The manager of a milk store wants to know if the milk in the 1-gallon cartons actually averages 1-gallon. State null and alternative hypotheses.
Question 5
"Trydint" bubble-gum company claims that 5 out of 10 people prefer their gum to "Eklypse" and they want to
test if this value is different.
The null and alternative hypothesis in symbols would be:
O Ho:
Ο Η: μ = 0.5
%3D
H1:µ > 0.5
O Ho:p = 0.5
H1:p > 0.5
O Ho:p = 0.5
H1:p < 0.5
%3D
O Ho:p = 0.5
H1:p + 0.5
%3D
Ο Η: μ = 0.5
O Ho: H
%3D
H1:µ # 0.5
O Ho:µ = 0.5
H1 : µ < 0.5
The null hypothesis in words would be:
O The proportion of people in a sample that prefers Trydint gum is 0.5.
The proportion of all people that prefer Trydint gum is less than 0.5.
O The proportion of all people that prefer Trydint gum is 0.5
O The average of people that prefer Trydint gum is 0.5.
The average of people that prefer Trydint gum is not 0.5.
The proportion of people in a sample that prefer Trydint gum is not 0.5
OThe proportion of all people that prefer Trydint gum is greater than 0.5.
21. A high school statistics class (over several instructors and years) typically gets an
average of u=3.9 scores out of 5 on an Advanced Placement (AP) exam. Over the recent
several years, one instructor believes that his students' scores were higher. He would like
to test this hypothesis. Write the competing hypotheses, Ho and H1.

- 10.arrow_forwardChoose one problem, formulate the null and alternative hypothesis.arrow_forwardLast Spring, a couple of my Oxbow students, Izzy and Hannah, studied the how long it took customers at Hannafords to get through a self-checkout line compared to waiting through the Quick Checkout (12 items or less) register. Hannafords' management claims the mean wait time for the self-checkout is less than the established mean wait time of 4.7 minutes using the Quick Checkout line. They allowed the sisters to do some data collection, perform a statistical analysis on their results and report back to them about what they found. Management is interested in increasing the number of self-checkout registers if there is evidence that the registers decrease customers wait times. They will not need as many people working register and save in payroll costs. Hannah and Izzy collected data during three 5pm - 5:30pm times on random days. The results from 40 customers had a mean wait time of 4.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.6 minute. Keep this information for use in the next problem.…arrow_forward
- 28. In conducting a hypothesis, what is the goal of a researcher? Note: Like a prosecutor, a researcher collects evidence to "prosecute" the assumption (the null hypothesis). Put it another way: the researcher collects evidence to show that the alternative hypothesis is TRUE. Notice that we don't use phrases such as "collects evidence for the null hypothesis" or "show that the null hypothesis is true". Why? Because we already assume that the null hypothesis is true (similar to the idea that "everyone is presumed innocent" under the Court of Law), a. Collects evidence against H, (evidence against the assumption) (evidence for the researcher's belief) (evidence for the assumption) b. Collects evidence for Ha c. Collects evidence for H, с. d. Both a and b. 29. What is true about t distributions? Hint: See p 413 a. There is more than onet distribution (i.e. more than one t density curve) and they are all symmetric and centered at 0. b.

The degree of certainty required to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis is 0.05. D. The degree of certainty required to reject both of the null and alternative hypotheses is 0.05. 2. JIn a certain hypothesis testing procedure the rejection region is z< -1.96. What does this mean? A.
