### Hypothesis Testing for Mean Salary Offer for Accounting GraduatesA report states that the mean yearly salary offer for students graduating with a degree in accounting is $48,722. Suppose that a random sample of 50 accounting graduates at a large university who received job offers resulted in a mean offer of $49,870 and a standard deviation of $3900. Do the sample data provide strong support for the claim that the mean salary offer for accounting graduates of this university is higher than the national average of $48,722?#### HypothesesLet's define our null and alternative hypotheses:- **Null Hypothesis (H0):** The mean salary offer for accounting graduates from the university ($\mu$) is equal to the national average ($48,722).\[H_0: \mu = 48722\]- **Alternative Hypothesis (Ha):** The mean salary offer for accounting graduates from the university ($\mu$) is higher than the national average ($48,722).\[H_a: \mu > 48722\]#### Significance Level (α)Typically, the significance level (α) will be set before conducting the test and commonly used values are 0.05, 0.01, or 0.10.\[\alpha = \_\_\_\_\]#### P-value CalculationThe p-value helps us determine the significance of our results. Generally, statistical software or tables are used to find this value based on the test statistic calculated from the sample data.\[\text{P-value} = \_\_\_\_\]#### ConclusionBased on the p-value and the selected significance level (α), we decide whether to reject the null hypothesis.\[\text{Based on the above, we choose to} \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\]_Please fill in the blanks with the correct symbol and value for Ha, the chosen significance level, and the calculated p-value. Select the appropriate decision (reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis) based on your comparison of the p-value and significance level._#### Additional Explanation:If a diagram or graph was provided, we'd explain it here, detailing what each axis represents, what the data trends show, etc. However, in this case, there are no graphs or diagrams to elaborate on.

A student researcher compares the heights of American students and non-American students from the student body of a certain college in order to estimate the difference in their mean heights. A random sample of 1212 American students had a mean height of 68.468.4 inches with a standard deviation of 2.462.46 inches. A random sample of 1717 non-American students had a mean height of 65.165.1 inches with a standard deviation of 2.962.96 inches. Determine the 98%98% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean height of the American students and the mean height of the non-American students. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Step 2 of 3: Find the margin of error to be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to six decimal places.
The mean alkalinity level of water specimens collected from the Han River in Seoul, Korea, is 50 milligrams per liter. (Environmental Science & Engineering, September 1, 2000.) Consider a random sample of 100 water specimens collected from a tributary of the Han River. Suppose the mean and standard deviation of the alkalinity levels for the sample are Xbar= 67.8 mg/L and s = 14.4 mg/L. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that the population mean alkalinity level of water in the tributary exceeds 50 mg/L? Use significance level 0.05 a. State the null and alternate hypothesis b. Calculate the test statistic c. Calculate the p-value d. Do you reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis. e. Write your conclusion
Lake Quanipaug in Connecticut is famous for its yellow perch. Studies have found that the national mean length is µ = 8.2 inches. However, a random sample of 31 fish caught during Memorial weekend at Lake Quanipaug, had a sample mean of x̄=7.1 inches, with an estimated sample standard deviation of s = 3.8 inches. Do these current data indicate that the average length of the yellow caught at Lake Quanipaug is less than historical µ = 8.2 inches? Use α = .02. State α, Ho, H1, p-value, rejection, or non-rejection, and be certain to interpret your results.

An educational consulting group claims that there is a difference in the mean student loan debt of students who attended private four-year colleges and the mean student loan debt of students who attended out-of-state public four-year colleges. Student loan debt of 10 randomly selected students who attended private four-year colleges and 10 randomly selected students who attended out-of-state public four-year colleges, at the time of graduating college, are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of student loan debt is $5,000 for both the private college attendees and the public college attendees, and assume that the distribution of student loan debt is normally distributed for both the private college attendees and the public college attendees. Let the students who attended private four-year colleges be the first sample, and let the students who attended out-of-state public four-year colleges be the second sample. The group conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the…
