Chapter 9.2, Problem 18E
Using Critical Values to Reject or Not Reject. In Exercises 13–20, find the value of the standard score, z, and determine whether to reject the null hypothesis at a 0.05 significance level. The critical values can be found in Tables 9.1 and 9.2. Is the alternative hypothesis supported?

State whether the standardized test statistic t indicates that you should reject
the null hypothesis. Explain.
(a) t = -2.272
(b) t = 2.154
(c) t = 2.303
(d) t= -2.301
-to = -2.226
to = 2.226
Final Conclusions. In Exercises 25–28, use a significance level of α = 0.05 and use the given information for the following:
a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H0 or fail to reject H0)
b. Without using technical terms or symbols, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Original claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm. The hypothesis test results in a p-value of 0.3045.
A researcher selects a sample and administers a treatment for anxiety to the individuals in the sample. If the sample is used for a hypothesis test, what does the null hypothesis (H0) put forth about the treatment?
Group of answer choices
The treatment has an effect on anxiety.
The treatment divides each anxiety score by a constant.
The treatment multiplies each anxiety score by a constant.
The treatment has no effect on anxiety.
