Classify the hypothesis test as two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed. At one school, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 21.2 hours. The principal introduces a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television. One year later, the principal wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week has decreased from the previous mean of 21.2 hours. O Right-tailed O Left-tailed O Two-tailed

A marketing agency wanted to determine if a new commercial changed people's opinion about a company. They recruited n=30 participants to watch the commercial. First, everyone was givien a survey to determine their attitudes toward the company. Then, everyone watched the new commercial. Finally, they were given the same survey again and asked about their attitudes toward the comapny after seeing the commercial. The agency wanted to see if attitudes were changed by the commercial. What statistical test should they use?

use a hypothesis test to determine if the proportions are statistically different. A recent survey showed that in a sample of 100 elementary school teachers, 15 were single. In a sample of 180high school teachers, 36 were single. Is the proportion of high school teachers who were single greater than theproportion of elementary teachers who were single? Use ΅ = 0.01.

Do iPads Help Kindergartners Learn: A Subtest The Auburn, Maine, school district conducted an early literacy experiment in the fall of 2011. In September, half of the kindergarten classes were randomly assigned iPads (the intervention group) while the other half of the classes got them in December (the control group.) Kids were tested in September and December and the study measures the average difference in score gains between the control and intervention group.52 The experimenters tested whether the mean score for the intervention group was higher on the HRSIW subtest (Hearing and Recording Sounds in Words) than the mean score for the control group. a)State the null and alternative hypotheses of the test and define any relevant parameters. b) The p-value for the test is 0.02. State the conclusion of the test in context. Are the results statistically significant at the 5% level? c) The effect size was about two points, which means the mean score for the intervention group was…

Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 671randomly selected adults showed that 58​% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Find the value of the test statistic. The value of the test statistic is

A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…

Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 454 randomly selected adults showed that 56% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Find the value of the test statistic.

(b) Compute the value of the test statistic. Round the answer to at least three decimal places.

Find the test statistic and p value

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.
