A researcher conducts an experiment to evaluate a treatment that is expected to increase the scores for individuals in a population which is known to have a mean of 80. Which of the following is the correct statement of a directional null hypothesis for this scenario? a. H0: μ = 80 b. H0: μ > 80 c. H0: μ < 80 d. H0: μ ≤ 80

1. A health psychologist investigates the number of viral infections people contract as a function of the amount of psychological stress they experience during a one-year period. She wants to see if there are significant differences (at the significance level of 0.05) in the mean number of viral infections depending on the amount of stress. She obtained the following data (N=20): Negligible Stress 2 3 1 1 1 Minimal Stress 2 1 3 2 4 Moderate Stress 4 5 3 7 6 Severe Stress 7 5 9 6 8

The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 52 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 33 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.05. (a) level of significance: .05 | H0: p = 0.77; H1: p < 0.77 (b) The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Water samples are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is at most 150°F, there will be no negative effects on the river's ecosystem. To investigate whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150°, 50 water samples will be taken at randomly selected times and the temperature of each sample recorded. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses Ho: μ = 150° versus H₂: μ > 150°. In the context of this situation, describe type I error. a A type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is higher than the actual temperature. A type I error occurs when we say that the plant is not in compliance when in fact it is. A type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is lower than the actual temperature. A type I error occurs when we…

A study is done to determine if students in the California state university (CSU) system take longer to graduate, on average, than students enrolled in private universities using the significant level of 5%. One hundred students from both the California state university system and private universities are surveyed. Suppose that from years of research, it is known that the population standard deviations are 1.5811 years for CSU and 1 year for private universities. The following data are collected. The California state university system students took on average 4.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.8. The private university students took on average 4.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.3.
