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.

ater than 2 in ten thousand.

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

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.
Z test statistic= 0.6667, p-value 0.2524, Do not reject the null. 8.
Use the given information to find the P-value. Also, use a 0.05 significance level and stat
e the conclusion about the null hypothesis (reject the nullhypothesis or fail to reject the n
ull hypothesis). With H1: p ≠ 0.501, the test statistic is z = 2.83.
a.
0.0023; fail to reject the null hypothesis
b. 0.0046; fail to reject the null hypothesis
c. 0.0046; reject the null hypothesis
d. 0.0023; reject the null hypothesis
9.
Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the
original claim. If p value = 0.02, then
a.
the null is rejected at α = 0.05.
b.
the null is rejected at α = 0.01.
c.
the null will be rejected at both α = 0.01 and α = 0.05
d.
It can not be determined.
10.
Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the original
claim. An entomologist writes an article in a scientificjournal which claims that fewer tha

a.
There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true proportion is less than 4 in t
en thousand.

There is not sufficient evidence to supportthe claim that the true proportion is les

c.
There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true proportion is g

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true proportion is great

11.
Determine whether the hypothesis test involves a sampling distribution of means
that is a normal distribution, Student t distribution, or neither.Claim: μ = 119. Sa
mple data: n = 11, overbar(x) = 110, s = 15.2. The sample data appear to come
from a normally distributed population with unknown μ and σ.
a. Student t
b. Normal
c. Neither

Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the ori
ginal claim. Generic drugs are lower-cost substitutes for brand-name drugs. Before a ge
neric drug can be sold in the United States, it must be tested and found to perform equi
valently to the brand name product. The U.S.Food and Drug Administration is now super
vising the testing of a new generic antifungal ointment. The brand-name ointment is kn
own to deliver a mean of 3.5micrograms of active ingredient to each square centimeter
of skin. As part of the testing, seven subjects apply the ointment. Six hours later, the a
mount ofdrug that has been absorbed into the skin is measured. The amounts, in micro
grams, are 2.6 3.2 2.1 3.0 3.1 2.9 3.7 How strong is the evidence that the meanamount
absorbed differs from 3.5 micrograms? Use the = 0.05 level of significance.
DF= 6 , t test -statistic = -2.95, p-value=0.026; Reject the null.
13. Suppose we want to test the claim the majority of adults are in favor of rising the voting age to 21. I the hypothesis test left-tailed, right-tailed, or two tailed?
Right tailed.

) Marshall is superstitious and suspects that people who take the GRE while wearing the same dirty socks that they wore when they got their best score on a practice test will do better than people who do not wear these “lucky” socks. In order to test that hypothesis among college students, he made 20 students wear their “lucky” socks and 20 not wear their lucky “socks” while taking the GRE test. Although he was convinced that people who wore their “lucky” socks would score higher than people who didn’t, he wanted to be able to test the possibility that they could score lower. Their scores are as follows:
