For a hypothesis test with a probability of a Type II error of 60% and a probability of a Type I error of 5%, which of the following statements is most accurate? A. The power of the test is 40%, and there is a 5% probability that the test statistic will exceed the critical value(s). B. There is a 95% probability that the test statistic will be between the critical values if this is a two tailed test. C. There is a 5% probability that the null hypothesis will be rejected when actually true, and the probability of rejecting the null when it is false is 40%.

A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 9 ounces of coffee per cup. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if the true mean discharge differs from 9. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test. Ho: 0 H1: 0 OsO O>o O20 ?
When one changes the significance level of a hypothesis test from 0.10 to 0.05, which of the following will happen? Check all that apply. A. The chance that the null hypothesis is true changes from 0.10 to 0.05. OB. The test becomes less stringent to reject the null hypothesis (i.e. it becomes easier to reject the null hypothesis). c. It becomes harder to prove that the null hypothesis is true. OD. The chance of committing a Type I error changes from 0.10 to 0.05. ⒸE. The chance of committing a Type II error changes from 0.10 to 0.05. OF. It becomes easier to prove that the null hypothesis is true. ⒸG. The test becomes more stringent to reject the null hypothesis (i.e., it becomes harder to reject the null hypothesis).

Suppose Connie owns a pet store in a large community that has over 50,000 pet owners. She believes that the proportion of men who own cats is different from the proportion of women who own cats. Connie decides to test this claim by performing a two-sample ?-test for two proportions. Her hypotheses are given by ?0:??=???1:??≠?? where ?0 is the null hypothesis, and ?1 is the alternative hypothesis. The variables ?? and ?? represents the population proportion of men and women cat owners, respectively. She randomly samples 420 men and 493 women who are pet owners in the community and finds that 234 men own cats and 256 women own cats. Determine the pooled sample proportion, ?̂. Provide your answer precise to three decimal places. Compute the standard error of the difference of the sample proportions (SE). Provide your answer precise to three decimal places. SE = ?̂=

Consider the following statements: I. As far as the probability of a Type I error is concerned, a two-tailed hypothesis test is more accurate than a one-tailed hypothesis test. II. A point estimation procedure in a one sample scenario utilizes information in a sample to arrive at two points, one positive and one negative in order to estimate the population parameter of interest. a. I and II are both true. b. I and II are both false. c. I is true and II is false. d. I is false and II is true. e. I is false and II is sometimes true.
Suppose a 95% confidence interval for the difference in test scores between Class 1 and Class 2 (in that order) is the following: 9 +/− 2. These results were based on independent samples of size 100 from each class. Now suppose you switch the order of Class 1 and Class 2 in your analysis but keep the data labeled correctly in terms of which class they came from. Which of the following statements is false? A) You can't do it this way. You'll get negative numbers for the difference in the means and/or negative numbers for the standard error. B) You are confident that the average for Class 2 is 7 to 11 points lower than for Class 1. C) You are still confident that the classes have significantly different mean scores. D) Your 95% confidence interval will now be entirely negative: from −7 to −11.
Annie conducts a study to examine the differences in stress levels between pet owners and non-pet owners. She conducts a two-tailed test and tells that she rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore, which of these statements is true? Question 8 options: Pet owners have more stress than non-pet owners. Pet owners have less stress than non-pet owners. Pet owners' and non-pet owners' stress levels differ, but it is not known how they differ. Pet owners' and non-pet owners' stress levels do not differ.
Which of the following statements below is incorrect about Type II error? The larger the effect size, the smaller the power of the test will be. For a given probability of type I error, the probability of type II error can be reduced by increasing the sample size. The power of a test is equal to 1-3, where represents the probability that a hypothesis test does not reject a false null hypothesis. The effect size measures the distance between the true population proportion and the value assumed for it in the null hypothesis.
You wish to test the following claim (H.) at a significance level of a = 0.005. You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. And you have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are equal You obtain a sample - 19.1 from the first population. 7.1 from of size ni 23 with a mean of a1 You obtain a sample of size n2 the second population. 86.6 and a standard deviation of s1 20 with a mean of r2 96.5 and a standard deviation of s2 = a. What is the test statistic for this sample? test statistic = Round to 3 decimal places. b. What is the p-value for this sample? For this calculation, use p-value Use Technology Round to 4 decimal places.
