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.

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?
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.
In 1965, about 44% of the u.s. adult population had never smoked cigarettes. A national health survey of 1360 u.s adults(selected randomly) during 2020 revealed that 626 had never smoked cigarettes. Using a=0.05, test whether there has been a change since 1965 in the proportion of u.s. adults that have never smoked cigarettes. State the hypothesis, list and check the conditions, calculate the test statistic, find the p-value, and make a conclusion in a complete sentence related to the scenario
