Consider the inference that tests the null hypothesis H0 : β = c against H1 : β > c for some c > 0 at significance level α. Which of the following statement is FALSE? (a) The larger the significance level α, the less likely it is to reject the null hypothesis. (b) The a given estimate ˆb2, the larger the value c, the less likely it is to reject the null hypothesis. (c) The absolute value of test statistic increases the larger the difference between the estimate ˆb and the parameter c. (d) The Error of Type I is determined by the significance level alpha. (e) The larger the estimate ˆb2, the more likely it is to reject the null hypothesis.

A researcher selects a sample and administers a treatment for anxiety to the individuals in the sample. If the sample is used for a hypothesis test, what does the null hypothesis (Ho) put forth about the treatment? O The treatment has an effect on anxiety. O The treatment divides each anxiety score by a constant. O The treatment multiplies each anxiety score by a constant. The treatment has no effect on anxiety.

Which of the following statements is not true about hypothesis tests? A. Hypothesis tests are only valid when the sample is representative of the population for the variable of interest. B. Hypotheses are statements about the population represented by the samples. C. Hypotheses are statements about the sample/s from the population/s. D.

Which of the following facts about the p-value of a test is correct? The p-value is calculated under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. The smaller the p-value, the more evidence the data provide against H0. The p-value can have values between -1 and 1. All of the above are correct. Just (A) and (B) are correct.
A researcher was interested in examining if a relationship existed between two variables, X and Y. Seven people were selected for the study, and their scores on X and Y are shown below.

Q3. If the null hypothesis is not rejected when the null hypothesis is in error, what type of error, if any, has been made?
In a chemistry class, Angela and Christy were performing a hypothesis test concerning the mean amount of sugar in an 8oz soda drink. Both students arrived at the same test statistics, but Angela’s result was to reject the null hypothesis, while Christy’s result was not to reject the null hypothesis. Which of the following is NOT a possible explanation for why the students had different conclusions? a. Angela was performing a one-tail test, but Christy was performing a two-tail test. b. Angela considered the test statistic to be z, while Christy considered the test statistic to be t. c. Angela computed the p-value of the test statistics, while Christy compared the test statistic to the corresponding critical value in the chart. d. Angela performed an upper-tail test, while Christy performed a lower-tail test. e. Angela was testing at an α=0.05, but Christy was testing at an α=0.01 level.
A popular uprising that started on January 25, 2011 in Egypt led to the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Polls show that about 69% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 30 high school students, it was found that only 17 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time. (Source: Gallup Politics, Americans' Views of Egypt Sharply More Negative, data collected February 2-5, 2011).
Explain why a level of significance of α = 0 is not used. Why is a level of significance of α = 0 not used? A. If x = 0, the alternative hypothesis cannot be rejected, making the hypothesis test useless. B. If α = 0, the alternative hypothesis is always rejected, making the hypothesis test useless. C. If α = 0, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, making the hypothesis test useless. D. If x=0, the null hypothesis is always rejected, making the hypothesis test useless.
The following table contains the number of successes and failures for three categories of a variable. Test whether the proportions are equal for each category at the α=0.1 level of significance. Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Failures 32 51 57 Successes 39 54 73 State the hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: The categories of the variable and success and failure are independent. H1: The categories of the variable and success and failure are dependent. B. H0: The categories of the variable and success and failure are dependent. H1: The categories of the variable and success and failure are independent. C. H0: p1=p2=p3 H1: At least one of the proportions is different from the others. D. H0: μ1=E1 and μ2=E2 and μ3=E3 H1: At least one mean is different from what is expected. What is the P-value? nothing (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What conclusion can be…

(b)Based on your answer to part (a), which statement below is true? Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected. Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is not rejected. Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected. Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is not rejected.
