Use a hypothesis test to test the given claim. A large software company gives job applicants a test of programming ability, and the mean for the test has been 160 in the past. Twenty-five applicants are randomly selected from one large university and they produce a mean score of 165, with a standard deviation of 13. At a significance level of 0.05, does this indicate that the sample comes from a population with a mean score greater than 160? O A. No. With a P-value of 0.0664, we fail to reject the null hypothesis of p=160. O B. Yes. With a P-value of 0.0024, we reject the null hypothesis of p#160. OC. No. With a P-value of 0.9336, we fail to reject the null hypothesis of µ=160. O D. Yes. With a P-value of 0.0332, we reject the null hypothesis of p=160. O E. No. With a P-value of 0.9668, we fail to reject the null hypothesis of un160

Justine is an analyst for a sleep study center. She believes that the average adult in a certain city spends more than 7.2 hours sleeping daily. To test this claim, she selects a random sample of 63 adults from the city. The following is the data from this study: The alternative hypothesis Ha:μ>7.2. The sample mean number of hours slept per night by the 63 adults is 7.52 hours. The sample standard deviation is 1.14 hours. The test statistic is calculated as 2.23. Using the information above and the portion of the t− table below, choose the correct p− value and interpretation for this hypothesis test.

A veterinarian wants to perform a study at a local animal shelter where 200 dogs need training on behavior modification. The purpose of the study would be to determine if using a firm voice during training for 10 minutes improves a dog's learning behavior compared to not speaking during training for 10 minutes. Part A: Describe an appropriate design for the study. Part B: The hypotheses for this study are as follows: Ho: There is no difference in the mean improvement of dogs during behavior modification for either treatment. Ha: The mean improvement of dogs during behavior modification is greater for the firm voice treatment. The shelters will allow trainers to use a firm voice during training if the null hypothesis is rejected. What are the possible Type I and II errors? Describe the consequences of each in the context of this study and discuss which type you think is more serious.n
The lecturer are concerned that students who enrolled for the course this semester are spending more time playing online games than revising for their upcoming test. In order to pass the test, students need to spend at least 6 hours per week on the course materials. They conducted a survey of 120 students from Section 10G and 15P for which the result shows that the mean time they spent studying for the course in a week is 5.7667 hours with a standard deviation of 1.6487 hours. Using the critical value z0.025 =1.96 , perform hypothesis testing for mean to test whether or not students spent at least 6 hours weekly to study for the course.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Air Travel Consumer Report, the nation’s 12 largest airlines recorded an on-time arrival percentage of 77.4% in 2001. Of interest is to estimate the mean delay time for the 22.6% of all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013. A simple random sample of 28 late arriving flights was selected, and the mean delay time of this sample of 28 flights was 14.2 minutes, with a sample standard deviation of s= 6.4 minutes. Use this information to calculate and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean delay time for all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013.

A manufacturer advertises that the average life of batteries produced by his firm is at least 12 months. The consumer board disagrees, and claims that the average life of the batteries is less than 12 months. The consumer board test a random sample of 9 batteries and find that the mean life is 10.6 months with a standard deviation of 2. The consumer board's alternative hypothesis is: A. The average life of the population of batteries is 12 months. B. The average life of the population of batteries is less than 12 months. C. The average life of the population of batteries is more than 12 months. D. The average life of the population of batteries is at least 12 monthsThe manufacturer of 'Road King' tyres claim that their tyres last an average of 70,000km or more. The Consumer Board suspects that this claim may be false (they have received some complaints) and decide to test the manufacturer's claim. The Consumer Board took a sample of size 500 from the population. They ran the…
Prices of basic commodities are often greatly affected by typhoons. During the aftermath of recent typhoon, the prices of tilapia were reported to have been sold at ₱20 – ₱25 more per kilogram at local wet markets. However, the price was back to its normal mean price at ₱100 per kilo one week after. If a random sample of 10 tilapia sales transactions from local wet markets have prices (in pesos per kilo) of 107, 115, 130, 95, 100, 105, 98, 116, 104, 100. Assuming that the tilapia prices are normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to say that the mean price of tilapia in these markets is greater than ₱100? Use a 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses: Ho: ________ (symbols) Ho: _______________________________ (statement) Ha: _________ (symbols) Ha: _______________________________ (statement)

A special academic program for skilled students conduct an admission exam to select their new cohort. The admission exam is known to have a mean score of 66. An examiner thinks that the actual mean score for the most recent applicants is lower than 66. He randomly samples the scores of 18 recent applicants and obtains the average scores as 62.0 with a standard deviation of 8.7. He performs a hypothesis test using a 5% level of significance to reach an appropriate conclusion. a. Calculate the value of the the appropriate test statistic for this test. Answer rounded to at least 2 decimal places. b. Determine the tabulated critical value for this test. Only write the absolute value (without +/- sign) Answer rounded to at least 3 decimal places. c. Determine the p-value for this test. Answer in exact fraction, or rounded to at least 4 decimal places.
