The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.8 auto accidents per day with a variance of 0.0016 . The actuaries of the company claim that the variance of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.0016 . Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test. H0 : H1 :

To identify the correct Z(critical), it is important to determine whether the hypothesis test is one-tailed or two-tailed. The decision between a one- and two-tailed hypothesis is based on the researcher's expectations about the population from which the sample was selected. Many people believe that millennials are having more sex than people during the sexual revolution. You wonder whether the cohort currently in their twenties had sex at an earlier age than older generations. Assume that the the average age of first sexual intercourse is 17.4 years. You obtain a sample that yields a sample mean of X = 15.9 years. Let u denote the average age of first sexual intercourse. Formulate your null and research hypotheses by selecting the appropriate values in the dropdown menus that follow. Ho: (H₁: The test you conduct is test. Note: A one-tailed test is described as a lower-tailed test if the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic in the lower tail of its…
The human resources department of a large investment bank announced that the number of people it interviews monthly has a mean of 105, with a variance of 262.44. The management of the bank suspects that the variance exceeds 262.44. Suppose that the management wants to take a small sample of months and carry out a hypothesis test to see if it's suspicious have support. State the thanks hypothesis Ho and alternative hypothesis H1 that it would use for this test.
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain company are approximately normally distributed. The company announced that the mean breaking strength is 2140 pounds with a variance of 33,672.25. A consumer protection agency claims that the actual variance is higher. Suppose that the consumer agency wants to carry out a hypothesis test to see if its claim can be supported. State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H, they would use for this test. Ho: 0 H: 0 Họ: O

Over the years, a sushi restaurant has had a mean customer satisfaction rating of 72.5 with a variance of 24.7. The owner has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to see if using a new menu will have any effect on the variance, o“. To do so, you survey a random sample of 19 customers who ordered from the new menu. For the customers surveyed, the variance of ratings is 44.3. Under the assumption that the customer ratings using the new menu follow a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test. Find x, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places.
We are running a hypothesis test to see if weight of African zebras is significantly different than that of Arabian horses. We assume weight in both populations is normally distributed and both populations have the same population variance in weight which is unknown to us, so we use the sample variances to estimate the standard error for our calculations. We have a sample of size 9 for the African zebras with mean 650 and a sample of size 16 for the Arabian horses with mean 660. If the pooled variance is 225, then what is the absolute value of the standardized test statistic for our data?
A horticulturist at a large garden nursery wants to compare two different mist blowers for consistent application. She wants to use the mist blower with the smaller variance, which means more consistent application. She wants to test that the variance of Type A (0.087 gal.2) is significantly greater than the variance of Type B (0.073 gal.2) using a = 0.05. (Ensure you use the following steps: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Test statistic, Critical value, Decision with reason, Interpretation).

We assume weight in both populations is normally distributed and both populations have the same population variance in weight which is unknown to us, so we use the sample variances to estimate the standard error for our calculations.

suppose that we have disjoint normal populations A and B and we want to find the standard error estimate for estimating the difference in their means. We have an IRS from A of size 8 with variance 25 and an IRS from B of size 9 with variance 16. What is the resulting standard error estimate if we assume both populations have the same population variance?
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?
