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 $7.78, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.20. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H. and the alternative hypothesis H₁ that should be used for the test?

- A researcher wants to examine the effect of daily mental exercises on cognitive performance of people in early stages of Alzheimer's disease. She enrolled to her study n = 16 patients diagnosed with the early stage of Alzheimer's disease and all participants conducted daily mental exercises for a month. At the end of the program all enrolled patients took the MMSE test (i.e., Mini-Mental State Examination). The results show that the sample mean on the MMSE test was M = 23.6 with the standard deviation, s = 7. It is known that the MMSE mean in the population of patients with early Alzheimer's disease is µ = 20. Do these data show a significant effect of daily mental exercises on cognitive performance in early stages of Alzheimer's disease?arrow_forwardYou are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly different from 0.74.
