Dora recently explored southeast Australia where she found some very large trees known as Eucalyptus raglans or Mountain Ash. She wondered if they were taller, on average, than the coastal Douglas Firs of her native state of Oregon in the United States, which have an average height of 250 feet in old growth areas. Dora measured the heights of 15 Mountain Ash trees in southeast Australia and found an average height of X = 293 ft Suppose s = 25 ft.. Assume the heights of the 15 trees in Dora's sample are representative of the heights of all Mountain Ash trees in southeast Australia. Use a = 0.05.

What should we do with a small p-value?
A psychologist claims that less than 25.8% of the population suffers from professional problems due to fear of public speaking. In a random sample of 357 adults it was found that 96 of them suffer from fear of public speaking. Use p-value method to agree or disagree with the true percentage of the population that suffers from fear of public speaking. Show all your work and enter the test statistic. show formulas and draw all curves.

However, in the special program for talented and gifted children, 130 out of 373 students are only children. The school district administrators want to know if the proportion of only children in the special program Is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the a 0.05 level of significance. What is the hypothesized population proportion for this test? P=0.34 (Report answer as a decimal accurate to 2 decimal places. Do not report using the percent symbol.) Based on the statement of this problem, how many tails would this hypothesis test have? one-tailed test two-tailed test Choose the correct pair of hypotheses for this situation: (A) (C) Ho p 0.29 0.29 (В) Но:P 0.29 Ho: p 0.29 H: p 0.29 (D)…
For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.In a survey of 1000 large corporations, 246 said that, given a choice between a job candidate who smokes and an equally qualified nonsmoker, the nonsmoker would get the job. (a) Let p represent the proportion of all corporations preferring a nonsmoking candidate. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) Find a 0.95 confidence interval for p. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) lower limit upper limit What is the margin of error based on a 95% confidence interval? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOS) of major corporations. He believes that the mean systolic blood pressure, H, of CEOS of major corporations is less than 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 128 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 16 mm Hg. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? |Ho: H is ? |H,: µ is ? In the context of this test, what is a Type II error? A Type II error is ? fact, µ is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? when, in Suppose that the researcher decides not to reject the null hypothesis.
