A random sample of 60 trials resulted in 18 successes. List the null and alternate hypothesis if you were to test the claim that the population proportion exceeds 20% at an ?=0.01.
Suppose there is a claim that a certain population has a mean, H, that is different than 5. You want to test this claim. To do so, you collect a large random sample from the population and perform a hypothesis test at the 0.10 level of significance. To start this test, you write the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H1, as follows. Hg: u= 5 H1: u=5 Suppose you also know the following information.

House values in Martin, TN are known to have a distribution that is skewed to the right instead of being normally distributed. Assume that house values in Martin, TN have a mean of $64,500 with a standard deviation of $21,350. Answer the following probability questions concerning house values in Martin, TN. Part 1: If 1 randomly selected house in Martin, TN is selected, what is the probability that this house has a value under $60,000? Part 2: If 30 randomly selected houses in Martin, TN are selected, use the Central Limit Theorem to determine the probability that their average value is under $60,000?

65 homeless people in San Jose were asked their age. The sample mean age was 33.2 years. Let x be a random variable representing ages of homeless people in San Jose. Assume that x has a normal distribution and o = 7.3 years. Do the data indicate that the mean age of the population of homeless people in San Jose is less than 35 years old? Use a = 0.05. Identify the following in your answer. 1. Identify the null hypothesis Ho and alternate hypotheses H, for the problem. 2.

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?
