In a random sample of 80 Americans, 55% wished that they were rich. In a random sample of 100 Europeans, 48% wished that they were rich. At α=0.10α=0.10 is there a difference in the proportions?
What is your decision?
Accept the alternative hypothesis.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Reject the null hypothesis.
Accept the null hypothesis

TRUE OR FALSE
If a test value is in the critical region with a=0.01, it would still be in the critical region even if the alpha was changed to =0.05.
If a researcher obtains a test score of z=1.7 for a hypothesis test using =0.05, then the researcher should reject the null hypothesis for a right-tailed test. In addition, the researcher should also reject the null hypothesis for a two-tailed test.
The z test formula uses the sample standard deviation while the t test formula uses the population standard deviation.
The critical t value(s) depends on the degrees of freedom associated with the t test value.
A type I error occurs when a researcher unknowingly obtains an extreme non-representative example.
The null hypothesis should be rejected if the test value is -2.8, =0.01, and the test is left-tailed.
The variance of the standard normal distribution and the t-distribution is 1.
