- True/false Questions: Decide whether the following statements are true or false. (3p) a. A normal distribution will usually have outliers. b. A z-score represents the number of standard deviations above or below the mean. c. The mean of the sampling distribution of the means is equal to the mean of the population from which the values were sampled.arrow_forwardEvaluate the following statement made by an auditor: “I took arandom sample and derived a 90 percent confidence interval of $800,000 to $900,000.That means that the true population value will be between $800,000 and $900,000, 90percent of the time.”arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
- Sample Size Determination. For each of the following independent cases, use AICPA sample size tables to identify the missing value(s). Control 1 2 3 4 Risk of overreliance 5.0% 5.0% 10.0% (d) Expected population deviation rate 1.25% 2.5% (c) 1.25% Tolerable rate of deviation 7.0% (b) 6.0% 6.0% Sample size (a) 68 153 78arrow_forwardK Conduct a test at the α = 0.05 level of significance by determining (a) the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) the test statistic, and (c) the P-value. Assume the samples were obtained independently from a large population using simple random sampling. Test whether p₁> P2. The sample data are x₁ = 116, n₁ = 244, x2 = 132, and n₂ = 313. (a) Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses below. OA. Ho P1 P2 versus H₁: P1 P2 OB. Ho P₁ P2 versus H₁: P₁ P2 OD. Ho p₁ =0 versus H₁:.p₁ #0 (b) Determine the test statistic. Zo= (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (c) Determine the P-value. The P-value is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the result of this hypothesis test? OA. Do not reject the null hypothesis because there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that p₁ #p2- OB. Do not reject the null hypothesis because there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that p₁ P2- OD. Reject the null hypothesis because there is sufficient evidence to conclude that p₁…arrow_forwardIn a survey, the planning value for the population proportion is p* = 0.25.

From your sample of n = 20, you determine that SSR = 80 and SSE 20. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. a. What is the value of FSTAT? State the hypotheses to test. Choose the correct answer below. OA H B₁50 H₁ B₁0 OC. Ho B₁ #0 H₁ = B₁ = 0 = 72 (Round to the nearest integer as needed) FSTAT = b. At the a=0.05 level of significance, what is the critical value? The critical value is 4.41 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. Based on your answers to (3) and (b), what statistical decision should you make? A. Reject H. There is no evidence that there is a relationship between X and Y. OB. Do not reject H. There is no evidence that there is a relationship between X and Y. OC. Do not reject H,. There is evidence that there is a relationship between X and Y D. Reject H. There is evidence that there is a relationship between X and Y. d.

Draw the sampling distribution, and use it to determine each of the following: A. The value of the standardized test statistic: Note: For the next part, your answer should use interval notation. An answer of the form (-00, a) is expressed (-infty, a), an answer of the form (b, x) is expressed (b, infty), and an answer of the form (-00, a) U (b, c) is expressed (-infty, a)U(b, infty). B.
