1.
Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the
original claim. A skeptical paranormal researcher claims that theproportion of Am
ericans that have seen a UFO, p, is less than 2 in every ten thousand. Assuming t
hat a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted andthat the conclusion is f
ailure to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.
a.There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true proportion is l
ess than 2 in ten thousand.
b. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true proportion is
greater than 2 in ten thousand.
c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true proportion is less
than 2 in ten thousand.
d. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true proportion is gre
ater than 2 in ten thousand.
2.
Assume that the data has a normal distribution and the number of observations i
s greater than fifty. Find the critical z value used to test a nullhypothesis. α = 0.0
5 for a two-tailed test. Group of answer choices
3.
Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. An e
ntomologist writes an article in a scientific journal which claimsthat fewer than 14
in ten thousand male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutati
on. Use the appropriate parameter (p or μ) , the trueproportion of fireflies unable
to produce light. Group of answer choices
a.
H0: p = 0.0014 H1: p > 0.0014
b. H0: μ = 0.0014 H1: μ > 0.0014
c. H0: p = 0.0014 H1: p < 0.0014
d. H0: μ = 0.0014 H1: μ < 0.0014
4.
Use the given information to find the Pvalue. Also, use a 0.05 significance level a
nd state
the conclusion about the null hypothesis (reject the nullhypothesis or fail to reject
the null hypothesis). The test statistic in a left-tailed test is z = -2.05. Group of an
swer choices
5.
Assume that the data has a normal distribution and the number of observations i
s greater than fifty. Find the critical z value used to test a nullhypothesis. α = 0.05 for a lef
t-tailed test.
6.
Find the value of the test statistic z using z = ((p) hat - p/square root of ((pq/n))) .
A claim is made that the proportion of children who play sportsis less than 0.5, a
nd the sample statistics include n = 1469 subjects with 30% saying that they pla
y a sport.
7.
The mean height of adult men in the U.S. is 69.7 inches, with a standar
d deviation of 3 inches. A sociologist believes that taller men may be m
orelikely to be promoted to positions of leadership, so the mean height
of male business executives may be greater than the mean height of t
he entire malepopulation. A simple random sample of 100 male busine
ss executives has a mean height of 69.9 in. Assume that the standard
deviation of male executiveheights is = 3 inches. Can we conclude that
male business executives are taller on the average than the general m
ale population at the = 0.05 level.
