I seem to have missed a concept early in our class and now the following homework problem has left me lost. One Sample t-test 1. A professor wants to know whether her students’ GPAs differ from the entire student population at the University ( She records 20 of her students’ GPAs and compares the mean ( = 3.25, sd = 0.85) to the population, predicting that her students will have different GPAs than the University population. Using an alpha of .05, perform an appropriate t- test. Hypothesis: tthreshold= df = tobs = Conclusion:arrow_forwardYou are thinking about opening a restaurant and are searching for a good location. From research you have done, you know that the mean income of those living near the restaurant must be over $85,000 to support the type of upscale restaurant you wish to open. You decide to take a simple random sample of 50 people living near one potential location. Based on the mean income of this sample, you will perform a test of Ho : μ = $85,000 Haμ> $85,000 where is the true mean income in the population of people who live near the restaurant. Which of the following is not true regarding Type I and Type II errors in this setting? All of these statements are true. A possible consequence of a Type I error here is you may open your restaurant in a location where the residents will not be able to support it, so your restaurant may go out of business. A Type I error occurs when you find convincing evidence that the mean income of all residents near the restaurant exceeds $85,000 when in reality it does…arrow_forward
- A study was done to look at the relationship between number of lovers college students have had in their lifetimes and their GPAs. The results of the survey are shown below. Lovers 0 3 1 2 5 1 8 GPA 3.3 2.9 3.4 3.3 2.5 2.8 0.7 1. The p-value is: _____ (Round to four decimal places) 2. Use a level of significance of α=0.05 to state the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the context of the study (pick one). a. There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the number of lovers students have had in their lifetimes and their GPA. Thus, the regression line is useful. b. There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a student who has had more lovers will have a lower GPA than a student who has had fewer lovers. c. There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that a student who has had more lovers will have a lower GPA than a student who has had fewer lovers. d. There is statistically insignificant…arrow_forwardFor a special pre–New Year’s Eve show, a radio station personality has invited a small panel of prominent local citizens to help demonstrate to listeners the adverse effect of alcohol on reaction time.

- The old variety of a plant has 70% pink flowers. A new variety is developed. In a random sample of 93 plants from the new variety, 59 had pink flowers. Test the claim that the percent of plants with pink flowers for the new variety is different than 70%. Use a 0.10 level of significance. Question 6 options: DO NOT Reject H0 Using a 0.10 level of significance there is not evidence to say the proportion of pink flowers is different than 0.70 Reject H0 Using a 0.10 level of significance there is evidence to say the proportion of pink flowers is not different than 0.70arrow_forwardoptions for first to blanks : 1- between 0.05 and 0.20 /2- greater than 0.20 / 3- less than 0.2 options for last blank : 1- handrubbing with alcohol / 2- handwashing with soaparrow_forwardIn a test of H0: p = 0.40 against Ha: p # 0.40, the sample data yield the test statistics z = 1.78.
