How much customers buy is a direct result of how much time they spend in the store. A study of average shopping times in a large national houseware store gave the following information (Source: Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping by P. Underhill). Women with female companion: 8.3 min.Women with male companion: 4.5 min. Suppose you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim that a woman with a female friend spends an average of 8.3 minutes shopping in such a store. (a) What would you use for the null and alternate hypotheses if you believe the average shopping time is less than 8.3 minutes? Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? ≠ 8.3Ho: ? < 8.3; H1: ? = 8.3 Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? < 8.3Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? > 8.3 Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test? right-tailedtwo-tailed left-tailed (b) What would you use for the null and alternate hypotheses if you believe the average shopping time is different from 8.3 minutes?

On occasion, medical studies need to model the proportion of the population that has a disease and compare that to observed frequencies of the disease actually occurring. Suppose the end-stage renal failure in south-west Wales was collected for different age groups. Do the data in the table show that the observed frequencies are in agreement with proportion of people in each age group? Test at the 1% level. Renal Failure Frequencies Age group 16-29 30-44 45-59 60-74 75+ Total Observed Frequencies 125 152 134 124 48 583 Expected Proportion 0.23 0.25 0.22 0.21 0.09 State the hypotheses.H0: The observed frequencies in agreement with proportion of people in each age group.Ha: The observed frequencies in agreement with proportion of people in each age group.
