- The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 24 mpg on the highway. You suspect that the mpg is less for your car. The 44 trips on the highway that you took averaged 22.3 mpg and the standard deviation for these 44 trips was 4.2 mpg. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use (t-test for population mean, z-test for population proportion) The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0: (symbol) (symbol) ____ H1: (symbol) (symbol) ____ The test statistic (?,t,z) = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is (?, less than or equal to, more than) αα Based on this, we should (accept, reject, fail to reject) the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest that the sample mean is not significantly less than 24 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude…arrow_forwardThe heights of adult females are approximately normally distributed, with an estimated mean of 65.0 inches and an estimated standard deviation of 3.00. Some researchers hypothesized that the actual standard deviation, o, of heights of adult females is greater than 3.00. These researchers chose a random sample of 20 adult females. The mean height of this sample was 64.9 inches, and the standard deviation was 3.44. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the standard deviation of adult female heights is greater than 3.00? Perform a one-tailed test.

- During an economic crisis, the average value of homes in a community of 36 homes lost $9284 with a standard deviation of $1450. The average home value in the region lost $8790. Was this community of 36 homes unusual? Use a t-test to decide if the average loss observed was significantly different from the region value. Use a level of significance α=0.05. Identify the hypotheses for the test. H0: μ ▼ less than< greater than> equals= not equals≠ nothing HA: μ ▼ less than< not equals≠ greater than> equals= nothing The test statistic is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The P-value is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the conclusion of the test?

This feels too high. To test this, a research lab obtained 30 random gallons of paint and recruited 30 volunteers to each paint as much wall space as they could with a gallon, and the lab techs measured the area covered. They computed a mean of 396 sq ft with a standard deviation of 27 sq ft. They performed a test of hypothesis and computed a p-value of 0.212. What is the appropriate conclusion?arrow_forward
