Question

The average salary in this city is $47,400. Is the average less for single people? 70 randomly selected single people who were surveyed had an average salary of $45,379 and a standard deviation of $13,700.  What can be concluded at the  αα = 0.05 level of significance? 

    1. For this study, we should use    Correct
 
  1. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:     

 H0:H0:     Correct       Correct  

 
 

  

 

 H1:H1:            Correct  

 

 

  1. The test statistic     =  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  2. The p-value =  (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  3. The p-value is     αα
  4. Based on this, we should      the null hypothesis.
  5. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The data suggest that the population mean is not significantly less than 47,400 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean salary for singles is less than 47,400.
    • The data suggest that the populaton mean is significantly less than 47,400 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean salary for singles is less than 47,400.
    • The data suggest that the sample mean is not significantly less than 47,400 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the sample mean salary for singles is less than 45,379.
  6. Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
    •  There is a 11.06302774% chance of a Type I error.
    • If the population mean salary for singles is $47,400 and if another 70 singles are surveyed then there would be a 11.06302774% chance that the population mean salary for singles would be less than $47,400.
    • If the population mean salary for singles is $47,400 and if another 70 singles are surveyed then there would be a 11.06302774% chance that the sample mean for these 70 singles surveyed would be less than $45,379.
    • There is a 11.06302774% chance that the population mean salary for singles is less than $47,400.
  7. Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
    • If the population mean salary for singles is $47,400 and if another 70 singles are surveyed then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean salary for singles is less than $47,400.
    • There is a 5% chance that the population mean salary for singles is less than $47,400.
    • If the population population mean salary for singles is less than $47,400 and if another 70 singles are surveyed then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean salary for singles is equal to $47,400.
    • There is a 5% chance that you won the lottery, so you may not have to even have to worry about passing this class.
