- Question :)arrow_forwardAn article in the San Jose Mercury News stated that students in the California state university system take 4.5 years, on average, to finish their undergraduate degrees. Dr. Lewis believes the mean time for students at Clayton State University is longer than this average. A survey of 49 graduates from Clayton State had a mean time of 5.1 years to complete their Bachelor's degree, with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 years. Correctly identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this study:arrow_forward‡ Given the null hypothesis Ho: x' = Xo, the alternative hypothesis H₁: x' xo, and the observed level of significance as 0.25, which of the following set of p-values would all lead to a rejection of the null hypothesis? A. {0.2, 0.1, 0.01} B. {0.5, 0.1, 1.0} C. {0.8, 0.1, 0.01} D. {0.98, 0.9, 1.2} E. {4.5, 0.15, 0.61}arrow_forward
- 'eriod: 1. A random sample of 100 voters in a community produced 59 voters in favor of Candidate A.

In a test of H: p = 0.7 against H: p* 0.7, a sample of size 80 produces z = 0.8 for the valuearrow_forwardIf P(AUB)=0.7, P(AUB')=0.9 what is P(A)?arrow_forward- (Sec. 6.1) Using a long rod that has length µ (unknown), you are going to lay out a square plot in which the length of each side is µ. Thus the area of the plot will be µ². However, because you do not know the value of µ, you decide to make n independent measurements X1,...,X, of the length. Assume that each X; has mean µ and variance o². (a) Show that X² is not an unbiased estimator for the area of the square plot µ². [Hint: for any rv Y, E[Y²] = V[Y] + E[Y]². Apply this for Y = X.] (b) For what value of k is the estimator X² – kS² unbiased for µ²?arrow_forward
- Question 10arrow_forwardLet μ denote the average resting heart rate for a healthy female. For a large-sample z test of Ho: μ = 80 versus H: μ< 80, find the P-value associated with each of the given values of the z test statistic. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

- (c) In an experiment, the weight of the subatomic particles was measured repeatedly, producing the following values: 45, 47, 43, 54, 38, 45 and 58 mg. By using the statistical method, report the best estimated value of weight of the particles within uncertainty (+1 standard deviation). Where E(wavg-w1) the uncertainty in weight is ow and standard deviation, w = N is the number N-1 of trials.arrow_forwardThe number of men and women among professors two academic areas (Science or Humanities) from a simple random sample of small colleges were counted, and the results are shown in the table below.
