Suppose we have a random sample of size n=100 drawn from a population with a mean of μ=50 and a standard deviation of σ=10. We want to test the null hypothesis H0: μ=48 against the alternative hypothesis H1: μ≠48 using a two-tailed test with a significance level of α=0.05. What is the decision and p-value of this hypothesis test?

A random sample of 10 from population 1 had a variance of 3.600, while a sample of 15 from population 2 had a variance of 2.400. Test the hypothesis, at the 5% level of significance, that the two population variances are the same. State your conclusion as a sentence including the test statistic and the critical value.
For the general population, the average fatigue level is μ = 50. A researcher is testing the hypothesis that engaging a meditation exercise reduces employee fatigue. A sample of n = 30 participants is obtained, and each participant engaged in a meditation exercise for 20 minutes at work each workday for a month. This sample’s average fatigue level was M = 46 with a sample variance of 100 after the month. Please write out the four steps for this hypothesis test assuming an alpha level of .05. Step 1: State your hypotheses Step 2: Find your critical regions in a distribution Step 3: Data Analysis Step 4: Making a decision
Two independent samples of respective sizes 6 and 8, respective means 78 and 96, and respective standard deviations 3 and 9, were selected from two normal populations with equal variances. Need to test the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal versus they are different. Based on these two samples, we can conclude the following about this test at α = 0.05 a. the value of the test statistic is 2.5205 and the the cut-off value is 2.201 , so we reject H0 b. the value of the test statistic is 2.49971 and the the cut-off value is 1.64 , so we accept H0 c. None of these d. the value of the test statistic is 2.49971 and the the cut-off value is 1.28 , so we reject H0 e. the value of the test statistic is 2.5205 and the the cut-off value is 1.782 , so we accept H0
It is easier to reject the null hypothesis if the researcher uses a smaller alpha (α) level. choose True or False?

A simple random sample of size n=18 is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found to be x=62 and the sample standard deviation is found to be s=19 Construct a 90% confidence interval about the population mean.
Suppose that you are given two random variables x and y and you take measurements and obtain x1 = 2.3%, x2 = −7.6%, x3 = 0.1% andy1 =60, y2 =120, y3 =80. Findthelineofbestfity=α+βx. Calculate the correlation coefficient r and perform a left-tailed hypothesis test for r with significance level 10%. Based on this test, should we use this line to find the value of y when x = .5%
A random sample of 15 families representing three social classes has been observed for the frequency with which the parents administer physical punishment to the children over a period of a week. Are the differences significant? Use α = .05 and the five-step model to conduct your hypothesis test. Write a sentence or two interpreting your results.

A sample of n = 28 individuals is randomly selected from a population with a mean of μ = 65, and a treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 61. If the sample standard deviation is s = 20, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with alpha = 0.01? Accept the null hypothesis, there is not a significant treatment effect. Accept the null hypothesis, there is a significant treatment effect Reject the null hypothesis, there is not a significant treatment effect. Reject the null hypothesis, there is a significant treatment effect.
From a sample of 25 observations, the estimate of the variance of the population was found to be 15.0 From another sample of 14 observations, the estimate variance was found to be 9.7 Can we accept the hypothesis that the two samples come from populations with equal variance, or must we conclude that the variance of the second population is smaller? Use the 0.01 level of significance.
A random sample of 32 items from the first population showed a mean of 112 and a standard deviation of 19. A sample of 28 items for the second population showed a mean of 106 and a standard deviation of 8. Test the assumption that the population variances are equal with 0.10 significance level. Then, using a 0.05 significance level, test the hypothesis that the population means are equal.
