An agricultural researcher claims that the new breed of layers chickens lay an average of 750 eggs during their lifetime. An interested farmer wishes to test this claim at 10% significance level. Which ONE of the following statements is CORRECT? 1. If Z-critical - 1.645 and Z-stat =-1.75, the null hypothesis is rejected. 2. If Z-critical = ±1 645 and Z-stat --1.75, do not reject the null hypothesis. TO 3. The agricultural researcher's claim is probably true. 4. If Z-critical=t1.645 and Z-stat -1.75, Z-stat lies in the acceptance region. 5. This is an example of the upper tail test.

The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.7 auto accidents per day with a variance of 0.0025 . The actuaries of the company claim that the variance of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.0025. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test. H0 : ? H1 : ?
Data provided by the National Association of College Employers indicated that the average starting salary for graduates with a Bachelors Degree in Accounting was $37,000 in 2008. In June 2010 a sample of 48 graduating accounting majors provided a sample average starting salary of $38,100, with a sample standard deviation of $5200. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if it can be assumed that accounting graduates in 2010 had higher average salaries than graduates in 2008, using α = .05.
Can I use CRONBACH’S ALPHA in testing the reliability of the device? How?
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain company are approximately normally distributed. The company announced that the mean breaking strength is 2140 pounds with a variance of 32,761. A consumer protection agency claims that the actual variance is higher. Suppose that the consumer agency wants to carry out a hypothesis test to see if its claim can be supported. State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁ they would use for this test. Ho: H₁: 0 μ OSO 0=0 X X Р ☐#0 S O0 020
A researcher expects a treatment to produce an increase in the population mean. The treatment is evaluated using a one tailed hypothesis test, and the test produces z = -1.85. Based on this result, what is the correct statistical decision? O The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with either a = .05 or α = .01. O The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with a = .05 but not with α = .01. O cannot answer without additional information O The researcher should fail to reject Ho with either a = .05 or α = .01.
Prior to an intensive TV advertising campaign, the producers of Nike athletic shoes find that 29 of a random sample of 200 upper-income adults are aware of their new leisure shoe line. A second random sample of 300 such adults is taken after the campaign. Now 96 of the persons sampled can identify the new line. Is the increase in the proportion of upper income adults showing brand awareness significant? Test the claim using alpha = .05.
Suppose that the average trip time from Oak Park to UIC on the Blue line is 25 minutes and that the standard deviation of the population is 16 minutes (sigma=16). We are interested to know whether the average trip time on Thursdays is shorter. We study a sample of 49 trips on Thursdays and the average is 24.25 minutes. Execute a hypothesis test at alpha=10% that the average trip time on Thursdays is shorter (that is, that it requires a smaller number of minutes). State Ho, Ha, calculate the appropriate statistic, p-value, state whether you reject Ho vs. not and state your conclusion in plain English. What is the largest number of minutes that will allow you to reject Ho? What is the probability that you will reject Ho if mu is actually 24 minutes? Fill in the probabilities in the table below. Also indicate alpha, beta and power. What test concludes Ho is true in population Ho not true in population Reject Ho Not reject Ho
An experimental study examined whether method of daily announcement affects worker productivity. A factory with two facilities with similar worker productivity percentages participated in the study. One facility delivered daily announcements all day on a screen located in the break room. Worker productivity percentages were compared between the two facilities. What is the independent variable? what is the dependent variable? What is the null hypothesis? what is the alternative/research hypothesis? If they reported t(25=1.95 and it is two-tailed, using the critical value, what is tcv? what should the researcher conclude about the null hypothesis? (reject/fail to reject)
700 doctors went through extra training compared to 1200 doctors who did not. Of the doctors who went through extra training, 125 of them majored in psychology. Of the 1200 doctors who did not do extra training, 174 of them majored in psychology. Perform a hypothesis test to see if there is a statistically significant evidence that the proportion of doctors who went through extra training is significantly greater than the proportion of doctors who did not. Perform the test at the alpha = .5 level. What is the p value and conclusion of this test?
Suppose it has previously been claimed that the proportion of adults in a certain city that have a university degree is 0.41, and suppose we wish to carry out a test of the null hypothesis that this is the true proportion. In a random sample of 1400 adults in this city, 587 have a university degree. What is the value of the appropriate Z test statistic? (Give your numeric response to at least 3 decimal places. Give only your numeric response, and not any extra characters or symbols. If the value is negative, include the negative sign)
In a sample of 950 adults, it is found that 48% are registered to vote in their state . Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that less than 50% of all adults are registered to vote for their state. a. Find the test statstic b. Find the Critical value c. Find the p- value d. What is the consclusion about the null hypothesis? e. What is the final conclusion in nontechnical terms? ( use the z table )
