Suppose a random sample of 150 universities is used to test the null hypothesis that the average number of spam emails economics graduate students receive in a month is 30.48. The value of the test statistic is found to be 1.98. If the null is tested against the alternative hypothesis that the number of spam emails is not 30.48, the smallest significance level at which you can reject the null hypothesis is 0.0477. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) If the null is tested against the alternative hypothesis that the number of spam emails is more than 30.48, the smallest significance level at which you can reject the null hypothesis is (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Is the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south different from the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west? 372 of the 563 randomly selected wildfires looked at in the south were caused by humans while 372 of the 521 randomly selected wildfires looked at the west were caused by humans. What can be concluded at the a 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b.

A dietician read in a survey that 70.5% of adults in the U.S. do not eat breakfast at least 3 days a week. She believes that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. To verify her claim, she selects a random sample of 71 adults and asks them how many days a week they skip breakfast.. 44 of them report that they skip breakfast at least 3 days a week. Test her claim at a = 0.10. The correct hypotheses would be: О Но:р 0.705 (claim) Но: р > 0.705 HA:p < 0.705 (claim) О Но: р — 0.705 HA:P + 0.705 (claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is 1.645 and -1.645 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. O There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip…
Suppose a study reported that the average persin watched 3.37 hours of television per day. a random sample of 15 people gave the number of hours of television watched per day shown below. at the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficent evidence to conclude that the amount of television watched per day last year by the average person is greater than the value reported in the study? what is the test statistic value for this problem? a.0.28 b.-38 c.none of the above d. 0.58 e.-4.295 f..04 g. 1.94 . the proper conclusion for this problem is? a. reject the null hypothesis we have sufficent evidence to prove the average number of hours people watch tv is more than 3.37 hours. b. Do not reject the null hypothesis we have sufficient evidence to prove the average number of hours of TV watched is greater than 3.37 hours c.

A researcher speculates that because of differences in diet, Japanese children have a lower mean blood cholesterol level than U.S. children do. Suppose that the mean level for U.S. children is known to be 175. Let ? represent the true mean blood cholesterol level for Japanese children. What hypotheses should the researcher test?

It currently takes users a mean of 2626 minutes to install the most popular computer program made by RodeTech, a software design company. After changes have been made to the program, the company executives want to know if the new mean is now different from 2626 minutes so that they can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 5151 new customers are asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 24.924.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.72.7 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.0250.025 level of significance to see if the mean installation time has changed. Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
Suppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of couples. The 20 pairs of measurements yield x= 100.1, y = 98.3, r=0.961, P-value = 0.000, and y = - 18.02 + 1.16x, where x represents the IQ score of the wife. Find the best predicted value of y given that the wife has an IQ of 100? Use a significance level of 0.05. Click the icon to view the critical values of the Pearson correlation coefficient r.

One study claimed that 88 % of college students identify themselves as procrastinators. A professor believes that the claim regarding college students is too high. The professor conducts a simple random sample of 272 college students and finds that 231 of them identify themselves as procrastinators.
