Consider a drug testing company that provides a test for marijuana usage. Among 299 tested subjects, results from 29 subjects were wrong (either a false positive or a false negative). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that less than 10 percent of the test results are wrong. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.

Samples of pages were randomly selected from three different novels. The Flesch Reading Ease scores were obtained from each page, and the TI-83/84 Plus calculator results from analysis of variance are given below. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the three books have the same mean Flesch Reading Ease score. i Click the icon to view the TI-83/84 Plus calculator results.

A two-tailed test is performed at the 0.10 level of significance. The p-value is determined to be 0.03. The null hypothesis O should not be rejected. has been designed incorrectly. O must be rejected. could be rejected, depending on the sample size.
An online poll asked: "Do you believe the Loch Ness monster exists?" Among 21,489 responses, 64% were "yes." Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that most people believe that the Loch Ness monster exists. How is the conclusion affected by the fact that Internet users who saw the question could decide whether to respond? Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
Consider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 6015 patients treated with this drug,165 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that 3% of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.

Many years ago, the M&M Mars Company claimed 0.3 of all M&Ms were red, 0.25 were green, 0.2 were brown, 0.15 were yellow, and the rest were orange. To test the company’s claim, you select a bag of M&Ms from the store shelf at random. If the calculated value for the associated test statistic equals 8.43279 and the level of significance equals 0.10 is the company claim resonable or unresonable
Consider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 6073 patients treated with this drug, 160 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 3% of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction? Find the test statistic and the P value
A publishing company has developed a study guide (reference book) for GRE Math test. They want to test if this reference book does help students perform better on the test. The company recruited a random sample of students who are planning to take this test and let them use the new reference book. Their scores are listed below. Test the null hypothesis that the students' mean score is not different from the national average (at a significance level of .05) by answering the following questions. The national statistics indicates that the average score for the population is 68.5. Scores: 70, 68, 93, 78, 73, 99, 81, 79, 61 (1) Set up hypotheses ( (2) What is the df and the critical value for this test? ( (3) What is the standard error for this test? (4) What is the t_observed for this test? ( (5) Provide the decision and the interpretation
A newsletter publisher believes that less than 36%36% of their readers own a laptop. For marketing purposes, a potential advertiser wants to confirm this claim. After performing a test at the 0.010.01 level of significance, the advertiser failed to reject the null hypothesis. What is the conclusion regarding the publisher's claim?
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, one restaurant had 32 orders that were not accurate among 353 orders observed. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to 10%. Does the accuracy rate appear to be acceptable? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below 1. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. 2. Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. 3.Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test. 4.Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test.
An economist is studying salaries for high technology companies and wants to test the claim that the average salary for high tech employees is less than $70,000. The economist selects a sample of 35 random employees from various high tech companies and records their salaries. Based on past studies, the economist determines that the population standard deviation is $8,500. The economist conducts a one-mean hypothesis test at the 5% significance level to test the claim that the average salary for high tech employees is less than $70,000. Which is the correct setup for the null and alternative hypothesis for this example? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ=70,000; Ha:μ<70,000, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ=70,000; Ha:μ>70,000, which is a right-tailed test H0:μ<70,000; Ha:μ=70,000, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ>70,000; Ha:μ=70,000, which is a left-tailed test.
