Let u represent the average difference in time (actual time - estimated time) it took to complete the problem for all students. She would like to investigate whether there will be convincing statistical evidence that the students overestimate the time it took to complete the problem, on average. Which of the following is the correct hypotheses for this test?

Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
You run a publishing company and you are assessing your proofreaders. You hope that they can proofread an average of 1000 words per hour, an industry benchmark, If they average fewer than 1000 words per hour you will need to reconfigure the staffing. You test the proofreading times of a sample of 100 of the proofreaders and find the sample average words per hour is = whether the population mean words per hour is greater than 1000 with a 95% confidence level. The z-critical value for this test is Z = Zo.05 975 and the sample standard deviation is s = 600. Test 1.645. Show all your steps clearly and illustrate your answer with a graph. %3D
Life on Other Planets Forty-five percent of people believe that there is life on other planets in the universe. A scientist does not agree with this finding. He surveyed 110 randomly selected individuals and found 66 believed that there is life on other planets. At α=0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage differs from 45? Use the P-value method with a graphing calculator. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. H0 : p=0.45 ▼not claim H1 : p≠0.45 ▼claim This hypothesis test is a ▼two-tailed test. Find the P-value. Round the answer to four decimal places. P-value = ___________________
The Census Bureau's American Housing Survey has reported that 76 percent of families choose their house location based on the school district. You want to conduct a test of whether the population proportion really equals 0.76. Use a 0.10 level of significance and a sample of 440. The proportion of families in your sample that choose their home based on the school district was 0.78. a. State in statistical terms the null and alternative hypotheses. (2 points) b. Determine the appropriate test statistic. (z or t) (2 points) c. Determine the critical values. (2 points) d. Compute the test statistic. (2 points) e. Make a decision on the hypotheses. (which hypothesis is correct?) (2 points)
Suppose you want to test the claim that a population mean equals 40. (a) State the null hypothesis. H0: μ > 40 H0: μ < 40 H0: μ = 40 H0: μ ≠ 40 H0: μ ≥ 40 (b) State the alternate hypothesis if you have no information regarding how the population mean might differ from 40. H1: μ > 40 H1: μ < 40 H1: μ = 40 H1: μ ≠ 40 H1: μ ≥ 40 (c) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may exceed 40. H1: μ > 40 H1: μ < 40 H1: μ = 40 H1: μ ≠ 40 H1: μ ≥ 40
If a treatment is expected to decrease scores in a population with µ= 30, then the alternative hypothesis is µ ≤ 30. True or false?
A demographer wants to know what proportion of women in different countries dye their hair. They take a random sample of women from Korea and another random sample of women from China. In Korea, 47% dyed their hair. In China, 56% dyed their hair. (a) What hypotheses would the demographer use to test if women in China are more likely to dye their hair than women in Korea? H0: pChina=pKorea vs. Ha: pChina ≠ pKoreaH0: pChina - pKorea = 0 vs. Ha: pChina - pKorea > 0 H0: μChina-μKorea = 0 vs. Ha: μChina-μKorea ≠ 0H0: pChina-pKorea = 0.09 vs. Ha: pChina-pKorea ≠ 0.09H0: μChina = 0.56 vs. Ha: μKorea = 0.47 (b) Suppose their test yielded a p-value of 0.079. What does this mean in the context of the test? We are 7.9% confident that the results of our test are correct.If the women of two countries have the same rates of coloring their hair, the probability of getting a difference at least this large is 0.079. If we take another sample, the probability of getting the same p̂China and…
The recidivism rate for convicted sex offenders is 14 %. A warden suspects that this percent is lower if the sex offender is also a drug addict. Of the 330 convicted sex offenders who were also drug addicts, 33 of them became repeat offenders. What can be concluded at the a = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Select an answer Ho: ? ✓ H₁: ? ✓ Select an answer ✓ (please enter a decimal) (Please enter a decimal) The test statistic The p-value= The p-value is ? a Based on this, we should Select an answer the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) O The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly lower than 14% at a = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of convicted sex offender drug addicts who become repeat offenders is…
Consumers Energy states that the average electric bill across the state is $67.16. You want to test the claim that the average bill amount is greater than $67.16. The hypotheses for this situation are Null Hypothesis: u = 67.16, Alternative Hypothesis: u > 67.16. If the true statewide average bill is $51.28 and the null hypothesis is not rejected, did a type I, type II, or no error occur? a No error has occurred. b Type I Error has occurred. c Type II Error has occurred. d We do not know the p-value, so we cannot determine if an error has occurred.
