Chapter 12.1, Problem 12E
A certain genetic characteristic of a particulai plant can appear in one of three forms (phenotypes).
A researcher has developed a theory, according to which the hypothesized proportions are p1 = .25, p2 = .50, and p3 = .25. A random sample of 200 plants yields X2 = 4.63.
a. Carry out a test of the null hypothesis that the theory is correct, using level of significance α = .05.
b. Suppose that a random sample of 300 plants had resulted in the same value of X2. How would your analysis and conclusion differ from those in Part (a)?

An engineer is comparing voltages for two types of batteries (K and Q) using a sample of 35 type K batteries and a sample of 44 type Q batteries.
The type K batteries have a mean voltage of 8.56, and the population standard deviation is known to be 0.565. The type Q batteries have a mean
voltage of 8.74, and the population standard deviation is known to be 0.307. Conduct a hypothesis test for the conjecture that the mean voltage for
these two types of batteries is different. Let µj be the true mean voltage for type K batteries and µ2 be the true mean voltage for type Q batteries.
Use a 0.05 level of significance.
Step 3 of 4: Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis Ho. Round the numerical portion of your answer to two decimal places.
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 106 traffic fatalities in a
certain region results in 48 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the a= 0.01 level of significance?

A comparison between species: Biologists wish to compare the prevalence of a genetic mutation across
two species of space aliens. In a sample of 6 space aliens of Species I, 0.6% had the mutation while in a
sample of 14 space aliens of Species II, 1.1% showed the mutation. Is there significant evidence to suggest a
difference in the prevalence of the mutation across the two species? Conduct a hypothesis test at a
significance level of a = 0.01.
a) The hypotheses for this test are:
O Họ: PII = 0.006
Hạ: PII = 0.006
O Họ: PI - PII = 0
Hạ: PI - PII 0
What is the test statistic for this test?
test statistic =

What is the p-value for this test?
p-value =

The decision reached is
O Fail to reject Họ
O Reject Ho and accept Ha
As such, the final conclusion is that
O The prevalence of the mutation is the same for both species.
O There is significant evidence that suggests no difference in the prevalence…
