Reports say that the mean birth weight of babies of European heritage is 3.5 kg. Marta wants to perform a hypothesis test to see if this holds true in her nation. She takes a random sample of babies and observes a mean birthweight of bar x-3.43 kg Here's Marta's null hypothesis: HO: The mean birth weight in this nation is... What is an appropriate way for Marta to finish her null hypothesis O equal to 3.43 kg O not equal to 3.43 kg O equal to 3.5 kg not equal to 3.5 kg

In a study designed to test the "truth" to the theory that, on average, U.S. adults gain weight between Thanksgiving and January a research team looked at responses from 8 randomly selected U.S. adults. The subjects were weighed (lb) on the day before Thanksgiving and again on January 3rd The raw data are found in Table 1. Let ? = 0.025 Pre-Thanksgiving 168.2 173.5 164.3 166.4 167.6 164.9 172.1 169.8 Jan. 3rd 173.3 159.9 175.4 172.1 174.8 169.7 177.3 164.5 Diff 5.1 -13.6 11.1 5.7 7.2 4.8 5.2 -5.3 C) The point estimate for the true standard deviation of the weight gain that U.S. adults have from Thanksgiving until Jan. 3 is: E) The test statistic for this data set is F) The P-value for this study is:

A hypothesis test is performed on the following where the claim is the null hypothesis Ho:p = 0.74 H :p+0.74 a.) What population parameter is being tested? a. proportion b. standard deviation C. mean d. variance b.) What type of hypothesis test is being performed? a. left-tailed b. right-tailed c. two-tailed
A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 9 ounces of coffee per cup. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if the true mean discharge differs from 9. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test. Ho: 0 H1: 0 OsO O>o O20 ?
New Orleans' Coca Cola bottling center wants to determine whether the mean amount of product in a 12 oz can of Coke is actually 12 ounces. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu is equal to 12 ounces Ha: mu is not equal to 12 ouncesYou want to be extra sure that you aren't underfilling (which would open you up to a lawsuit). Being risk averse, you set out to conduct a hypothesis test at a stringent 99% level. Fill rates are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 50 different Coke cans and carefully measure the amount of product. From this sample, you calculate an avg fill of 12.3 ounces, with a standard deviation of 0.75 ounces. What do you conclude about the average amount of Coke product in the cans? Group of answer choices a. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that you are not filling to 12 ounces on average. b. There is NOT sufficient evidence to conclude that you are under- or over-filling on average.
A professor believes that, in recent years, the ethnic composition of the students in the university has changed. According to the data collected a few years ago, there were 70% of students from European origins, 20% Asian origins, 5% Indigenous, and 5% Others. To test his belief, he randomly sampled 500 students and recorded their ethnicity as shown below: European 318 Asian 132 Indigenous 25 Others 25 The professor conducted a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test. Which of the following is the obtained chi-squared statistic for this test? A. 5.1443 B. 8.7898 C. 0.2288 D. 13.1657 E. 10.9777
The owner of a small pet supply store wants to open a second store in another city, but he only wants to do so if more than one -third of the citys households have pets( otherwise there wont be enough business). he samples 150 of the households and finds that 64 have pets. 1. state the parameters and hypothesis 2. find the observed sample statistic 3. what is the p- value, and is this statistically significant?
A state-by-state survey found that the proportions of adults who are smokers in state A and state B were 22.9% and 19.3%, respectively. (Suppose the number of respondents from each state was 3000.) At a = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of adults who are smokers is lower in state A than in state B? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha. The claim is "the proportion of adults who are smokers in state A is the proportion of adults who are smokers in state B." Let p, and p2 be the two population proportions. State H, and Ha. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: P1 = P2 Hạ: P1 # P2 O B. Ho: P1 P2 Ha: P1 SP2 D. Ho: P1 sP2 F. Ho: P1 2 P2 Ha: P1 > P2 Ha: P1 1.96 ОС. z2 -1.64 D. z 1.64 E. z - 1.96 (c) Find the standardized test statistic.

Do you reject or not-reject the null hypothesis? Group of answer choices Do not reject the null hypothesis. Reject the null hypothesis.
When we test the hypothesis that the population proportions are equal, we can use the Z test for a one-sided as well as a two-sided alternative. Select one: a. False b. True C. Not sure
We have Ho : p = .4 and H1: p > .4. You run 50 experiments and find that the sample proportion is .42. Use alpha = .01 to test the hypothesis.
