(6) State the alternative hypothesis in both words and symbols. (c) Carry out the appropriate test. Explain what conclusion the consumer advocate should reach. (d) Explain why no calculations are needed to show that the population mean is not significantly less than 16 ounces. 97. A study of the longleaf pine trees in Wade Tract in Thomas County, Georgia measures the diameter at breast height (DBH) for each tree. This is the diameter of the tree at 4.5 feet and the units are in centimeters(cm). Only trees with DBH greater than 1.5 cm were sampled. A random sample of 40 trees had mean 27.9 cm and standard deviation 17.7 cm. We are interested in whether the mean DBH of the longleaf pine tree is greater than 25 cm. Test this claim. (a) State the hypotheses for this problem. (b) Calculate the value of the test statistic. (c) Calculate and interpret the p-value. (d) State your conclusion in terms of the problem. 98. A 95% confidence interval for the mean price of textbooks at UCLA in the spring quarter of 2010, based on a random sample taken by statistician David Diez, was ($58.30,$86.14). Assuming that nothing else changed, what would have been the effect of on the confidence interval if the sample size had been smaller? Assume that the necessary conditions for finding the confidence interval hold, and pick the best answer. (a) The confidence interval would have been wider. (b) The confidence interval would have been narrower. (c) The confidence level would have been higher. (d) The confidence level would have been lower. (e) Answers a and c are both correct. (f) Answers b and d are both correct. 99. A 95% confidence interval for the mean price of textbooks at UCLA in the spring quarter of 2010, based on a random sample taken by statistician David Diez, was ($58.30,$86.14). To obtain this interval, he multiplied the standard error by 2.04, which was the value of t*. What would have been the effect if he had multiplied the standard error by 1.70 instead? Choose the best answer. (a) The confidence interval would have been wider. (b) The confidence interval would have been narrower. (c) The confidence level would have been higher. (d) The confidence level would have been lower. (e) Answers a and c are both correct. (f) Answers b and d are both correct.
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
