Question
- A claim is made that 60.4% of college students earn their undergraduate degree in four years. A college administrator believes this claim is incorrect. He would like to test the null hypothesis that = 0.604 versus the alternative hypothesis that ≠ 0.604. Upon gathering data from a large random sample of college graduates, he obtains a test statistic of 1.8. From this information, what should we conclude?
- The null hypothesis would be rejected if the significance level were set at 0.01, 0.05, or 0.10.
- The null hypothesis would be rejected if the significance level were set at 0.10 or 0.05, but would not be rejected if the significance level were set at 0.01.
- The null hypothesis would be rejected if the significance level were set at 0.10, but would not be rejected if the significance level were set at 0.05 or 0.01.
- The null hypothesis would not be rejected at significance levels of 0.01, 0.05, or 0.10.
- The sample proportion must have been smaller than the claimed population proportion.

- A study suggests that the 48% of 25 year olds have gotten married. You believe that this is incorrect and decide to collect your own sample for a hypothesis test. From a random sample of 321 25 year olds, you find that 143 of them are married. Test the claim that proportion of 25 year olds have gotten married is different than what was reported. Use a 5% significance level. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) Ho: Select an answer ✓ H₁: Select an answer ✓ ? v Based on the hypotheses, compute the following: Test Statistic = ? v p-value = Based on the above we choose to Select an answer The correct summary would be: Select an answer year olds have gotten married is different than what was reported value of 48%. ✓that the proportion of 25arrow_forwardSuppose 300 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 78 of them developed nausea.

The manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method and wants to perform a significance test to determine whether the mean lifetime has increased as a result. The hypotheses are: null: μ = 9.5 hours alternative: u 9.5 hours Suppose that the results of a significance test result in a rejection of the null hypothesis. If we later find out that the true population running time was actually equal to 10.5, what error has been committed? Type I and Type II error Type II error no error Type I errorarrow_forward
- A genetic experiment... need help finding the test statistic and p value , if the p value is reject or fail to rejectarrow_forwardAccording to a book published in 2011, 45% of the undergraduate students in the United States show almost no gain in learning in their first two years of college (Richard Arum et al., Academically Adrift, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2011). A recent sample of 1540 undergraduate students showed that this percentage is 37%. Can you reject the null hypothesis at a 2.5% significance level in favor of the alternative that the percentage of undergraduate students in the United States who show almost no gain in learning in their first two years of college is currently lower than 45%. Use both the p-value and the critical-value approaches. Round your answers for the observed value of z and the critical value of z to two decimal places, and the p-value to four decimal places. Zobserved = p-value = Critical value = i Hence we can conclude that the percentage of undergraduate students in the U.S. who show almost no gain in learning in their fırst two years of college is currently 45%.arrow_forwardProf. Johnson conducts a hypothesis test on whether the proportion of all UBC students who bike to school (denoted as p) equals 30%. Specifically, Prof.Johnson has H0:p=0.3 versus HA:p≠0.3. He obtains a P-value of 0.01. On the other hand, Prof. Smith would like to test if there is sufficient evidence to support that p is greater than 0.3 at the 10% significance level. Based on Prof. Johnson's result, will the null hypothesis of Prof. Smith's test be rejected? A. There is insufficient information to tell.B. Yes.C. No.arrow_forward
