Suppose that we have a problem for which the null and alternative hypothesis are given by: H0: μ = $1250. H1:μ ≠ $ 1250 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=.12.

Jimmy collected a random sample of 30 psychology majors and administered an IQ test. This group had an average IQ of M = 110. Compare this statistic to the general population, which has a mean IQ of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.   Use alpha of .05 and a two tailed test Step 1: Pick the Test: Hypotheses: Step 2: Alpha: One-tail or two-tail: Decision Rule (What is the critical value): Step 3: Calculations Step: 4 Interpretation What did you do? What did you find (include APA)? What does it mean? Did you reject or fail to reject null hypothesis: APA? Step 4:
A nutritionist wants to investigate whether her new diet will be effective in helping women aged 30-40 to lose weight. She will use a paired sample to determine whether the mean weight of women before going on this diet is greater than the mean weight of women after being on this diet for two months. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses for the proposed hypothesis test. O A. Let μ₁ denote the mean weight of women before going on this diet and let μ₂ denote the mean weight of women who have been on this diet for two months. The null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: H₁ H2 and Ha: H₁ H₂. O D. Let μ₁ denote the mean weight of women before going on this diet and let μ₂ denote the mean weight of women who have been on this diet for two months. The null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: H₁ H2 and Ha: H₁ H₂.
Let's examine the mean of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 by drawing samples from these values, calculating the mean of each sample, and then considering the sampling distribution of the mean. To do this, suppose you perform an experiment in which you roll an eight-sided die two times (or equivalently, roll two eight-sided dice one time) and calculate the mean of your sample. Remember that your population is the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The true mean (p) of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 is The number of possible different samples (each of size n = 2) is the number of possibilities on the first roll (8) times the number of possibilities on the second roll (also 8), or 8(8) = 64. If you collected all of these possible samples, the mean of your sampling distribution of means (HM) would equal , and the standard deviation of your sampling distribution of means (that is, the standard error or GM) would be The following chart shows the sampling distribution of the…
You wish to test the claim that the average IQ score is less than 100 at the .01 significance level. You determine the hypotheses are: Ho: μ=100 H1:μ<100H You take a simple random sample of 79 individuals and find the mean IQ score is 98.3, with a standard deviation of 15.3. Let's consider testing this hypothesis two ways: once with assuming the population standard deviation is not known and once with assuming that it is known. Round to three decimal places where appropriate. Assume Population Standard Deviation is NOT known Assume Population Standard Deviation is 15 Test Statistic: t = Test Statistic: z = Critical Value: t = Critical Value: z = p-value: p-value: Conclusion About the Null: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis Conclusion About the Null: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis Conclusion About the Claim: There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the average IQ score is less…
The test statistic of z = 0.53 is obtained when testing the claim that p > 0.5. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed. Find the P-value. Using a significance level of α = 0.05, should we reject H0 or should we fail to reject H0?
Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
A researcher expects a treatment to produce an increase in the population mean. The treatment is evaluated using a one tailed hypothesis test, and the test produces z = -1.85. Based on this result, what is the correct statistical decision? O The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with either a = .05 or α = .01. O The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with a = .05 but not with α = .01. O cannot answer without additional information O The researcher should fail to reject Ho with either a = .05 or α = .01.
State the Result: A hypothesis test was conducted at the alpha = 0.01 level of significance. The test resulted in a p-value of 0.044.
Under what circumstances is a t statistic used instead of a z-score for a hypothesis test? Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?

Based on a 20 bag sample where the mean is 433 grams and the variance is 121, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.025 level that the bags are underfilled? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.
