### Hypothesis Testing and The Rejection Region**Introduction:**A group of gemologists is interested in studying the average money spent on an engagement ring. In 2020, the average amount spent was $6,100. Due to the effects of COVID-19, the gemologists hypothesize that the average spending has increased in 2021. They decide to carry out a hypothesis test to explore this assumption.**Question:**If the gemologists carry out a hypothesis test, what value forms the rejection region? Select the single best answer choice from the options below:1. Alternative Hypothesis2. Critical Value3. Null Hypothesis*Choose the correct answer to understand the hypothesis testing process better and learn about the concept of the rejection region.*### Explanation:- **Null Hypothesis (H0):** A statement that there is no effect or no difference, and it represents the status quo. In this case, the null hypothesis might be that the average money spent in 2021 is still $6,100. - **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis. It suggests there is an effect or a difference. Here, the alternative hypothesis would be that the average amount spent in 2021 has increased compared to 2020. - **Critical Value:** A threshold value that defines the boundary for rejecting the null hypothesis. It is determined based on the significance level (α) chosen for the test (commonly 0.05). This value forms the "rejection region."**Answer:**The **critical value** forms the rejection region. If the test statistic falls into this region, the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.Understanding these concepts is crucial for interpreting the results of hypothesis tests and making informed conclusions based on statistical evidence.

We know that, null hypothesis is hypothesis of no difference. The hypothesis which is stated against…

Among 2178 passenger cars in a particular region, 244 had only rear license plates. Among 356 commercial trucks, 48 had only rear license plates. A reasonable hypothesis is that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars. Use a 0.01 significance level to test that hypothesis. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. OD. Fail to reject Ho.

Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, and then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Among 2000 passenger cars in a particular�� region, 215 had only rear license plates. Among 375 commercial trucks, 52 had only rear license plates. A reasonable hypothesis is that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars. Use a 0.01 significance level to test that hypothesis. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

Fil 10. A small pilot study is conducted to investigate the effect of a nutritional supplement on total body weight. Six participants agree to take the nutritional supplement. To assess its effect on body weight, weights are measured before starting the supplementation and then after 6 weeks. The data are shown below. Is there a significant increase in body weight following supplementation? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Demonstrate the five steps for hypothesis testing and explain your results.

4. 0 There is some indication that as countries' levels of literacy increases, authoritarian tendencies decline among the population. The following data show literacy (measured in number of literate people per 10 people) and authoritarian scores on a standard authoritarinaism- measuring scale from 8 countries. The data are: Xiiteracy : 9.2, 7.5, 8.8, 6.5, 4.3, 5.9, 9.7, 8.5 XAuth: 2.1, 3.4, 2.5, 7.3, 8.9, 5.7, 1.3, 2.5 Is there a reliable relationship between the two variables?
