A statistics student conducts a t-test for difference in means to decide whether there is a significant difference in test scores between her Fall semester course and her Spring semester course. The t-test value she calculated was t = 3.15. She compared this to the t-critical value of 1.98. Does she reject or not reject her null hypothesis? Reject Do not reject

In 2008, the population of part-time college students was 60% female. We are curious if the proportion has decreased this year. We test the hypotheses: H0: p=0.60 and Ha: p<0.60, where p is the proportion of part-time college students that are female this year. Which of the following p-hat values will give the smallest p-value? a. 14/25=0.56 b. 12/25=0.48 c. 10/25= 0.40
A test of Ho: p = 0.5 versus Ha: p > 0.5 has a test statistic of z = 2.19. What is the P-value for the test? If the alternative hypothesis were Ha: p ≠≠0.5, what would be the value of the P-value?
A marketing manager fora cell phone company claims that the percentage of children aged 8-12 who have cell phones differs from 61%. In a survey of 826 children aged 8-12 by a national consumers group, 545 of them had cell phones. Can you conclude that the managers claim is true? Use the a = 0.10 level of significance and the p value method with the ti 84 plus calculator. Compute the p value. Round the answers to at least four decimal places.
Last year 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicated that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. For hypothesis: H0: p >= .46 ; Ha:p < .46 , compute the P-value that could be used to determine whether the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from last year.
Suppose are running a study/poll about the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined. You randomly sample 102 people and find that 87 of them match the condition you are testing. Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running: Ho:p = 0.86 Ha:p < 0.86 Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places.

In a sample of 202 men, 77 said they used seat belts. In a sample of 311 women, 84 said they used seat belts. Test the claim that men are more safety conscious than women, at a=0.01?
You take a survey that is supposed to measure whether you are an extrovert or not. The score you get on the extrovert survey is a z-score of 2.0. What does that mean about your level of extraversion compared to the average score?
A financial analyst of Woolworths is interested in the average number of months that it takes customers to pay off their account debt. He claims that the average number of months it takes is less than four. He takes a sample of fifty customers and records the number of months it takes each customer to pay off his debt. Suppose that the test statistic value to test this claim is calculated as -0.34, determine the p-value.
Molly works for a meat producer, and she needs to determine whether containers of ground beef have the correct fat content. She obtains a random sample of 120 containers of ground beef and finds that 84 percent have the correct fat content. Molly then conducts a hypothesis test of H0:p=0.80H0:p=0.80 versus Ha:p≠0.80Ha:p≠0.80 and calculates a test statistic of 1.10 with a pp-value of 0.273. Which of the following best represents the meaning of the pp-value? If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of 0.80 is 0.273. A If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of at least 0.04 less than 0.84 is 0.273. B If the population proportion is 0.80, the probability of observing a sample proportion within 0.04 of 0.80 is 0.273. C If the population proportion is 0.80, the probability of observing a sample proportion at least 0.04 greater than 0.80 is 0.273. D If the…
A survey by Men’s Health magazine stated that 14% of men said they used exercise to reduce stress. Could this be valid, or is it actually less than what the magazine claims? A random sample of 100 men was selected, and 10 said that they used exercise to relieve stress. If a=0.10, test a hypothesis and state your conclusion in context.
When using an independent samples t-test, the author of a journal article reported that t(30) = 3.60, p < .05. Should the researcher reject the null or fail to reject the null?
A researcher selects a sample and administers a treatment for anxiety to the individuals in the sample. If the sample is used for a hypothesis test, what does the null hypothesis (Ho) put forth about the treatment? O The treatment has an effect on anxiety. O The treatment divides each anxiety score by a constant. O The treatment multiplies each anxiety score by a constant. The treatment has no effect on anxiety.
