Answer to Problem 17.19CYS

Correct answer:

Option (a): “True, of the test statistic taking a value as extreme as or more extreme than that actually observed is 0.011”.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

In the given problem, the P-value is 0.011. From the definition of P-value, the conclusion for P-value is the probability of the test statistic taking a value as extreme as or more extreme than that actually observed by assuming that H0 is true which is equal to 0.011.

Reason for the incorrect answers:

In the option (b), P-value gives the probability that representing less extreme than actually observed values. In option (c), P-value is computed by assuming H0 is false. Hence, the options (b) and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the correct option is (a): True, of the test statistic taking a value as extreme as or more extreme than that actually observed is 0.011.

The average miles per gallon for a sample of 40 cars of model SX last year was 32.1, with a population standard deviation of 3.8. A sample of 40 cars from this year’s model SX has an average of 35.2 mpg, with a population standard deviation of 5.4. Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for this car brand (this year’s model minus last year’s).Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for last year’s model minus this year’s. What does the negative difference mean?
