Values range from 300 to 850 with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 705.6. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 34 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 724.4 with a standard deviation of 84.4. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the α=0.05 level of significance. 1) Find: P-value 2) Make a conclusion regarding the hypothesis.arrow_forward
- A sample of 76 female workers and another sample of 48 male workers from a state produced mean weekly earnings of $743.50 for the females and $777.63 for the males. Suppose that the population standard deviations of the weekly earnings are $80.05 for the females and $88.68 for the males. The null hypothesis is that the mean weekly earnings are the same for females and males, while the alternative hypothesis is that the mean weekly earnings for females is less than the mean weekly earnings for males.

The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed changed. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $8.48, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.25. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? H: u is [? |H: u is ? ? In the context of this test, what is a Type II error? A Type II error is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? when, in fact, u is ? Suppose that the union decides to reject the null hypothesis.
