manufacturer claims that the machines filling a one-gallon container of milk are set to fill the container with an average of 128 fluid ounces of milk. A consumer believes that the machine is filling the containers with less than 128 fluid ounces, on average. Which of the following would be appropriate hypotheses for the consumer to test?

An automobile manufacturer claims that the average gas mileage of a new model is 35 miles per gallon (mpg). A consumer group is skeptical of this claim and thinks the manufacturer may be overstating the average gas mileage. If µ represents the true average gas mileage for this new model, which of the following gives the null and alternative hypotheses that the consumer group should test?
The national average SAT score is roughly 1500. We would like to see if the high school seniors who apply to Duke have higher than average SAT scores. We randomly sample 100 applicants' files and record their SAT scores. Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses for this research question? Hint: think about how many samples we have data from. H0: μ = 1500; HA: μ ≠ 1500 H0: p = 1500; HA: p > 1500 H0: μ Duke= μ National; HA: μ Duke> μ National H0: x = 1500; HA: x > 1500 H0: μ = 1500; HA: μ > 1500

A can of soda is labeled as containing 16 fluid ounces. The quality control manager wants to verify that the filling machine is not over-filling the cans. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses that would be used to determine if the filling machine is calibrated correctly. Ho: H₁: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
A random sample of 500 adult residents of Maricopa County found that 361 were in favor of increasing the highway speed limit to 75 mph, while another sample of 400 adult residents of Pima County found that 292 were in favor of the increased speed limit. Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the support for in increasing the speed limit between the residents of the two counties? Use a = 0.05. (a) Test the hypothesis Ho: P₁ = P2 versus H₁: P₁ P2. What is zo? Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). Zo = (b) Is it reasonable to conclude that there is a difference in the support for increasing the speed limit between the residents of the two counties?
Amedical researcher says that less than 79% of adults in a certain country think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. In a random sample of 300 adults in that country, 75% think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. At a= 0.01, is there enough evidence to support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below SE (a) Identify the claim and state H, and H,. ome Identify the claim in this scenario. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) ents O A.

A car manufacturer claims that its latest model can average 60 miles per gallon on the highway - and an auto magazine's editor wants to put that claim to the test. (a) Write the null hypothesis for this situation. (b) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is lower than what's being claimed. (c) Write the alternate hypothesis, if the editor wants to prove that the actual miles per gallon is simply different from what's being claimed.
A machine in a factory is supposed to fill vials with approximately 50mL of a liquid. The quality control manager wants to test whether the machine is working properly. If the machine is found to be over or under-filling then the assembly line will need to be shut down so that it can be recalibrated. A. State the Null and Alternative hypothesis to the scenario using the correct symbols B. What would it mean to mean to make a Type 1 erryin this situation? C. What would it mean to make a Type 2 error in this situation? D. Why might it be worse toale a Type 1 error in this scenario? E. Suppose that we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Write a conclusion statement in the context of the problem. Assume no errors were made.
An inspector inspects large truckloads of potatoes to determine the proportion p in the shipment with major defects prior to using the potatoes to make potato chips. Unless there is clear evidence that this proportion is less than 0.10, she will reject the shipment. To reach a decision, she will test the hypotheses Ho: p=0.10, Ha p<0.10 To do so, she selects an SRS of 150 potatoes from the more than 3000 potatoes on the truck. Suppose that six of the potatoes sampled are found to have major defects. Which of the following assumptions for inference about a proportion, using a hypothesis test, are violated? O The data are an SRS from the population of interest. O There appear to be no violations. O The population is at least 10 times as large as the sample. n is so large that both npo and n(1-Po) are 10 or more, where po is the proportion with major defects, if the null hypothesis is true.
The old drug treatment for a specific type of cancer produced a five year survival rate of 15 to 1,000. In a sample of a new drug, the survival rate is 45 per 1,000. Has there been an increase in the overall survival rate with new drug? The null and alternative hypotheses are: H subscript 0 colon space M equals 15 space a n d space H subscript 1 colon space M equals 45 H subscript 0 colon space M equals 45 space a n d space H subscript 1 colon space M equals 15 H subscript 0 colon space M equals 15 space a n d space H subscript 1 colon space M greater than 15 H subscript 0 colon space M less than 15 space space a n d space H subscript 1 colon space M equals 45 space H subscript 0 colon space M less than 15 space space a n d space H subscript 1 colon space M element of 15 space
