Concept explainers
For Exercises 7 through 27, perform these steps.
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.
24. Medical Supply Sales According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately equal numbers of men and women are engaged in sales and related occupations. Although that may be true for total numbers, perhaps the proportions differ by industry. A random sample of 200 salespersons from the industrial sector indicated that 114 were men, and in the medical supply sector, 80 of 200 were men. At the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that the proportion of men in industrial sales differs from the proportion of men in medical supply sales?

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forward1. Explain the concept of a hypothesis test, and why it is used in research and science. 2. Conduct a hypothesis test, by executing the following steps: a. Identifying the correct type of test. b. Creating the two hypotheses. c. Organizing the information from the problem. d. Calculating any missing statistics. e. Finding the P-value on your calculator. f. Making the decision of the test. g. Writing a sentence which embodies your decision. 3. Differentiate between a 1-sided and 2-sided test. 4. Differentiate between a 1-proportion z-test and 2-proportion z-test.arrow_forwardA. Look for the definitions of the following terms related to hypothesis testing. 7. Margin of Error 8. Test Statisticarrow_forward
- TV Viewing. The A. C. Nielsen Company collects data on the TV viewing habits of Americans and publishes the information in Nielsen Report on Television. Suppose that you want to use a paired sample to decide whether the mean viewing times of married men and married women differ. a. identify the variable. b. identify the two populations. c. identify the pairs. d. identify the paired-difference variable. e. determine the null and alternative hypotheses. f. classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.arrow_forwardI need help on b, d, and e. What r-codes would I need to execute testing?arrow_forward1.Which is the alternative hypothesis? a. There is a significant difference between a person's age and the number of hours he or she sleeps. b. There is no significant relationship between a person's age and the number of hours he or she sleeps. c. There is a significant relationship between a person's age and the number of hours he or she sleeps. d. There is no significant difference between a person's age and the number of hours he or she sleeps. 2. What is the df? 3. What is the critical value from the table?arrow_forward
- In Exercises, hypothesis tests are proposed. For each hypothesis test, a.identify the variable.b.identify the two populations.c.identify the pairs.d.identify the paired-difference variable.e.determine the null and alternative hypotheses.f.classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed. TV Viewing. The A. C. Nielsen Company collects data on the TV viewing habits of Americans and publishes the information in Nielsen Report on Television. Suppose that you want to use a paired sample to decide whether the mean viewing times of married men and married women differ.arrow_forwardIdentify whether inferential statistics is applicable or not. Justify your answers by giving a logical explanation. An auditor of a government office wants to assess what proportion of experiment records were done correctly. Instead of going over 10,000 records, she decides to sample the first 100 records on her desk, and notices that 97 of them were done well. She concludes that 97% of all the records given to her were done well.arrow_forwardConsider a question one could have come across in college, career, or personal life. Describe and apply the five steps below. Five Step Process for Hypothesis Testing: Step 1: State the hypothesis to be tested. Step 2: Specify the decision rule. Step 3: Collect data and calculate necessary statistics to test the hypothesis. Step 4: Make a decision. Step 5: Take action based on the decision. An example: Step 1: State the hypothesis to be tested. Ho: I will go to class today, Ha: I will not go to class today. Step 2: Specify the decision rule. If there is a "high" probability of rain, I will not go to class. If P(rain) ≤0.70, I will go to class (Fail to Reject Ho). Step 3: Collect data and calculate necessary statistics to test the hypothesis. Watch the Weather Channel, check local news, check iphone app to collect data. Statistics for today: Weather Channel: P(rain)=0.50 Local News: P(rain)=0.40 iphone app: P(rain)=0.65 Step 4: Make a decision. All of the statistics…arrow_forward
- Gaynor Advertising conducted a survey to determine individual’s main source of news as well astheir educational level. 2500 individuals were surveyed and the results are given in the attached table. a. State both the null and alternative hypotheses. b. Provide the decision rule for making this decision. Use an alpha level of 5%. c. Show all of the work necessary to calculate the appropriate statistic. d. What conclusion are you allowed to draw? e. Would your conclusion change at the 10% level of significance? f. Confirm test results in part (c) using JASParrow_forwardAnswer the following problems. Apply the different steps in hypothesis testing. 1. AVS Company has been selling to retail customers in the Pasig City area. They advertise extensively on radio, print ads, and in the internet.
