How can hypothesis testing be an aid in the decision making process?
You perform a hypothesis test and reject the null hypothesis in favor of an alternative hypothesis at the 5%level of significance. What can you say about a significance test at the 1% significance level?
Callaway is thinking about entering the golf ball market. The company will make a profit if its market share is more than 20%. A market survey indicates that 140 of 624 golf ball purchasers will buy a Callaway golf ball. a. Is this enough evidence to persuade Callaway to enter the golf ball market? b. How would you make the decision if you were Callaway management? Would you use hypothesis testing?
