Question

Transcribed Image Text:A blind taste test is conducted to determine which of two colas, Brand A or Brand B, individuals prefer. Individuals are randomly asked to drink one of the two types of cola first, followed by the
other cola, and then asked to disclose the drink they prefer. Results of the taste test indicate that 43 of 100 individuals prefer Brand A. Complete parts a through c.
Do not reject the null hypothesis for the values of po between 0.34 and 0.52 , inclusively.
(Type integers or decimals as needed.)
(b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of individuals who prefer Brand A.
The lower bound is
The upper bound is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Transcribed Image Text:(c) Suppose you changed the level of significance in conducting the hypothesis test to a = 0.01. What would happen to the range of values for Po for which the null
hypothesis is not rejected? Why does this make sense? Choose the correct answer below.
O A. The range of values would decrease because the corresponding confidence interval would decrease in size.
O B. The range of values would increase because the corresponding confidence interval would decrease in size.
OC. The range of values would decrease because the corresponding confidence interval would increase in size.
D. The range of values would increase because the corresponding confidence interval would increase in size.

- A Michigan study concerning preference for outdoor activities used a questionnaire with a six-point Likert-type response in which 1 designated "not important" and 6 designated "extremely important." A random sample of n1 = 44 adults were asked about fishing as an outdoor activity. The mean response was x1 = 4.9. Another random sample of n2 = 49 adults were asked about camping as an outdoor activity. For this group, the mean response was x2 = 4.1. From previous studies, it is known that ?1 = 1.5 and ?2 = 2.0. Does this indicate a difference (either way) regarding preference for camping versus preference for fishing as an outdoor activity? Use a 5% level of significance. Note: A Likert scale usually has to do with approval of or agreement with a statement in a questionnaire. For example, respondents are asked to indicate whether they "strongly agree," "agree," "disagree," or "strongly disagree" with the statement.arrow_forwardAn automotive company is conducting a survey concerning consumer buying preferences of a particular truck. The company wants to know whether the truck appearance, miles per gallon (MPG), or fixed price most influenced the consumer’s buying decision. A population sample of 500 individuals, both male and female, will be surveyed. State the null and alternative hypothesis if your were to test whether there is any difference in proportion using the three different criterion to purchase the given car based on gender.arrow_forwardAn LED light bulb manufacturer claims that the average lifespan of its 60-watt LED light bulbs is 27,000 hours. A corporate watchdog group is suspicious of the company's claim and thinks that the true average lifespan of the 60- watt LED light bulbs produced by the company may be less than the advertised 27,000 hours. The group collected and tested a random sample of 211 light bulbs and found the average lifespan of the sample was 26,941 hours. Use the p-value method to test the hypothesis that the mean lifespan of this brand of 60-watt LED light bulb is less than 27,000 hours, using a = 0.1. Assume the standard deviation of the lifespan of all such light bulbs is known to be 370 hours. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. Ho: ? H₁: ?
