For Exercises 2 through 12, perform each of these steps. Assume that all variables are normally or approximately
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value(s).
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.
Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified.
8. Overweight Dogs A veterinary nutritionist developed a diet for overweight dogs. The total volume of food consumed remains the same, but one-half of the dog food is replaced with a low-calorie “filler” such as canned green beans. Six overweight dogs were randomly selected from her practice and were put on this program. Their initial weights were recorded, and they were weighed again after 4 weeks. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the dogs lost weight?

Choose the correct answer below. OA. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who retire at age 65 is equal to 62% when it is actually false. OB. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who retire at age 65 is equal to 62% when it is actually false. OC. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who retire at age 65 is equal to 62% when it is actually true. OD.
