An oil brand claims that the average mileage with one gallon of their gasoline is 25mi. You recorded the mileage of 10 independent cars with a gallon of said gasoline and obtained an average of 23.7mi. You want to determine if this is enough evidence to say that the brand is overestimating. Given a critical value of t = 0.822 and a significance level of 0.10, should we reject the H0?

In the population of senior students at Shermer High School, the proportion who plan to attend college is 0.64. In a random sample of 100 students from this population, the proportion who plan to attend college is 0.75. We would call the value 0.64 a P-value. z-score. parameter statistic significance level.
Suppose you will perform a test to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between two variables. Find the critical values of r given the number of pairs of data n and the significance level α. n = 19, α = 0.05 Group of answer choices r = ±0.575 r = 0.468 r = 0.456 r = ±0.456
A dietician wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will change if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Six randomly selected subjects were pretested, and then they took the mineral supplement of a 6 week period. The results are shown in the table below. Can it be concluded that the cholesterol level has changed at a significance level of 0.10? Use the P-value method with your calculator. Assume the variable is approximately normally distributed. You can use your calculator to answer this question but make sure that you clearly write the statements for the null and alternative hypothesis. Be sure that you thoroughly explain your final conclusion using the P-value method. Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 Before 210 235 208 190 172 244 After 190 170 210 188 173 228
Listed below are the overhead widths (in cm) of seals measured from photographs and the weights of the seals (in kg). The purpose of the study was to determine if weights of seals could be determined from overhead photographs. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between overhead widths and the weights of the seals? Use a significance level of α=0.05. a. Determine rs. rs= (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Determine the critical values. Critical values are (Round to three decimal places as needed.

The old variety of a plant has 70% pink flowers. A new variety is developed. In a random sample of 93 plants from the new variety, 59 had pink flowers. Test the claim that the percent of plants with pink flowers for the new variety is different than 70%. Use a 0.10 level of significance. Question 6 options: DO NOT Reject H0 Using a 0.10 level of significance there is not evidence to say the proportion of pink flowers is different than 0.70 Reject H0 Using a 0.10 level of significance there is evidence to say the proportion of pink flowers is not different than 0.70
Suppose you had obtained a test statistic of 2.45 (this is incorrect). What would the P-value be? Draw a conclusion based on a = 0.01. Select one: O a. 0.01 < P-value < 0.02, we fail to reject Ho and do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean difference in LDL from switching from an omnivorous to a plant-based diet for 6 weeks is not the same for men and women. O b. 0.005 < P-value < 0.01, we fail to reject Ho and do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean difference in LDL from switching from an omnivorous to a plant-based diet for 6 weeks is not the same for men and women.

It has been estimated that the 1991 G-car obtains a mean of 35 miles per gallon on the highway, and the company that manufactures the car claims that it exceeds the estimate in highway driving. To support its assertion, the company randomly selects 49 1991 G-cars and records the mileage obtained for each car over a driving course similar to that used to obtain the estimate. The following data resulted: x = 36.5 miles per gallon, s = 7 miles per gallon. %3D a. Find the observed significance level for testing Ho: u= 35 vs. Ha: u> 35. %3D b. For what value of significance level a, you will reject the null hypothesis.
