Basic Computation: Setting Hypotheses Suppose you want to test the claim that a population
- (a) State the null hypothesis.
- (b) State the alternate hypothesis if you have no information regarding how the population mean might differ from 30.
- (c) State the alternate hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may be greater than 30.
- (d) State the alternate hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may not be as large as 30.

A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling
legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion.
(a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed.
(b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support
labeling legislation for GMOs.
(c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).
...
(a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available?
n =
(Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)
The table available below shows the costs per mile (in cents) for a sample of automobiles. At a = 0.05, can you conclude that at least one mean

- Question: A company launches two different marketing campaigns to promote the same product in two different regions. After one month, the company collects the sales data (in units sold) from both regions to compare the effectiveness of the campaigns.
