Which of the following would be strong evidence for a researcher’s hypothesis? A. a small P-value B. a large P-value C. a t test statistic close to zero D. Both A and C.
Q.9 F
Suppose a researcher compares the means of two independent groups that have the same number of participants in each group. The researcher uses the .05 level of significance and obtains a calculated value of t of 2.11. At least how many participants must be in each group in order to reject the null hypothesis?A. 10B. 9C. 8D. 11
1. The null hypothesis if you are trying to find out if you have enough evidence to conclude that the population means is different than 55 would be Ha: µ ≠ 55 True False 2. A p-value of 0.017 provides more evidence against the null hypothesis than a p-value of 0.005. True False
You are conducting a study to see if the average male life expectancy is significantly different from 82. If your null and alternative hypothesis are:H0:μ=82H1:μ≠82Then the test is: two tailed left tailed right tailed
Cindy is a server at a local restaurant who makes, on average, $58 in tips per daytime shift. Cindy thinks she will make more if she moves to the nighttime shift. Her manager will choose five random nighttime shifts for Cindy to work. Cindy plans to conduct a significance test on the hypotheses H0: mu = 58; Ha: mu > 58 at the alpha = 0.05 level, where is the true mean amount of tips Cindy will make working nighttime shifts. Are the conditions for performing the test met? No, the 10% condition is not met. No, the sample size is too small, and a Normal distribution cannot be assumed. Yes, all conditions are met for performing a significance test about the mean. Yes, only the random condition must be met in order to perform a significance test. No, there is no way the manager could choose a random sample of shifts to work.
Do question 7,8 and 9 only The new study also carried out a test to determine whether the population proportion of unvaccinated school children contracting winter flu was higher than the population proportion of vaccinated school children. The Z test statistic to test this belief is found to be 1.874. The corresponding p-value is 0.0305 0.1212 0.3036 0.7724 Question 7 Suppose that the new study uses a level of significance of 0.05 to test the claim in Question 6. The probability of Type I error is 0.025 0.05 0.95 0.975 Question 8 Based on previous studies of school children who were vaccinated and contracted the flu, the time in hours that the flu symptoms last is assumed to follow a normal distribution with a mean of 20.7 hours and a standard deviation of 7.3 hours. The probability that a randomly selected school child has flu symptoms for more than 24 hours is 0.1628 0.3256 0.6744 0.8372 Question 9 Suppose that a random sample of 5 vaccinated school children is taken. Assuming the…
Bags of a certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14 oz. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag and are Normally distributed with mean u. A representative of a consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised, so he intends to test the hypotheses Ho: μ = 14, Ha: μ < 14. To do this, he selects 16 bags of this brand at random and determines the net weight of each. He finds the sample mean to be x = 13.88 and the sample standard deviation to be s = 0.24. Suppose in a similar test of 16 bags of these tortilla chips the P-value is 0.001. Further suppose that a is chosen to be 0.001. In that case, we would conclude that: Othere is not significant evidence that the mean net weight of the bags of chips is less than the advertised 14 oz. O there is not significant evidence that the mean net weight of the bags of chips is not less than the advertised 14 oz. O there is significant evidence that the…
A graduate student is designing a research study. She is hoping to show that the results of an experiment are statistically significant. What type of p-value would she want to obtain? a)A large p-value. b)A small p-value. c)The magnitude of a p-value has no impact on statistical significance
