Suppose that we have a problem for which the null and alternative hypothesis are given by: H0: μ = 660. H1:μ > 660. Is this a right-tailed test, left-tailed test, or two-tailed test. Find the z value based on a level of significance of α=.05.

The null and alternate hypotheses are: H0 : μ1 = μ2H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 A random sample of 10 observations from one population revealed a sample mean of 22 and a sample standard deviation of 3.7. A random sample of 7 observations from another population revealed a sample mean of 26 and a sample standard deviation of 5.0. At the 0.10 significance level, is there a difference between the population means? State the decision rule. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) Compute the pooled estimate of the population variance. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Compute the test statistic. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) State your decision about the null hypothesis. multiple choice 1 Reject H0. Do not reject H0.

Original Claim: Fewer than 90% of adults have a cell phone. This is a claim about a population proportion so a normal distribution is assumed. The claim undergoes a hypothesis test using a significance level of α = 0.05. The P-value based on sample data is calculated to be 0.0003. State the null hypothesis (H0). State the alternative hypothesis (H1). What kind of test would this be, a two-tailed, a left-tailed, or a right-tailed? Sketch a normal distribution curve and highlight the region of significance (also called critical region or rejection region). On your graph, next highlight the P-value. (The P-value means that there is a 0.03% chance that your results could be random or happen by chance). State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H0 or fail to reject H0.) Without using technical terms or symbols, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim, i.e., fewer than 90% of adults have a cell phone.Now we will test this hypothesis using the critical value…
A random sample of 61 produced the summary statistics x 0.373 and s = 0.054. Complete parts a and b. ..... a. Test the null hypothesis that u =0.42 against the alternative hypothesis that u<0.42, using a = 0.10. What is the value of the test statistic? z= - 1.58 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the p-value. p-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed,)
It was reported that last year the average price of gallons of gasoline in a city X was $3.15. This year a sample of 50 gas stations had an average price of $3.10 for a gallon. We assume that the population standard deviation of prices is $0.15. We are interested in determining whether this year's mean price is less than last year. Perform a hypothesis test at the level of significance α=0.05.
Do men take more time than women to get out of bed in the morning? The 46 men observed averaged 6.5 minutes to get out of bed after the alarm rang. Their standard deviation was 1.1. The 45 women observed averaged 6 minutes and their standard deviation was 2.9 minutes. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: u1 or p1, <,>,=, u2, p2 (please enter a decimal) H1:H1: u1 or p1, <,>,=, u2, p2 (Please enter a decimal) The test statistic z or t is 1.083. Enter it here (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value is 0.1417. Enter it here (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is <,> αα Based on this, we should fail to reject, accept,or reject the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.01, so there is…
A claim is made that the proportion of children who play sports is less than it used to be. Assume that you plan to use a significance level of αα = 0.05 to test the claim that p<0.5p<0.5. Find the critical value for this hypothesis test, then use x=396x=396 and n=1320n=1320 from the sample data to decide if the statistics support the claim. -1.96; yes, they do support the claim -1.96; no, they do not support the claim -1.645; yes, they do support the claim -1.645; no, they do not support the claim
We tested to see if women were more likely to do aerobics than men at the α = 0.02 level, and found a p-value of 0.0017. Which of the following is a correct interpretation? With an α of 0.02, and a p-value of 0.0017, we reject the null and state that the averages are different With an α of 0.02, and a p-value of 0.0017, we reject the null and state that the true average of women who do aerobics is greater than that of men With an α of 0.02, and a p-value of 0.0017, we reject the null and state that the true proportion of women who do aerobics is greater than that of men With an α of 0.05, and a p-value of 0.0.0017, we reject the null and state that the true proportion of women who do aerobics is greater than that of men
Hello. I appreciate any help. Thanks.
You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.001α=0.001. Ho: μ = 57.2 Ha: μ < 57.2You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=106n=106 with a mean of μ=56.2μ=56.2 and a standard deviation of s=9.8s=9.8.What is the critical value for this test? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) critical value = ________
A sample of 34 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 45, and the population standard deviation is 5.

A report states that 45% of American adults were obese. In this report, adults were considered to be 20 years of age or older. If about 71% of Americans are adults (20 and over), use the U.S. population estimate of 301 million people to calculate the number of American adults age 20 and older.
