Suppose an experiment finds that people taking a new herbal remedy get fewer colds than people taking a placebo. The results are statistically significant at the 0.01 level. Has the experiment proven that the herbal remedy works?
A single sample Z-test is to be done on a study about typhoons. Many believe that the
average number of typhoons that enter the Philippines each year is at least 18 (o ≥ 18).
Some climatologists, however, observe that the true average number of typhoons that enter
the Philippines each year is less than 18.
Science teachers from LPU collected the data about the typhoons that entered the
country each year since 1900 (n = 32). The sample mean is x = 17. The population with a
standard deviation of a = 1.5.
The researchers chose to use Single Sample Z-Test. They agreed on a Type I error rate
of a = 0.05.
24. State the Null and Alternative Hypotheses.
25. What is the Level of Confidence?
26. What is the critical value?. Hint: You will find it in the standard normal table.

28. What is the equivalent z-score of x = 17?
A. 1.5
C. 3.0
B. -3.77
D. -1.97

A researcher was doing a study for a new Coronavirus Drug and conducted a hypothesis test like this one:
H0: μμ = 15
Ha: μμ ≠≠ 15
a. What type of test is this?
two-tailed
left-tailed
right-tailed
b. She obtained a test statistic of -1.21, with a p-value of 0.245. So she concluded that her true mean must be equal to 15.
Is this interpretation correct?
Yes
