In studying the responses to questions on a multiple-choice test, the following sample data are obtained. At the a 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the responses occur with the same frequency. Ho: The responses to the questions occur with the same frequency.

What is the X2 test-statistic for this data? Round to four decimal places. x²= b. What is the p-value? Round to four decimal places. p-value= c. What would be the conclusion of this hypothesis test? O Fail to reject the hull hypothesis. Reject the null hypothesis. d. What is the final conclusion? O There is sufficient evidence to conclude the test question responses occur with the same frequency. There is sufficient evidence to conclude the test question responses do not occur with the same frequency. O There is not sufficient evidence to…
Q: An online bookseller is considering selling an e-reader but will do so only if they have evidence that the proportion of customers who will likely purchase one is more than 0.4. Of a survey of 25 customers, 8 of them stated that they would likely purchase an e-reader. What should the bookseller do? Use a 5% significance level.
A survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow. Age Group Hours of Sleep 39 or younger 40 or older Fewer than 6 38 36 6 to 6.9 60 57 7 to 7.9 76 74 8 or more 66 93 (a) Conduct a test of independence to determine whether hours of sleep are independent of age. (b) What is your estimate of the percentages of individuals who sleep fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more per night?

Median household income in a particular county is $46,250. A researcher is interested to see whether students at the county community college have a median household income lower than the county overalI. She selects 15 students at random and determines that 12 have a household income below the county median, one has an income equal to the county median, and two have a household income above the county median. She wishes to conduct her test using the 0.05 significance level. What is the decision rule? Multiple Choice Reject Ho if the number above the median is <3 or 28. Reject Ho if the number above the median is <3. Reject Ho if the number above the median is <2 or 210. Reject Ho if the number above the median is <2.
4. In the past, 44% of those taking a CPA qualifying exam pass the exam on their first try. With the many preparatory classes and online tutorials, the success rate of first time test takers may have increased. A random sample of 250 test takers found 52% that had passed on their first attempt. A. Has the success rate of first time takers of the exam improved? Test using a .01 level of significance. B. Based on your decision in part A, what type of error might you have made, and give a potential consequence if this error were to occur.

The College Board SAT college entrance exam consists of three parts: math, writing and critical reading (The World Almanac 2012). Sample data showing the math and writing scores for a sample of twelve students who took the SAT follow. Math Score Writing Score 540 474 432 380 528 463 574 612 448 420 502 526 480 430 499 459 610 615 572 541 390 335 593 613 Use a 0.5 level of significance and test for a difference between the population mean for the math scores and the population mean for the writing scores. What is the point estimate of the difference between the mean scores for the two tests? What are the estimates of the population mean scores for the two tests?
Using 1% for the significance level, find the conclusion of this hypothesis testing in words using the p-value approach. Follow the questions below. 1) State the p-value and interpret the p-value in words. 2) Using the significance level and the p-value, state the conclusion of this hypothesis testing.
California Department of Education deems a student to be prepared for college if she scores higher than a certain score on the SAT A survey was conducted looking at 651 students' SAT scores and it was found that 573 students were considered to be prepared for college. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of students prepared for college is equal to 80%. Claim: Select an answer v which corresponds to Select an answer v Opposite: Select an answer v which corresponds to Select an answer v The test is: Select an answer v The test statistic is: (to 2 decimals) The p-value is: (to 4 decimals) Based on this we: Select an answer Conclusion There Select an answer v appear to be enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of students prepared for college is equal to 80%.
