Suppose ?1 and ?2 are true mean stopping distances at 50 mph for cars of a certain type equipped with two different types of braking systems. Use the two-sample t test at significance level 0.01 to test H0: ?1 − ?2 = −10 versus Ha: ?1 − ?2 < −10 for the following data: m = 8, x = 114.8, s1 = 5.01, n = 8, y = 129.9, and s2 = 5.35. Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.)
Suppose that at a particular college, a random sample found that 25 out of 100 students who use the internet use Twitter. Does this provide evidence that the true proportion of students at this college who use Twitter is higher than the nationally stated 15%? Use a significance level of 0.05 and the p-value to give your decision. The correct hypotheses to use are: Ho: p = 0.15 HA: p > 0.15 Blank #1: Report the test statistic to two decimal places Blank #2: Report the p-value to four decimal places. Blank #3: Give the test decision: (reject or do not reject) Ho Blank #4: Evidence _[favors or does not favor) that the true proportion of students at this college who use Twitter is higher than the nationally stated 15%.

If Lynell requires her results to be statistically significant at level ?=0.05α=0.05, choose the correct decision for her to make about this test, along with the correct reason for making that decision. Reject ?0H0, because the ?P-value is less than 0.05. Fail to reject ?0H0, because the the difference between the sample count and the expected count is −12.00−12.00, which is too small to be significant. Fail to reject ?0H0, because the ?P-value is less than 0.05. Reject ?0H0, because the ?P-value is greater than 0.01.
The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. An article reports the following summary data on intake for a sample of males age 65-74 years: n = 117, x = 12.2, and s = 6.60. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males age 65-74 falls below the recommended allowance? (Use a = 0.05.)

A study was carried out to evaluate the safety of motorcycle helmets. 40 randomly selected helmets were subiected to a certain impact test and 20 were found to show no damage. The study claimed that the proportion of all helmets that would show no damage when tested in the prescribed manner is smaller than 62.5% (i.e. 5/8). With what confidence can this be claimed? a. 0.91 b. 0.93 c.0.95

Kenneth, a competitor in cup stacking, claims that his average stacking time is 8.2 seconds. During a practice session, Kenneth has a sample stacking time mean of 7.8 seconds based on 11 trials. At the 4% significance level, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that Kenneth's mean stacking time is less than 8.2 seconds? Accept or reject the hypothesis given the sample data below. H0:μ=8.2 seconds; Ha:μ<8.2 seconds α=0.04 (significance level) z0=−1.75 p=0.0401 Select the correct answer below: a. Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04. b. Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04. c. Reject the null hypothesis because the value of z is negative. d. Reject the null hypothesis because |−1.75|>0.04. e. Do not reject the null hypothesis because |−1.75|>0.04.

The recidivism rate for convicted sex offenders is 13%. A warden suspects that this percent is different if the sex offender is also a drug addict. Of the 309 convicted sex offenders who were also drug addicts, 31 of them became repeat offenders. What can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? ✓ Select an answer H₁: ?
