- The average French person drinks approximately 30 gallons of soda a year. Some French legislators are recommending instituting a sales tax on soda to raise revenue and fight obesity. Will a sales tax reduce the mean amount of soda consumption? Suppose that a sales tax on soda will be added in a random sample of communities to measure the impact on soda consumption. State the null and alternative hypothese Suppose sample results give a p-value of 0.2. State your general conclusion (reject the null or fail to reject the null). Then state your conclusion based on the context of this situation. Now suppose sample results give a p-value of 0.018. State your general conclusion (reject the null or fail to reject the null). Then state your conclusion based on the context of this situation.arrow_forwardA random sample of 40 companies with assets over $10 million was surveyed and asked to indicate their industry and annual computer technology expense.

The population standard deviation of all homes for sale was $11,000. Use the p-value approach to conduct a full hypothesis test (all steps) that can be used to determine whether the mean asking price is significantly less than $255,000. Let α = .10.arrow_forwardA z-test is to be performed for a population mean. Express the decision criterion for the hypothesis test in terms of x. That is, determine for what values of x the null hypothesis would be rejected. ala After training intensively for six months, John hopes that his mean time to run 100 meters has decreased from last year's mean time of 11.8 seconds. He performs a hypothesis test to determine whether his mean time has decreased. Preliminary data analyses indicate that it is reasonable to apply a z-test.
