mu is less than or equal to 98.6 degrees. Your test will be at the 0.01 significance level. You take a sample of 50 people (a large sample), and find that the sample average is 99.3 degrees, and the standard deviation is 2. What is the value of your test statistic? (Please answer to two decimal places. ex: 5.43

Identify the type I error and the type II error that corresponds to the given hypothesis. The proportion of people who write with their left hand is equal to 0.31. Which of the following is a type I error? O A. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.31 when the proportion is actually 0.31. B. Reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.31 when the proportion is actually 0.31. O C. Reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.31 when the proportion is actually different from 0.31. D. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of people who write with their left hand is 0.31 when the proportion is actually different from 0.31.
A study of road rage asked random samples of 596 men and 523 women about their behavior while driving. Based on their answers, each person was assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0 to 20. The participants were chosen by random digit dialing of phone numbers. The researchers performed a test of the following hypotheses: Ho: μM=μF versus Ha: μM≠μF.Ho: μM=μF versus Ha: μM=μF. The P-value for the stated hypotheses is 0.002. Interpret this value in the context of this study. A) Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting a difference in sample means. B) Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting an observed difference at least as extreme as the observed difference. C) Assuming that the true mean road rage score is different for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting an observed difference at least as…
A researcher administers a treatment to a sample of participants selected from a population with µ = 90. If a hypothesis test is used to evaluate the effect of the treatment, which combination of factors is most likely to result in rejecting the null hypothesis? a. a sample mean much different than 80 with α = .01 b. a sample mean much different than 80 with α = .05 c. a sample mean near 80 with α = .01 d. a sample mean near 80 with α = .05
If a researcher obtains a sample mean of M= 54, from a population with u = 46. With a given alpha, which combination of factors is most likely to result in rejecting the null hypothesis?
Select the most appropriate response. It is claimed that the mean age of bus drivers in Chicago is 59.3 years. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis? Question 2 options: There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim µ = 59.3. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim p = 59.3. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim p = 59.3. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim u = 59.3.
Dr. Ingrid is conducting an experiment to see whether time spent reading is related to poor vision. To do so, she creates three groups and randomly assigns 17 participants to each: the first group reads for 30 min a day, the second group reads for 1hr a day, and the third group reads for 1.5 hrs a day. Dr. Ingrid plans on using a one-way ANOVA to analyze the results of her experiment. If Dr. Ingrid has set alpha to .01, what will be her critical value of F?
Two independent samples have been selected, 7777 observations from population 1 and 5858 observations from population 2. The sample means have been calculated to be ?⎯⎯⎯1=13.4x¯1=13.4 and ?⎯⎯⎯2=11.3x¯2=11.3. From previous experience with these populations, it is known that the variances are ?21=27σ12=27 and ?22=29σ22=29. For the hypothesis test of ?0:(?1−?2)=1.8H0:(μ1−μ2)=1.8 and ??:(?1−?2)≠1.8Ha:(μ1−μ2)≠1.8 Use ?=0.04α=0.04. (a) Compute the test statistic. ?=z= (b) Find the approximate p-value?−?????=p−value= The final conclustion is A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that (?1−?2)=1.8(μ1−μ2)=1.8. B. We can reject the null hypothesis that (?1−?2)=1.8(μ1−μ2)=1.8 and accept that (?1−?2)≠1.8(μ1−μ2)≠1.8.
If I calculate a z test statistic of 4.84, and my α=0.05, what decision should I make about the hypothesis? (Calculate the p-value for a 2-sided test to make your decision.)
State the Result: A hypothesis test was conducted at the alpha = 0.01 level of significance. The test resulted in a p-value of 0.044.
A report states the average temperature for the month of June on a specific tropical island is 98 degrees F. A meteorologist claims the report is not correct.. Data collected from 35 areas on the island showed an average temperature of 94 degrees F. Thepopulation standarddeviation is known to be 6.0 degrees F. At alpha = 0.05, can the report's average be rejected? For multiple choice question #1, tell what type of test: right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed.
A hypothesis test will be conducted and after summarinzing the data, the observed test statistic is z = 1.9. Explain how much evidence we have against the null hypothesis (H0) and for the alternative hypothesis (Ha) in each of the following sets of hypotheses: Explain the reason that the answer differs depending on the chosen alternative hypothesis.
The NAEP considers that a national average of 283 is an acceptable performance. Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values. Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
