- Hypothesis Test
Wal-Mart wants to introduce a new subscription service (called Plum) that would result in customers getting free two day delivery. Wal-Mart introduces Wal-Mart Plum to a random sample of 99 customers. You are hired by Wal-Mart to analyze if the introduction of Plum and two day deliver increases sales for Wal-Mart. You find that the 99 random customers that were offered Plum Two Day Delivery spent $2,500 per year on Wal-Mart with a sample standard deviation of $500 in sales.
- Test whether the sales of Wal-Mart Plum are statistically different from zero at an alpha of 5% (95% confidence level). Set up your null and alternative hypotheses. Test at the 95% level of significance. Show your test and critical statistics. Are the sales for Two Hour Plum Delivery statistically different from 0? Interpret your answer.
- Suppose the typical Wal-Mart consumer spends $2000 a year. Test whether the introduction of Wal-Mart Plum Delivery increased sales. Set up your null and alternative hypotheses. Test at an alpha of 5% (95% confidence level). Show your test and critical statistics. Did Plum significantly increase sales? Interpret your answer.

Patients were randomly divided into a treatment group where they received a blood thinner or the control group where they did not. We're interested in understanding what proportion of patients survived in the first 24 hours in the hospital. Here's the data: Control Treatment Survived 11 14 Died 39 26 With the help of Mathematics and R Studio: Conduct a (full) hypothesis test to determine if the treatment group survived at a higher rate than the control group.arrow_forwardQuestion Help v A candy company says that the colors of its candies are 15% yellow, 14% red, 21% orange, 23% blue, 16% green and 11% brown. In a randomly selected bag of the candies, there were 28 yellow, 21 red, 10 orange, 10 blue, 5 green, 19 brown. Is this sample consistent with the company's advertised proportions?

- A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.arrow_forwardHypothesis Test: Perform the specified hypothesis test. Be sure to include your statistical andin-context conclusion statements. In 1994, 52% of parents with children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high schoolstudents were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 512 of 1000 parentswith children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taughtenough math and science. Do parents feel different today than they did in 1994? Use the α = 0.005significance level.arrow_forwardOne of the questions in a study of marital satisfaction of dual-career couples was to rate the statement, "I'm pleased with the way we divide the responsibilities for childcare." The ratings went from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). The table below contains ten of the paired responses for wives and husbands. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to see if wife's satisfaction levels are lower than their husband's satisfaction level (meaning that, within the partnership, the husband is happier than the wife). Wife's score 3 2 3 3 4 2 1 1 2 4 Husband's score 2 2 1 3 2 1 1 1 2 4 NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a) State the null hypothesis. H0: ?d = 0 H0: ?d > 0 H0: ?d < 0 H0: ?d ≠ 0 Part (b) State the alternative hypothesis.
