You wish to test the claim that the average IQ score is less than 100 at the .01 significance level. You determine the hypotheses are: Ho: μ=100 H1:μ<100H You take a simple random sample of 79 individuals and find the mean IQ score is 98.3, with a standard deviation of 15.3. Let's consider testing this hypothesis two ways: once with assuming the population standard deviation is not known and once with assuming that it is known. Round to three decimal places where appropriate. Assume Population Standard Deviation is NOT known Assume Population Standard Deviation is 15 Test Statistic: t = Test Statistic: z = Critical Value: t = Critical Value: z = p-value: p-value: Conclusion About the Null: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis Conclusion About the Null: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis Conclusion About the Claim: There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the average IQ score is less…
A school district claims that the average salary of elementary school teachers in their district is more than the national average of $42,000. A sample of 30 elementary school teachers from that district have a mean salary $43,260. The standard deviation for the population is $5,230. At α = 0.05, test their claim that teachers in their district earn more than $42,000 per year.

Select the most appropriate response. It is claimed that the mean age of bus drivers in Chicago is 59.3 years. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis? Question 2 options: There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim µ = 59.3. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim p = 59.3. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim p = 59.3. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim u = 59.3.
Q1: A researcher was interested in the effect of exercise on stress levels. For the general population, the distribution of the Stress Battery Scale scores is normal with the mean of µ = 25 and the standard deviation of σ = 5. A sample of n = 100 participants was asked to exercise for three weeks and then reported their stress levels. The sample mean was ?X = 23. Conduct a hypothesis test and determine the effect of exercise. Use the two-tailed test α = .01 1.Type the null and research hypotheses in complete sentences. 2.Cut off points 3.Standard error and z-score -show your computation process 4.Your conclusion thoroughly.
Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test the hypothesis that the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month. A random sample of 15 Americans was found to consume an average of 18.2 ounces of ice cream last month. The standard deviation for this sample was 3.9 ounces. Breyers would like to set α = 0.10. The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the test statistic is A) more than the critical value, we can conclude that the average amount of ice cream consumed per month is not greater than 17 ounces. B) more than the critical value, we can conclude that the average amount of ice cream consumed per month is greater than 17 ounces. C) less than the critical value, we can conclude that the average amount of ice cream consumed per month is greater than 17 ounces. D) less than the critical value, we cannot conclude that the average amount of ice cream consumed per month is greater than 17…
The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 24 mpg on the highway. You suspect that the mpg is less for your car. The 44 trips on the highway that you took averaged 22.3 mpg and the standard deviation for these 44 trips was 4.2 mpg. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use (t-test for population mean, z-test for population proportion) The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0: (symbol) (symbol) ____ H1: (symbol) (symbol) ____ The test statistic (?,t,z) = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is (?, less than or equal to, more than) αα Based on this, we should (accept, reject, fail to reject) the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest that the sample mean is not significantly less than 24 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude…
Scores on an IQ test are normally distributed. A sample of 25 IQ scores had variance of 64. The developer of the test claims that the population standard deviation is 15. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to significance? Use α=0.05α=0.05 . Answer the following questions. (a) What is the parameter? . (input as "mean", "standard deviation", "variance" or "proportion") (b) Determine if the alternative hypothesis is "right", "left" or "two-tailed" test. (input as "right", "left" or "two-tailed") (c) Test by using a confidence interval. Round confidence interval to nearest thousandth. (e.g. 0.1345 would be entered as 0.135) between ( and ) (d) State conclusion.: There is (input as "sufficient" or "insufficient") to (input as "conclude" or "reject") to conclude that the population standard deviation of IQ test is 15.
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?
Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test the hypothesis that the average American consumes more than 16 ounces of ice cream per month. A random sample of 15 Americans was found to consume an average of 17.2 ounces of ice cream last month. The standard deviation for this sample was 3.9 ounces. Breyers would like to set alpha = 0.05.

You wish to test the following claim (H1H1) at a significance level of α=0.005. Ho:μ1=μ2 H1:μ1≠μ2You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. However, you also have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are not equal.
