alternative (H1) hypothesis.
6. Decide whether you would reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis in the following situations:
Example 1:
A study in 2000 found that 85 out of 100 Virginia residents own a car. A simple random
sample of 2500 people from Virginia was gathered, and the proportion of people who own a
car was found to be 0.84. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.05 significance le vel (a) to test
the claim that the proportion of car owners in Virginia is now less than 85%.

- A sample of n = 40 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 30, and a treatment is administered to the sample. What is expected if the treatment has an effect? a. The sample mean should be very different from 30 and should lead you to reject the null hypothesis. b. The sample mean should be very different from 30 and should lead you to fail to reject the null hypothesis. c. The sample mean should be close to 30 and should lead you to reject the null hypothesis. d. The sample mean should be close 30 and should lead you to fail to reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardWhy is the null hypothesis H0: μ = 0?arrow_forwardWhich is the correct null hypothesis based on this statement: People with diabetes have higher systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes? People with diabetes have lower systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes. People with diabetes have equal systolic blood pressure when compared to people without diabetes.

- A researcher is wondering whether the drinking habits of adults in a certain region of a country are different than those in the general adult population. Suppose a recent study states that the proportion of adults in the general population who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month is 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is p+ 0.26. The researcher collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. Are the conditions for proceeding with a one-proportion z-test satisfied? If not, which condition is not satisfied? O a. Conditions are not satisfied; the researcher did not collect a random sample. O b. Conditions are not satisfied; the population of interest is not large enough to assume independence. Oc. Conditions are not satisfied; the sample size is not large enough. O d. All conditions are satisfied.arrow_forwardYou conduct a two-sided hypothesis test (α= 0.05), and obtain a Z-score equal to -2.3 (N is large). Which of the following statements are ALWAYS true? I. You reject the null hypothesis H0 II. The resulting p-value is 0.0215 III. You have made a Type I Error.arrow_forwardThe Statistics Games are played by a large number of students across the county. Last year, 32% of Clayton State students participated in the Games. You wonder: “Has the proportion increased this year?”. To find out, you take a random sample of 250 CSU students and ask them if they participated in the Games this year. You find that 38% did. Write the null and alternate hypotheses.
