Last year's mean hourly wage (in dollars) for all hospital clerical workers in a large state was 7. An administrator for the state believes that this year's mean hourly wage for hospital clerical workers is greater than last year's mean. She hires statisticians to sample a number of hospital clerical workers and to carry ou a hypothesis test. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that would be used for this test. H, :0 p H, :0 O

A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate this year's mean hourly wage, µ, of foodservice workers in the U.S. Last year's mean hourly wage was $8.16, and there is good reason to believe that this year's value is greater than last year's. The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed increased. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $8.46, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.15. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H. and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? Ho OSO O
Consider the following hypothesis test. The null hypothesis is "The mean body temperature for humans is 98.6 degrees Farenheit." and the alternative hypothesis is "The mean body temperature for humans differs from 98.6 degrees Farenheit." Answer the following questions. a. "The mean body temperature for humans in fact differs from 98.6 degrees Farenheit and the result of the sampling lead to that conclusion" is aA. Type I errorB. correct decisionC. Type II error b. "The mean body temperature for humans in fact is 98.6 degrees Farenheit but the result of the sampling lead to the conclusion that the mean body temprature for humans differ from 98.6 degrees Farenheit" is aA.

New Orleans' Coca Cola bottling center wants to determine whether the mean amount of product in a 12 oz can of Coke is actually 12 ounces. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu is equal to 12 ounces Ha: mu is not equal to 12 ouncesYou want to be extra sure that you aren't underfilling (which would open you up to a lawsuit). Being risk averse, you set out to conduct a hypothesis test at a stringent 99% level. Fill rates are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 50 different Coke cans and carefully measure the amount of product. From this sample, you calculate an avg fill of 12.3 ounces, with a standard deviation of 0.75 ounces. What do you conclude about the average amount of Coke product in the cans? Group of answer choices a. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that you are not filling to 12 ounces on average. b. There is NOT sufficient evidence to conclude that you are under- or over-filling on average.

Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers was estimated to be about 30%. Given the new smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers has reduced. You randomly surveyed 2414 people and found that 680 smoke. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of smokers has reduced. a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses? Hp: ? v H:? v b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)? O left-tailed O right-tailed O two-tailed c) Identify the appropriate significance level. Check Answer

The company that you work for requires that less than 3% (.03) of the microchips that you deliver are defective. If the percentage is not below 3%, you cannot ship the microchips. You collect a simple random sample of 430 microchips and find that 12 of them are defective. Conduct a hypothesis test with a a =.05 level of significance to determine if less than 3% of the microchips are defective. Write all non-calculation answers in complete sentences. a. Which test would you use and why? b. Write the null and alternative hypothesis in complete sentences. (Make sure you mark which is the null and which is the alternative.) c. Write the null and alternative hypothesis as symbols. d. State the requirements that have been met to run the test. e. What is the test statistic and the p-value? (Make sure you use the right notation.) f. Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? g. State the conclusion for the test.
The national percentage of automobile accident fatalities that are alcohol related is 39%. In a random sample of 96 automobile accident fatalities in the state of New York, 44 were alcohol related. Is this sufficient evidence to say that new York has a higher percentage of alcohol related automobile fatalities? a. Perform the appropriate test of hypothesis and paste the session window output below. b. What is the value of the test statistic? c. At a = .10, what is your decision?
An automotive company is conducting a survey concerning consumer buying preferences of a particular truck. The company wants to know whether the truck appearance, miles per gallon (MPG), or fixed price most influenced the consumer’s buying decision. A population sample of 500 individuals, both male and female, will be surveyed. State the null and alternative hypothesis if your were to test whether there is any difference in proportion using the three different criterion to purchase the given car based on gender.
