.A tourist wants to make a trip to a small city and visit the crowded shopping center. The city's mayor claims less that 10% of its residents are non- vaccinated against a very serious infectious disease. He is deciding whether to make a trip to the city's shopping center, so performs a hypothesis test to determine whether the city's mayor claim is true. 1. Let represent the proportion of the residents who are non-vaccinated, write the null and alternative hypothesis. 2. When will type 1 error occur in this situation? 3. When will type Il error occur in this situation? 4. Which error is more serious and risky in this situation? EXPLAIN

A hypothesis test is conducted in order to determine the average weight of a Kit Kat bar.using the following null and alternative hypotheses: H0: The average weight of a Kit Kat bar is 1.5 ounces. HA: The average weight of a Kit Kat bar is greater than 1.5 ounces. Using complete sentences, explain what both a Type 1 and Type 2 error would be in context of this hypothesis test.
A plumber was interested in determining whether there is a significant difference in the price charged for plumbing tools by two hardware stores. The plumber selected five tools and recorded the price for each tool in each store. The following data was recorded: Store 1 2 Tool 2 R59.25 R22.50 R450 R44.25 R22.50 R36.75 R75 4 R480 R44.25 R60 Perform the appropriate test of hypothesis to determine whether there is a significant difference, on average, in the price of plumbing tools between the two stores, showing all 7 steps. Include both the rejection region and the p-value.
