9808

=0.0192

If the P-value is lesser than the significance level , then reject the null hypothesis:

P<0.05RejectH0

There is enough convincing proof that the true proportion of students in their school who have played in the rain is greater than 0.25.

Awful accidents Slow response times by paramedics, firefighters, and policemen can have serious consequences for accident victims. In the case of life-threatening injuries, victims generally need medical attention within 8minutes of the accident. Several cities have begun to monitor emergency response times. In one such city, emergency personnel took more than 8minutes to arrive on 22%of all calls involving life-threatening injuries last year. The city manager shares this information and encourages these first responders to 鈥渄o better.鈥 After 6months, the city manager selects an SRS of 400 calls involving life- threatening injuries and examines the response times. She then performs a test at the =0.05level of H0: p=0.22versus Ha:p<0.22, where pis the true proportion of calls involving life-threatening injuries during this 6-month period for which emergency personnel took more than 8minutes to arrive.

b. Which type of error is more serious in this case? Justify your answer.

c. Based on your answer to part (b), do you agree with the manager鈥檚 choice of =0.05? Why or why not?
