A scientist claims that the average adult sleeps more than 7.5 hours each night. Suppose we have data from a random sample of 100 adults and wish to test this claim using hypothesis testing. Which of the following would be an appropriate null hypothesis, and on which side would the rejection region lie? Null hypothesis: µ< 7.5; rejection region on the left side Null hypothesis: μ> 7.5; rejection region on the right side Null hypothesis: μ ≥ 7.5; rejection region on the left side Null hypothesis: u≤ 7.5; rejection region on the right side

A published report claims that 35% of college students have used an online dating site or app. Believing this claimed value is too low, a researcher surveys a random sample of n = 420 college students about their experiences with online dating sites and apps. A total of 166 of the surveyed students indicate that they have used online dating sites or apps. Use this information to conduct a hypothesis test at a significance (or alpha) level of 0.05. What will the hypotheses be? Ho: Ha: 2. What is the sample proportion? Calculate this value below and round your answer to three decimal places. 3.Calculate the test statistic below, using the same formula that you used when answering Question 5.
Suppose we want to test the null hypothesis H0 : p = 0.60 against the alternative hypothesis Ha : p < 0. Suppose also that we observed 12 successes in a random sample of 20 subjects and the level of significance is 0.01. What is the observed test statistic for this test?
We want to conduct a hypothesis test of the claim that the population mean number of holding penalties during a college football game is less than 2.4penalties per game. So, we choose a random sample of games. The sample has a mean of 2.5penalties per game and a standard deviation of 0.8 penalties per game. For each of the following sampling scenarios, choose an appropriate test statistic for our hypothesis test on the population mean. Then calculate that statistic. Round your answers to two decimal places. (a) The sample has size 100and it is from a non-normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 0.69. O Z O T O It is unclear which test statistic to use. (b) The sample has size 18, and it is from a population with a distribution about which we know very little.

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 32,761. 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.

You are conducting a study to see if the probability of a true negative on a test for a certain cancer is significantly different from 0.85. You use a significance level of α=0.002α=0.002. H0:p=0.85H0:p=0.85 H1:p≠0.85H1:p≠0.85You obtain a sample of size n=415n=415 in which there are 361 successes.What is the p-value for this sample?

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?
Women athletes at a certain university have a long-term graduation rate of 67%. Over the past several years, a random sample of 38 women athletes at the school showed that 21 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than 67% ? Use a 1% level of significance.

An researcher has decided to use significant level α = 0.01 for her experiment. What is the consequence? Group of answer choices The probability of a Type II error is small. There is a small chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. The probability of a Type I error is large. If the null hypothesis is false, the experimenter will easily be able to reject it.
