26. Suppose that in a certain forest, 25% of the trees have squirrel nests. It turns out that the sampling distribution for the proportion of trees with squirrels in samples of 50 trees approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 25% and a standard deviation of 6%. If you take a sample of 50 trees from this forest, what is the probability that fewer than 15% of the trees in you sample have squirrel nests? (a) 0.025 (b) 0.048 (c) 0.452 (d) 0.548 (e) 0.952

4. Let X be a random variable representing dividend yield of Australian bank stocks. We may assume that X has a normal distribution with standard deviation = 2.4%. A random sample of 19 Australian bank stocks has a sample mean of = 8.71%. For the entire Australian stock market, the mean dividend yield is = 5.9%. Do these data indicate that the dividend yield of all Australian bank stocks is higher than 5.9% ? Use Q=.05. Are the data statistically significant at the given level of significance? Based on your answers, will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? A. The p-value is less than the level of significance and so the data are not statistically significant. Thus, we reject the null hypothesis. B. The p-value is less than the level of significance and so the data are statistically significant. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. C. The p-value is greater than the level of significance and so the data are statistically significant. Thus, we fail to reject the…

We will conduct a hypothesis test at the 10% level of significance to determine whether there is evidence that the true mean fuel efficiency of all cars of this make and model differs from 32 mpg. What is the probability of failing to reject H, if the true mean is in fact 32 mpg? (A) 0.10 (B) 0.95 (C) 0.05 (D) 0.90 (E) 0.20
