A researcher is testing a hypothesis of a single mean. The critical z value for α = .05 in a two-tailed test is +1.96. The observed z value from sample data is -1.85. The decision made by the researcher based on this information is to _____ the null hypothesis.

In a survey, 38% of the respondents stated that they talk to their pets on the telephone. A veterinarian believed this result to be too high, so she randomly selected 240 pet owners and discovered that 89 of them spoke to their pet on the telephone. Does the veterinarian have a right to be skeptical? Use the α=0.1 level of significance.
26-35. An admission test was administered to incoming freshmen for the STEM and ABM with 100 students randomly selected from each strand. The mean scores of the given samples were 90 and 85 and the variances of the test scores were 40 and 35, respectively. Is there a significant difference between the two groups? Use the 95% confidence level. a. Hypotheses b. Alpha c. Degrees of Freedom (write NA if there's none) d. Critical Value e. Computed Statistics f. Decision and Conclusion
A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 52 men and 73 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Which of the following is correct? OC. Hgi H1 =H2i H H2 (b) Identify the P-value and state the researcher's conclusion if the level of significance was a = 0.02. What is the P-value? P.value =

A study of parental empathy for sensitivity cues and baby temperament (higher scores mean more empathy) was performed. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the score of a mother on an empathy test (as regards her baby). Let x2 be the empathy score of a father. A random sample of 40 mothers gave a sample mean of x1 = 68.36. Another random sample of 36 fathers gave x2 = 57.34. Assume that ?1 = 11.83 and ?2 = 11.72. (a)Let ?1 be the population mean of x1 and let ?2 be the population mean of x2. Find a 99% confidence interval for ?1 – ?2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit=__ upper limit=__
Suppose that 65% of people who enter a store will make a purchase. Random samples of people who walk into a particular store is studied, and the proportion of those who made a purchase is found for each sample. Assume that all the samples were the same size. If 34.09% of all sample proportions are less than 0.5967. What was the z-score for 0.5967? What is op ? z=score for 0.5967 = Oy =
Researchers studying two populations of wolves conducted a two-sample t-test for the difference in means to investigate whether the mean weight of the wolves in one population was different from the mean weight of the wolves in the other population. All conditions for inference were met, and the test produced a test statistic of t=2.771 and a p-value of 0.01. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the p-value? Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are equal, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 or less than −2.771 is 0.01. A Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are equal, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 is 0.01. B Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are different, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 or less than −2.771 is 0.01. C Assuming that the mean…
The coach of a very popular men’s basketball team claims that the average distance the fans travel to the campus to watch a game is 35 miles. The team members feel otherwise. A sample of 16 fans who travel to games was randomly selected and yielded a mean of M= 36 miles and s= 5 miles. Test the coach’s claim at the 5% (.05) level of significance. one-tailed or two-tailed test: State the hypotheses: df= tα or t value for the critical region = sM = t (test statistic)= Decision:
Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
A researcher intends to estimate the effect of a drug on the scores of human subjects performing a task of psychomotor coordination. The members of a random sample of 9 subjects were given the drug prior to testing. The mean score in this group was 9.07, and the sample variance was 17.68. An independent random sample of 10 subjects was used as a control group and given a placebo prior to testing. The mean score in this control group was 15.21, and the sample variance was 27.48. Assuming that the population distributions are normal with equal variances, find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the population mean scores The confidence interval is<, -,O (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test can be used to perform a hypothesis test for a population median, η, as well as for a population mean, µ. Why is that so?
