Question
A random sample of 100 students is taken from a larger population of students in a multi-lecture course and the sample mean (average) of their final grades is 66. Suppose it is known that the population standard deviation is 7. You test whether there is significant evidence that the population average differs from 67, using a level of significance of 4%. Choose the most correct statement. Note: You will have to calculate the test statistic by hand, but you can use R to get your pvalue.
a.
Your pvalue statement is 2P(Z > 1.43), your pvalue is 0.3062 and your decision is to fail to reject Ho.
b.
Your pvalue statement is 2P(Z > 1.43 ), your pvalue is 0.1531 and your decision is to fail to reject Ho
c.
Your pvalue statement is 2P(Z > 1.43 ), your pvalue is 0.1531, and your decision is to reject Ho.
d.
Your pvalue statement is 2P(Z > 1.43), your pvalue is 0.0766 and your decision is reject Ho.

- You are interested in the average dollar amount lost by victims of burglary. The National Insurance Association has reported the mean dollar amount lost by victims of burglary is $2,000 with a standard deviation of 600. Assume this is the population mean and population standard deviation. You believe that the true loss is more than this, so you take a sample of 100 burglary victims and ask them to report the value of the property that was stolen from them. Your sample reported an average dollar loss of 2,222 dollars. Test the hypothesis that the true value of property lost in burglaries is more than $2,000. Use alpha = .002arrow_forwardMany students take standardized tests for college applications. They are called standardized tests because they are scored so the population of student scores for any one particular test follows a normal distribution. The most common test are the SAT and the ACT. Suppose the mean and standard deviation for the ACT composite score, the SAT critical reading score, and the SAT mathematics score for the year 2017 are as follows: For the ACT, the mean composite score was 21.0 with a standard deviation of 5.2. For the SAT critical reading score, the mean was 501 with a standard deviation of 112. For the SAT mathematics score, the mean was 516 with a standard deviation of 116. Sketch a bell curve for the ACT composite data with markings on the horizontal axis for ±1 standard deviation, ±2 standard deviations, and ±3 standard deviations.arrow_forwardThe City University of New York/BMCC Department of Mathematics Math 150 Mid-Term #1.

- It is commonly believed that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is 98.6∘F. You are not entirely convinced. You believe that it is not 98.6∘F. You collected data using 49 healthy people and found that they had a mean body temperature of 98.24∘F with a standard deviation of 1.05∘F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is not 98.6∘F.a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?

If the population standard deviation is 3.72, determine if there is enough evidence to support the resident's claim. Use a = 0. 10. Please show all work in performing your hypothesis test below.

- You are a consumer advocate. A particular brand of tires state that they last for 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. You solicit survey responses from people that own the tire to ask how many miles their tire lasted before they had to replace them. The survey results showed an average life-span of 46,500 miles with a standard deviation of 9,800 miles. Which statistical test would be best to determine if the tires last significantly less than 50,000 miles? z-test one-sample t-test independent samples t-test ANOVAarrow_forwardWe want to compare cholesterol levels between men and women, so we collect a sample of 20 women and 30 men.
