Ch9 Exercise: Hypothesis Testing 1) A researcher claims that less than 62% of voters favor gun control. State the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis for a test of significance. a. H 0 : p ≤ 0.62 H a : p > 0.62 b. H 0 : p < 0.62 H a : p ≥ 0.62 c. H 0 : p > 0.62 H a : p ≤ 0.62 d. H 0 : p ≥ 0.62 H a : p < 0.62 2) In 1990, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 510. Five years later, a teacher wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average math SAT score of students at the school has changed from the 1990 mean of 510. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for the study described. a. H 0 : ≤ 510 H a : > 510 b. H 0 : ≥510 H a : < 510 c. H 0 : = 510 H a : ≠ 510 d. H 0 : ≥ 510 H a : < 510 3) A long-distance telephone company claims that the mean duration of long-distance telephone calls originating in one town was not equal to 9.4 minutes, which is the average for the state. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses for the test described. a. H 0 : ≤9.4 H a : > 9.4 b. H 0 : ≠ 9.4 H a : = 9.4 c. H 0 : = 9.4 H a : ≠ 9.4 d. H 0 : ≥ 9.4 H a : < 9.4
