explain the importance of the Hypothesis test in a business setting, and give an example of a situation where it is helpful in business decision making.
A college wants to estimate what students typically spend on textbooks. A report fromthe college bookstore observes that textbooks range in price from $22 to $186. Toobtain a 95% confidence level for a confidence interval estimate to plus or minus $10,how many students should the college survey? (We may estimate the populationstandard deviation as (range) ÷ 4.)
In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions.
Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuous.
Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer.

At a shooting range, instructors can determine if a shooter is consistently missing the target because of the gun sight or because of the shooter's ability. If a gun's sight is off, the variance of the distances between the shots and the center of the shot pattern will be small (even if the shots are not in the center of the target). A student claims that it is the sight that is off, not his aim, and wants the instructor to confirm his claim. If a skilled shooter fires a gun at a target multiple times, the distances between the shots and the center of the shot pattern, measured in centimeters (cm), will have a variance of less than 0.33. After the student shoots 28 shots at the target, the instructor calculates that the distances between his shots and the center of the shot pattern, measured in cm, have a variance of 0.25. Does this evidence support the student's claim that the gun's sight is off? Use a 0.025 level of significance. Assume that the…arrow_forward
- The National Academy of Science reported that 38% of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 38%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 279 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 123 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson's claim that the percentage is no longer 38 % ? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Compute the value of the test statistic.
