Mr. Gaurav, (considered by his friends as the most eligible bachelor) proposed his long- time best friend. His best friend being a stats enthusiast accepts his proposal by rejecting the null hypothesis (status quo). What according to you were the null and alternate hypotheses? Can you define the Type-I and Type-II errors applicable to the given situation?

A study of young children was designed toincrease their intake of whole-grain, rather than regular-grain, snacks. At the end of the study, the 86children who participated in the study were presented with a choice between a regular-grain snackand a whole-grain alternative. The whole-grain alternative was chosen by 48 children. You want toexamine the possibility that the children are equally likely to choose each type of snack. (a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for this setting.(b) Are the guidelines for using the large-sample significance test satisfied for testing this nullhypothesis? Explain your answer.(c) Perform the significance test and summarize your results in a short paragraph.

The "t(215)" column gives details of the specific hypothesis testing procedure used in this study called a t test. In this study, the t test was used to compare pet owners with nonowners on various measures of well-being, personality, and attachment style. Considering just the results for the personality factors, explain what these results mean to a person who has never had a course in statistics. (Focus on the meaning of the results in terms of the general logic of hypothesis testing and statistical significance.)

According to a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted during June 24–28, 2011, 55% of the American adults polled said that owning a home is a very important part of the American Dream (The New York Times, June 30, 2011). Suppose this result was true for the population of all American adults in 2011. In a recent poll of 1780 American adults, 60% said that owning a home is a very important part of the American Dream. Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether it is reasonable to conclude that the percentage of all American adults who currently hold this opinion is higher than 55%. Use a 10% significance level, and use both the p-value and the critical-value approaches. Round your answers for the observed value of z and the critical value of z to two decimal places, and the p-value to four decimal places.zobserved =Enter you answer; z_observed p-value =Enter you answer; p-value Critical value =Enter you answer; Critical value

Are freshmen psychology majors more likely to change their major before they graduate compared to freshmen business majors? 355 of the 619 freshmen psychology majors from a recent study changed their major before they graduated and 356 of the 679 freshmen business majors changed their major before they graduated. What can be concluded at the = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: (please enter a decimal) (Please enter a decimal) The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of freshmen psychology majors who change their major…
