- Hypothesis testing for a population proportion pi. I need your help to remember how to identify the parameter, null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, rejection rejion or p-value, and conclusion in word problems. For example... 1. Identify the parameter and set up null and alternative hypotheses. a. A researcher wants to establish more than 20% Minnesota residents do not have health insurance. b. A vending machine says there is at least 12 oz dispensed per coffee cup. I want to prove the machine is defective. c. A pollster wants to prove Mr. Joe Smith will lose the November election.arrow_forwardThe body weight of a healthy 3-month-old colt should be about ? = 68 kg. (a) If you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim that ? = 68 kg, what would you use for the null hypothesis H0? ? > 68 kg? < 68 kg ? = 68 kg? ≠ 68 kg (b) In Nevada, there are many herds of wild horses. Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of a wild Nevada colt (3 months old) is less than 68 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis H1? ? > 68 kg? < 68 kg ? = 68 kg? ≠ 68 kg (c) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is greater than 68 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis? ? > 68 kg? < 68 kg ? = 68 kg? ≠ 68 kg (d) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is different from 68 kg.

- 11% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 340 people from the inner city surveyed, 51 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of a = 0.01? a.
