The proportion of residents in a community who recycle has traditionally been 70% . A policy maker claims that the proportion is less than 70% now that one of the recycling centers has been relocated, and the policy maker wishses to carry out a hypothesis test. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that the policy maker would use for this test. H0 : H1 :

Last year 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicated that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. For hypothesis: H0: p >= .46 ; Ha:p < .46 , compute the P-value that could be used to determine whether the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from last year.
Kenya is a behavioral psychologist who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. She suggests that blowing bubbles may effect children's eye contact (she hasn't predicted if it would increase or decrease). She works with a student who makes 5 points of eye contact in a session. How would the NULL hypothesis be state for her study using bubbles? µ < 5 µ = 5 µ > 5 µ ≠ 5

In a hypothesis test, the null hypothesis states that the population proportion of individuals who support a certain political candidate is equal to 0.6. A sample of size 400 is taken and 175 individuals support the candidate. What is the Z-score for this hypothesis test?
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly different from 72% at a level of significance of a = 0.10. According to your sample, 63 out of 83 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate. a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: v Select an answer v (please enter a decimal) H1: ? v Select an answer v (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic ? v = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? v a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer v the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 72% at a = 0.10, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 72%. O The data suggest the…
University officials hope that changes they have made have improved the retention rate. Last year, a sample of 2019 freshmen showed that 1555 returned as sophomores. This year, 1661 of 2096 freshmen sampled returned as sophomores. Determine if there is sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level to say that the retention rate has improved. Let last year's freshmen be Population 1 and let this year's freshmen be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
9) In 2015, the average math SAT score for students at South Hanover High School was 520. Five years later, a teacher wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average math SAT score of students at the school has changed since 2015. The hypotheses are: 12) A state fish hatchery raises trout for stocking streams and lakes. The size of the fish at release time can be controlled to a fair degree by varying the rate of feeding. The target is a mean of 10 ounces; if the fish are too small, those who catch the fish aren't happy. A random sample of 75 fish were weighed at time of release and it was determined that the mean was 9.66 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.86 ounces. Test to determine if the fish being released have a population mean less than 10 ounces at the 0.01 significance level. Ho : H = 520 Ha : µ # 520 Suppose that the results of the sampling lead to acceptance of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion as a Type I Error, a Type II Error, or a…
The board of directors for Procter and Gamble is concerned that only 19% of the people who use toothpaste buy Crest toothpaste. A marketing director suggests that the company invest in a new marketing campaign which will include advertisements and new labeling for the toothpaste. The research department conducts product trials in test markets for one month to determine if the market share increases with new labels. Write the company's null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: In this context describe a Type I error and the impact such an error would have on the company. O Rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it is true O Failing to reject the null hypothesis when in fact it is false In this context describe a Type Il error and the impact such an error would have on the company. O Rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it is true O Failing to reject the null hypothesis when in fact it is false Based on the data they collected during the trial the research department found that a…
According to the Centers of Disease Control, about 22% of American young people between the ages of 12 and 19 are obese.A student claims that the students in his local schools are in better shape than the national average, so their proportion of obese students is less than 22%. Which are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this study? H0: p = 22%, HA: p < 22% H0: p ≠ 0, HA: p = 0 H0: p = 22%, HA: p > 22% H0: p = 22%, HA: p ≠ 22% Suppose that the result is to Fail to reject H0.Which is the proper conclusion? There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the students at his local schools have a smaller proportion of obese students. There is not enough information to answer this question. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the students at his local schools have a smaller proportion of obese students.
A study of young children was designed to increase their intake of whole-grain, rather than regular-grain, snacks. At the end of the study, the 79 children who participated in the study were presented with a choice between a regular-grain snack and a whole-grain alternative. The whole-grain alternative was chosen by 55 children. You want to examine the possibility that the children are equally likely to choose each type of snack. H0: p = 0.5Ha: p ≠ 0.5 Perform the significance test. (Use α = 0.01. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
Dreamfilms Studios boasts that its summer features are so good that at least half of all tickets sold one summer are for its films. A competing studio claims that less than half of all tickets sold are for Dreamfilms' movies. After the hypothesis test is completed, the conclusion is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the true percentage of tickets sold for Dreamfilms Studios' movies that summer was only 48%, was an error committed? If so, what type?
Prof. Johnson conducts a hypothesis test on whether the proportion of all UBC students who bike to school (denoted as p)�) equals 30%. Specifically, Prof.Johnson has H0:p=0.3�0:�=0.3 versus HA:p≠0.3��:�≠0.3. He obtains a P�-value of 0.01. On the other hand, Prof. Smith would like to test if there is sufficient evidence to support that p� is greater than 0.3 at the 10% significance level. Based on Prof. Johnson's result, will the null hypothesis of Prof. Smith's test be rejected?A. Yes.B. No.C. There is insufficient information to tell.
