An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new cholesterol medicine. Fifteen people were treated with medicine X and 15 with medicine Y for a month, then the subjects' cholesterol level was measured. A
significance test was conducted at the a = 0.01 level for the difference in the means of the cholesterol levels between medicine X and medicine Y. The test resulted in t = 2.73 and p = 0.003. If the alternative
hypothesis in question was Ha: px - μy ‡ 0, where µx equals the mean cholesterol level for subjects taking medicine X and μy equals the mean cholesterol level for subjects taking medicine Y, what conclusion can be
drawn?
O There is not a significant difference in mean cholesterol level when using medicine X and medicine Y.
O There is sufficient evidence that there is a difference in mean cholesterol level when using medicine X and medicine Y.
O There is sufficient evidence that medicine X lowers cholesterol levels more than medicine Y.
O The proportion of subjects who…
A popular musician believes an increase in the number of times songs are listened to via a streaming service leads to an increase in recording sales. The musician’s recording company selected 50 songs at random and used the data to test the claim that there is a positive linear relationship between the number of times a song is listened to and recording sales. The following hypotheses were used to test the claim.
H0:β1=0
Ha:β1>0
The test yielded a t-value of 1.592 with a corresponding p-value of 0.059. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value?
A. If the alternative hypothesis is true, the probability of observing a test statistic of 1.592 or smaller is 0.059.
B. If the alternative hypothesis is true, the probability of observing a test statistic of 1.592 or greater is 0.059.
C. If the null hypothesis is true, the probability of observing a test statistic of 1.592 or greater is 0.059.
D. If the null hypothesis is true, the probability of observing a…
Let Y = β0 + β1x + E be the simple linear regression model. What is the interpretation of the least squares estimate for β0?
Select one:
a.
It is an estimate of the expected value of the response variable Y when the explanatory variable X is zero.
b.
It is an estimate of the change in the expected value of the explanatory variable X for every unit increase in the response variable Y.
c.
It is an estimate of the change in the expected value of the response variable Y for every unit increase in the explanatory variable X.
d.
It is an estimate of the expected value of the explanatory variable X when the response variable Y is zero.
