According to the US Department of Agriculture, the average egg in a carton of 12 eggs weighs around 2 oz. You have a suspicion that a particular producer sells eggs of inferior caliber (lower weight). (a) µ represents the population mean eggs. (b) State the hypotheses (Ho & Ha) for a test to verify your belief. (c) State what the parameter u in your hypotheses is.

The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.

In 1992 a national vital statistics report indicated that about 2.3% of all births produced twins. Is the rate of twin births th same among very young mothers? Data from a large city hospital found only 7 sets of twins were born to 455 teenage girls. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure the appropriate assumptions and conditions are satisfied before you proceed. MA: P >0.023 B. Ho: p=0.023 HA: P = 0.023 OC. Ho: p=0.023 HA: P<0.023 OD. The assumptions and conditions are not met, so the test cannot proceed. Determine the z-test statistic. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. z = -1.08 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) B. The assumptions and conditions are not met, so the test cannot proceed. Find the P-value. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. OA.

Researchers were interested in assessing whether stress levels are different at the beginning of the semester compared to finals week. To test this, stress was measured in 5 students at the start of the semester and then again at the end of the semester during finals week. Participant Stress 1 Stress 2 1 22 22 2 32 34 3 24 25 4 28 30 5 26 29 Then H0: μ2 - μ1 ≠ 0, true or false?
You are thinking about opening a restaurant and are searching for a good location. From research you have done, you know that the mean income of those living near the restaurant must be over $85,000 to support the type of upscale restaurant you wish to open. You decide to take a simple random sample of 50 people living near one potential location. Based on the mean income of this sample, you will perform a test of Ho : μ = $85,000 Haμ> $85,000 where is the true mean income in the population of people who live near the restaurant. Which of the following is not true regarding Type I and Type II errors in this setting? All of these statements are true. A possible consequence of a Type I error here is you may open your restaurant in a location where the residents will not be able to support it, so your restaurant may go out of business. A Type I error occurs when you find convincing evidence that the mean income of all residents near the restaurant exceeds $85,000 when in reality it does…
What is H0? And why do we evaluate it instead of the scientific hypothesis?
In their advertisements, a new diet program would like to claim that their methods result in a mean weight loss of more than ten pounds in two weeks. In order to determine if this is a valid claim, they hire an independent testing agency that then selects twenty-five people to be placed on this diet. Which of the following is the correct hypotheses? a Ho: μ- 10 Ha: μ > 10 Ho: u > 10 Ha: u = 10 Ho: U = 10 Ha: u < 10 O d Ho: p = 10 Ha: u+ 10
while estimates vary, one website indicated that approximately 44% of US citizens have type O blood. A statistics class tested this claim by having students identify their blood types. In a sample of 64 students, 26 indicated their blood type to be type O. At a=.01, test that the percentage of US citizens with type O blood is less than 44%. The hypotheses for this situation are:
A study conducted to see if teenagers drive at faster average speeds than the general population of drivers. The average speed of the driving population is 45mph. The null hypothesis is Ho=uaverage driving speed of teenagers = 45 mph. What is the alternative hypothesis?
Answers: 1.a) rXY = 0.461, t = 1.272, Do not reject H0: no evidence for a significant correlation between the two variables b) 43.66
A large cookie company claims the average amount of sodium per cookie is 200 mg. You suspect that the sodium content is different than that, so you take a random sample of 36 cookies and research the nutritional content. You then conduct a hypothesis test that μ = 200 vs. the alternative that μ ≠ 200. (a) The standardized test statistic for your sample is 2.7. The P-value would then be: A) 0.9965 B) 0.4983 C) 0.0070 D) 0.0035 Selection: (b) Which would be the correct decision for your hypothesis test? A) Reject H0 B) Do not reject H0 Selection: (c) A Type I Error in this situation would be: A) Concluding that μ ≠ 200 when in fact μ = 200 is true. B) Concluding that μ = 200 when in fact μ ≠ 200 is true. C) Concluding that μ = 200 when in fact μ = 200 is true. D) Concluding that μ ≠ 200 when in fact μ ≠ 200 is true. Selection:
Your local gas company is interested in estimating the average usage during the month of January. A random sample of 1280 households found the following results: X= 82 therms and s=28 therms. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if the average amount exceeds 80 therms. Use a=0.02.
2. Two kinds of bumper guards, six of each kind, were mounted on a certain make of compact car. Each car was then run into a concrete wall at 5 miles per hour and the costs of repairs (in dollars) was recorded. Summary of the data is shown below. n = 6 i = 144 si = 363.20 n =6 i = 149 si = 202.00 Test at the 0.02 level of significance whether it is reasonable to assume that the two populations sampled have equal variances.
