A significance test allows you to reject a null hypothesis H0H0in favor of an alternative hypothesisHaaat the 5%significance level. What can you say about significance at the1%level?

a.H0H0can be rejected at the1%significance level.

b. There is insufficient evidence to rejectH0H0at the1%significance level.

c. There is sufficient evidence to accept H0H0at the 1%significance level.

d.HaHacan be rejected at the 1%significance level.

e. The answer can't be determined from the information given.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The answer can't be determined from the information given.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Given information

A significance test allows you to reject a null hypothesis H0H0in favor of an alternative hypothesis HaHaat the5% significance level.

02

Step 2:Explaination

Reject the null hypothesis }H0if and only if and given that the P-value is smaller than the significance level.

At the 5 percent significance level the null hypothesis was rejected:

P<0.05=5%

Do not know if the p-valuePis less than1%or not

Hence, the correct option is (e)

Fonts and reading ease Does the use of fancy type fonts slow down the reading of text on a computer screen? Adults can read four paragraphs of a certain text in the common Times New Roman font in an average time of 22 seconds. Researchers asked a random sample of 24 adults to read this text in the ornate font named Gigi. Here are their times (in seconds):

Do these data provide convincing evidence that it takes adults longer than 22 seconds, on average, to read these four paragraphs in Gigi font?

Members of the city council want to know if a majority of city residents supports a 1%increase in the sales tax to fund road repairs. To investigate, they survey a random sample of 300city residents and use the results to test the following hypotheses:

H0:p=0.50

Ha:p>0.50

where pis the proportion of all city residents who support a 1% increase in the sales tax to fund road repairs.

A Type I error in the context of this study occurs if the city council

a. finds convincing evidence that a majority of residents supports the tax increase, when in reality there isn鈥檛 convincing evidence that a majority supports the increase.

b. finds convincing evidence that a majority of residents supports the tax increase, when in reality at most 50%of city residents support the increase.

c. finds convincing evidence that a majority of residents supports the tax increase, when in reality more than 50%of city residents do support the increase.

d. does not find convincing evidence that a majority of residents supports the tax increase, when in reality more than 50%of city residents do support the increase.

Pressing pills A drug manufacturer forms tablets by compressing a granular material that contains the active ingredient and various fillers. The hardness of a sample from each batch of tablets produced is measured to control the compression process. The target value for the hardness is 渭=11.5The hardness data for a random sample of 20 tablets from one large batch are

Is there convincing evidence at the 5%level that the mean hardness of the tablets in this batch differs from the target value?

Jump around Student researchers Haley, Jeff, and Nathan saw an article on the Internet claiming that the average vertical jump for teens was 15 inches. They wondered if the average vertical jump of students at their school differed from 15 inches, so they obtained a list of student names and selected a random sample of 20 students. After contacting these students several times, they finally convinced them to allow their vertical jumps to be measured. Here are the data (in inches):

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.10 level that the average vertical jump of students at this school differs from 15 inches?

Teen drivers A state鈥檚 Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) claims that 60%

of all teens pass their driving test on the first attempt. An investigative reporter examines an SRS of the DMV records for 125teens; 86of them passed the test on their first try. Is there convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05significance level that the DMV鈥檚 claim is incorrect?
