Cite three (3) situations in your community where you can apply hypothesis testing. Then, just choose one situation and: 1. create a problem statement; 2. formulate the null and alternative hypothesis; 3. select the level of significance and sketch the rejection region; and 4. state the possible Type I and Type II errors.

Conduct a hypothesis testA research center claims that less than 50% of senior high school students in public schools in the Philippines have accessed the Internet using cellular phones. In a random sample of 100 SHS students, 39% say they have accessed the Internet using cellular phones. At = 0.01, is there enough evidence to support the researcher’s claim?
High School Band - In most US high schools, students can play an instrument in three types of bands. A random sample of high school band students was taken and the results are summarized in the table below. Instrument type Band Woodwind Brass Percussion type Concert 31 25 8 Jazz 10 16 10 Marching 65 65 27 To assess whether there is a relationship between band type and instrument type, we conduct an appropriate hypothesis test. What is the p-value for this hypothesis test? Give your answer to 4 decimal places. Your Answer:
(c) Calculate the test statistic. d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Then interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
A researchers claims 45% of couples have children. They conduct a hypothesis test and reject the null hypothesis. What type of error could have been committed here? Type 1, type 2, or power if the test?
To test the effectiveness of a business school preparation course, 8 students took a general business test before and after the course. The results are given below. Student Exam Score Before the Course Exam Score After the Course 1 720 700 2 740 770 3 900 950 4 700 710 5 500 580 6 840 900 7 820 840 8 640 650 Use an appropriate hypothesis test, at 0.05 level of significance, to determine whether there is evidence of a difference between before and after scores of the students. What assumption is necessary to perform the hypothesis test in (a)? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean difference in before and after scores. Interpret the interval. What is your decision based on this confidence interval estimate?
For the given hypothesis test, explain the meaning of the kind of error, as requested. A statistics student has heard that about 25% of the students on his campus attend sporting events weekly. He wants to know if statistics students attend events in the same proportions as the general student body. Explain what the second type of error would be in this case (where the student fails to reject a null hypothesis that is actually false). O A. The second kind of error would be saying that statistics students attend sporting events in much higher proportions than the student body as a whole, even though they actually have the same attendence proportion. B. The second kind of error would be saying that there is no difference in the attendence of statistics students and the student body as a whole at sporting events, even though there really is. O C. The second kind of error would be saying that there is no difference in the attendence of statistics students and the student body as a whole at…

2. Use the following scenario to conduct a hypothesis test. Then use that to answer questions a- g. You would like to determine if the use of a new teaching intervention helps to improve attention in 5- year-old boys. To test this hypothesis, you have separated 35 5-year-old boys into two groups, one with the intervention (treatment group) and the other given normal class time (the control group). You would like to test if the treatment group had longer attention times (in minutes) than the control group. (The significance level of the test is .05) The following are the data for the two groups: Control Group (Group 1) 7 11 6 6 8. 11 14 7 8. 2 Treatment Group (Group 2) 11 12 14 16 18 14 11 8 7 10 11 Answer the following questions to run the hypothesis test. You should use the notation and methods described in the course: a. What test should you run? b. What is the null hypothesis in sentences and symbols? c. What is the alternative hypothesis in sentences and symbols? d. What is the…
7. You have seen this question before. Human volunteers were asked to try five types of meat products. One of these was dog food; the others were various types of pâté. The volunteers were asked which of the five was their favorite. Two out of 18 volunteers chose the dog food. Is there evidence that people prefer human food over dog food? Show all four steps of hypothesis testing.
A student majoring in Management who has passed the Business Statistics course suspects that the average price of lunch at the canteen has increased during the pandemic. Before the pandemic, the price for lunch he paid was $21, $22, $22.50, $23, $23.50. After the pandemic, he paid $25, $25.50, $30, $27, and $26.50. a) Perform a hypothesis test analysis to find out whether there has been an average increase in the price of lunch (Use six Hypothesis Testing Steps) ! b) Interpret (and explain) the results of point a above!
