Write H0 and Ha For each of the following scenarios, define the parameter of interest and appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
- a. To motivate more fathers to take a parental leave, the government of Austria extended child care benefits for two more months if the father stays home for that time. Now, a study wants to investigate whether more fathers stayed home compared to the 15% before the incentive was available.
- b. To curb CO2 emissions, the government of Austria subsidized the purchase of green vehicles. Now, a study wants to investigate whether the average CO2 emissions from cars purchased last year has dropped from the 160 g/km of 5 years ago.
- c. The legal retirement age for female workers in Austria is 60. A study wants to assess whether the actual average retirement age of female workers is different from 60.

The owner has been told that she "must buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer. The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 3% chance of incurring 450 dollar damage, 4% chance of incurring 250 dollar damage, and 15% chance of 75 dollar damage. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value?

- 2. A study was undertaken at Virginia Tech to determine if fire can be used as a viable management tool to increase the amount of forage available to deer during the critical months in late winter and early spring. Calcium is a required element for plants and animals. The amount taken up and stored in plants is closely correlated to the amount present in the soil. It was hypothesized that a fire may change the calcium levels present in the soil and thus affect the amount available to deer. A large tract of land in the Fishburn Forest was selected for a prescribed burn. Soil samples were taken from 12 plots of equal area just prior to the burn and analyzed for calcium. Postburn calcium levels were analyzed from the same plots. These values, in kilograms per plot, are presented in the following table:arrow_forwardThe owner of a small deli is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling magazines.

- TABLE 10.2 A course can be taken for credit either by attending lecture sessions at fixed times and days, or by doing online sessions that can be done at the student's own pace and at those times the student chooses. The course coordinator wants to determine if these two ways of taking the course resulted in a significant difference in achievement as measured by the final exam for the course. Table 10.2 gives the scores on an exami- nation with 45 possible points for one group of n₁ = 9 students who took the course online, and a second group of n₂ = 9 students who took the course with conventional lectures. Do these data present sufficient evidence to indicate that the average grade for students who take the course online is significantly higher than for those who attend a conventional class?

Particularly hard hit are households with homes heated with propane or heating oil. Many of these households are spending twice as much to stay warm this winter compared to those who heat with natural gas or electricity. A representative sample of 500 households was taken to investigate if the type of heating influences whether or not a household is delinquent in paying its utility bill. The following table reports the results. (see image attached) a. What is the probability that a randomly selected household uses heating oil? b. What is the probability that a randomly selected household is delinquent in paying its utility bill? c. What is the probability that a randomly selected household uses heating oil and is delinquent in paying its utility bill? d.

Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure reading over 140 mm Hg systolic and/or over 90 mm Hg diastolic. Hypertension, if not corrected, can cause long-term health problems. In the college-age population (18-24 years), about 9.2% have hypertension. Suppose that a blood donor program is taking place in a college dormitory this week (final exams week). Before each student gives blood, the nurse takes a blood pressure reading. Of 190 donors, it is found that 26 have hypertension. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of students with hypertension during final exams week is higher than 9.2%?

But recently, the increases have slowed due to less inflation in health care prices and employees paying for a larger portion of health care benefits. A recent survey showed that 62% of employers are likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage this year relative to last year. Suppose the survey was based on a sample of 600 companies likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage this year relative to last year. At 95% confidence, compute the margin of error for the proportion of companies likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of companies likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage.

One particular professional association of investors conducts a weekly survey of its members to measure the percent who are bullish, bearish, and neutral on the stock market for the next six months. The survey results showed 38.2% bullish, 23.4% neutral, and 38.4% bearish. Assume these results are based on a sample of 300 members. (a) Over the long term, the proportion of bullish members is 0.39. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance to see if the current sample results show that bullish sentiment differs from its long term average of 0.39. What are your findings? Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the bullish sentiment differs from its long term average of 0.39.
