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?

Dr. Moo conducted a research project in which she compared the impact of two types of therapy (pizza therapy and chocolate therapy) and gender on college students’ happiness. How many null hypotheses did she have, and how would you write them?

14) A traffic-safety researcher is studying driver’s behavior (complete stop, coasting stop, ran stop sign) at a specific stop sign. The researcher would like to know if driver behavior depends on the type of vehicle (car, sport utility vehicle [SUV], pickup truck). a) What is the appropriate null and alternate hypothesis to determine if stop sign behavior depends on type of vehicle? b) The traffic-safety researcher observes 500 vehicles at the stop sign and records the two variables: the type of vehicle (car, sport utility vehicle [SUV], pickup truck) and the driver’s behavior at the stop sign (complete stop, coasting stop, ran stop sign). The data appears below. Use JMP software to test the hypothesis of part a). c) Using alpha= 0.05, draw a conclusion for the hypothesis test and state the conclusion in the context of the problem.

A university has decided to introduce the use of plus and minus grading as long as there is evidence that 60% of the faculty is in support of this change. Write an appropriate null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis to test if the proportion is greater than 60%.
A local chess club claims that the length of time to play a game has a mean of 23 minutes or more. Write sentences describing type I and type II errors for a hypothesis test of this claim. A type I error will occur if the actual mean of the length of time to play a game is ▼ less than equal to less than or equal to greater than not equal to greater than or equal to 23 minutes, but you ▼ fail to reject reject the null hypothesis, ▼ Upper H 0 : mu less than 23H0: μ<23 Upper H 0 : mu equals 23H0: μ=23 Upper H 0 : mu not equals 23H0: μ≠23 Upper H 0 : mu less than or equals 23H0: μ≤23 Upper H 0 : mu greater than or equals 23H0: μ≥23 Upper H 0 : mu greater than 23H0: μ>23 .

In this case, p-value is greater. So null hypothesis should not be rejected, correct?
At the halftime of the Super Bowl in 1981. Schlitz brewing company collected 100 beer drinkers who stated that they preferred a competing beer, for instance Michelob. Assume that the typical beer drinker off the street cannot tell Schlitz from competing beer brands such as Budweiser, Michelob, or Miller. (I think it couldn't be true for a very sensitive taster but it is not too strong assumption here.) The experiment resulted in about 50 blind tasters chose Schlitz even if they stated that they preferred a competing beer. Michelob.
2. You want to propose your long time best friend. But you are scared to do so fearing rejection. Since both of you are statistics freaks, you gave your best friend two statements, one representing null hypothesis and the other representing alternate hypothesis. The rejection of null by your best friend would mean that your proposal is accepted. Write the null and alternate hypothesis statements. How will you define Type-I error and Type-II error in this case?
