c. Find the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.

8. Cost of Braces The average cost for teeth straightening with metal braces is approximately $5400. A nationwide franchise thinks that its cost is below that figure. A random sample of 28 patients across the country had an average cost of $5250 with a standard deviation of $629. At α = 0.025, can it be concluded that the mean is less than $5400?

Determine the first step of hypothesis testing, and explain the procedure and logic of this step. Choose the correct answer below.
A.
The first step is to determine the level of significance at which to conduct the hypothesis test. The conventional levels of significance used are 5% and 1%, which are described as the 0.05 significance level and the 0.01 significance level, respectively. When a sample score is so extreme that researchers reject the null hypothesis, the result is said to be statistically significant.
B.
The first step is to restate the question as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations. Since researchers are interested in the results in terms of the population, it is useful to restate the research question in terms of populations. The research hypothesis represents the research question being asked.
C.
The first step is to determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution. The overall logic of hypothesis…

According to the Center for Disease Control website, in 2011 at least 18% of high school students have smoked a cigarette. An Introduction to Statistics class in Davies County, KY conducted a hypothesis test at the local high school (a medium sized–approximately 1,200 students–small city demographic) to determine if the local high school’s percentage was lower. One hundred fifty students were chosen at random and surveyed. Of the 150 students surveyed, 82 have smoked. Use a significance level of 0.05 and using appropriate statistical evidence, conduct a hypothesis test and state the conclusions.arrow_forwardIn Exercises, hypothesis tests are proposed.
