### Hypothesis Testing for Mean Hours Worked by College GraduatesSome college graduates employed full-time work more than 40 hours per week, and some work fewer than 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates, μ, is less than 40 hours and wish to conduct a statistical test. We select a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and find that the mean of the sample is 37 hours and that the standard deviation is 6 hours.Based on this information, answer the following questions below:#### Step 1: Formulate the Hypotheses**What are the null hypothesis ($H_0$) and the alternative hypothesis ($H_1$) that should be used for the test?**- Null Hypothesis ($H_0$): μ is (choose: not equal to, less than, greater than) 40- Alternative Hypothesis ($H_1$): μ is (choose: not equal to, less than, greater than) 40#### Step 2: Understanding Type I Error**In the context of this test, what is a Type I error?**- A Type I error is (choose: not rejecting, rejecting) the hypothesis that μ is (choose: not equal to, less than, greater than) 40 when, in fact, μ is (choose: not equal to, less than, greater than) 40.#### Step 3: Considering Errors in Decision Making**Suppose that we decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might we be making?**- (Choose: Type I Error, Type II Error)---**Explanation of Elements:**- **Null Hypothesis ($H_0$):** This is the statement that there is no effect or no difference, and it is assumed to be true until evidence indicates otherwise. In this context, we are testing whether the mean number of hours worked, μ, by college graduates is 40 hours.- **Alternative Hypothesis ($H_1$):** This is the statement that there is an effect or a difference. It indicates what we suspect to be true (i.e., the mean number of hours worked is less than 40).- **Type I Error:** This error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis even though it is true. For instance, concluding that the mean hours worked is not 40 hours when it actually is.-

Some college graduates employed full-time work more than 40 hours per week, and some work fewer than 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates, p, is less than 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and find that the mean of the sample is 37 hours and that the standard deviation is 6 hours. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? Hi u is ? H;: µ is ? In the context of this test, what is a Type I error? A Type I error is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? ? v. when, in fact, u is ? Suppose that we decide to reject the null hypothesis.

Suppose a claim is made that the mean age of members of a golf club is 52 years. The population standard deviation is 6 years. Evaluate this claim if a random sample of 50 members has a mean age of 56 years. Is there a way to get answer on excel?
It seems these days that college graduates who are employed full-time work more than 40-hour weeks. Data are available that can help us decide if this is true. A survey was recently sent to a group of adults selected at random. There were 15 respondents who were college graduates employed full-time. The mean number of hours worked per week by these 15 respondents was 43 hours, with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Assume that the population of hours worked per week by college graduates employed full-time is normally distributed with mean μ. Can we conclude that μ is greater than 40 hours? Use the 0.05 level of significance. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 Find the t-test df & Solve the t-test value Find the critical value Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates is greater than 40 hours? Yes or No?

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Data were collected on the top 1,000 financial advisers. Company A had 239 people on the list and another company, Company B, had 121 people on the list. A sample of 16 of the advisers from Company A and 10 of the advisers from Company B showed that the advisers managed many very large accounts with a large variance in the total amount of funds managed. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company A was s₁ = $583 million. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company B was s₂ = $484 million. Conduct a hypothesis test at a = 0.10 to determine if there is a significant difference in the population variances for the amounts managed by the two companies. What is your conclusion about the variability in the amount of funds managed by advisers from the two firms? State the null and alternative hypotheses. 2 2 H₂:0 2 Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer…
