You are thinking about opening a restaurant and are searching for a good location. From research you have done, you know that the mean income of those living near the restaurant must be over $85,000 to support the type of upscale restaurant you wish to open. You decide to take a simple random sample of 50 people living near one potential location. Based on the mean income of this sample, you will perform a test of Ho : μ = $85,000 Haμ> $85,000 where is the true mean income in the population of people who live near the restaurant. Which of the following is not true regarding Type I and Type II errors in this setting? All of these statements are true. A possible consequence of a Type I error here is you may open your restaurant in a location where the residents will not be able to support it, so your restaurant may go out of business. A Type I error occurs when you find convincing evidence that the mean income of all residents near the restaurant exceeds $85,000 when in reality it does…
Hyperhidrosis is a stressful medical condition characterized by chronic excessive sweating. Botox was approved for treatment of hyperhidrosis in adults in 2004. A clinical trial examined the effectiveness of Botox for excessive armpit sweating in teenagers aged 12 to 17 years. Participants received either a Botox injection or a placebo injection (a simple saline solution) and were examined four weeks later to see if their sweating had been reduced. Here are the study's findings: Botox Placebo Total Reduced Confidence Interval: 72 52 124 Not Reduced 28 We are 95% confident that there is hyperhidrosis who experienced a reduction in sweating. 148 176 Total 100 200 - Construct a 95% confidence interval for p₁ - P2 where p₁ denotes the proportion of teenagers who experienced a reduction in sweating in the Botox group and p2 denotes the proportion of teenagers who experienced a reduction in sweating in the placebo group. Round your answers to three decimal places, and use four decimal places…
.Researchers are testing the breaking strength of a new brand of rope using a large sample of ropes. In a test of Ho: p=0.80 versus Ha: p>0.80, where p is the true proportion of all ropes of this brand that would break when subjected to a weight of 1000 pounds, the test statistic is z = 1.45. Which of the following is true? (A) Ho is rejected at the 5% level, but not at the 10% level of significance. (B) Ho is rejected at the 10% level, but not at the 5% level of significance. (C) Ho is rejected at both the 5% and 10% level of significance. (D) Ho is not rejected at both the 5% and 10% level of significance. (E) Ho is not rejected at any level of significance.

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
