Assume that you read an article claiming that the average IQ level of Turkish people is 88. You thought that the reported level is too low for Turkish people and wanted to test it yourself. You design an experiment to test your hypothesis for the average IQ level of Turkish people. Assume that you sampled n= 20 people and the resulting average IQ for sample turned out to be 92 with a sample variance of 12. a) List your null and alternative hypothesis explicitly and test your claim at 95% confidence level. What would be your conclusion based on your sample? b) Assume that the article is in fact correct. What are the Type-1 and Type-2 errors for your analysis in part a.

A USA Today article claims that the proportion of people who believe global warming is a serious issue is 0.63, but given the number of people you've talked to about this same issue, you believe it is less than 0.63. The hypotheses for this test are Null Hypothesis: p ≥ 0.63, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.63. If you randomly sample 20 people and 12 of them believe that global warming is a serious issue, what is your test statistic and p-value? Question 3 options: 1) Test Statistic: 0.278, P-Value: 0.391 2) Test Statistic: 0.278, P-Value: 0.609 3) Test Statistic: -0.278, P-Value: 0.782 4) Test Statistic: -0.278, P-Value: 0.391 5) Test Statistic: -0.278, P-Value: 0.609
If we have a sample of size 100 with sample mean breaking strength of 975 pounds from a population of rope with standard deviation 200 pounds and we wish to run a hypothesis test with this data to see if the population mean breaking strength differs from 1000 pounds, what is the P-value of our data?
For all hypothesis testing, you must use the five-step method. You are told that the population mean for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) for Canadian students is 429.You want to compare the population of UWO students with Canadian students as a whole with regard to LSAT scores. To find out, you take a random sample of 100 UWO students who have taken the test and find that the sample mean is 462. The population standard deviation is 81. Do UWO students score higher on the LSAT than students from Canada as a whole? You think they do. Use α = .05, and round to three places of the decimal. Interpret your results.
A UW Madison professor is interested in learning about the variance of grades for university students. The professor gathers the sample variance for a random sample of 50 students. From past experience, the professor knows that the population of students is normally distributed. The sample variance that is collected is equal to 80. The professor would like to infer at the 1% significance level that the population variance is less than 100? - State the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis. - What is the correct test statistic? - What is the conclusion of the test? - What would be the effect if the professor increased the sample size?
Based on information from a large insurance company, 66% of all damage liability claims are made by single people under the age of 25. A random sample of 51 claims showed that 43 were made by single people under the age of 25. Does this indicate that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company? Give the test statistic and your conclusion.
Although the samples are actually related, an investigator ignores this fact in the statistical analysis and uses a t test for two independent samples. How will this mistake affect the probability of a type II error?
Suppose a hypothesis test was performed with a level of significance of 0.05. Then if the null hypothesis is actually true, then there is a 5% chance that the researcher will end up rejecting the null hypothesis in error. True False
A quiz related to digital knowledge was conducted. The quiz had 10 questions and covered topics such as the purpose of browser cookies, phishing scams, and privacy policies. The survey was given to 50 people. The mean score is 4.1 with a standard deviation of 2.6. We want to know if the data provide evidence that the mean score in the population is lower than 5. We will use alpha = 0.05 to make our decision. What is the null hypothesis for this question? Group of answer choices a. The proportion of people who pass the test is 5. b. The mean test score of the population is 5. c. The mean test score of the 50 people who took the test is 5. d.The standard deviation is 2.6
Your friend Mona claims that the average student debt immediately after graduation in the United States is $30,000. You want to see if your university has lower student debt at graduation. To test this, you randomly collect data from 169 students who recently graduated. The average of your sample is $29,321, with a sample standard deviation of $6,257. Using this data to perform the hypothesis test with H0: mean=30,000 vs H0: mean<30,000. What is the p-value of this test, and what is the conclusion of this test at the alpha=0.10 level?
The general population (Population 2) has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 5, and the cutoff Z score for significance in a study involving one participant is 1.96. If the raw score obtained by the participant is 45, what decisions should be made about the null and research hypotheses?
You are interested in studying the average gestational length of pregnancies among African American women in the United States to see if it is different from the rest of the US population. The population mean for gestational length is 39 weeks with a standard deviation of 2 weeks. You take a simple random sample of 22 African American women that gave birth in the last year and find that their mean gestational length is is 38.5 weeks. If you decide to conduct a two-sided test with α = .05. What is the power of this test?
The College Board reports that the scores on the math SAT were normally distributed with a mean of 525. A random sample of 15 students at your high school had a mean of 550 and a sample standard deviation of 105. What values of the sample mean would lead to rejection of the null hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance?
