You would like to determine if the use of a new teaching intervention helps to improve attention in 5- year-old boys. To test this hypothesis, you have separated 35 5-year-old boys into two groups, one with the intervention (treatment group) and the other given normal class time (the control group). You would like to test if the treatment group had longer attention times (in minutes) than the control group.

- short answer Ethics: Which hypothesis, the null or the alternative, is easiest for the math to support? Knowing that, could someone state their hypothesis so that it is the most likely to be supported? Should every hypothesis test be done with various wordings of the claim, or is there a structure to the hypotheses that should be followed?arrow_forward2. Toastmasters International cites a report by Gallup Poll that 40% of Americans fear public speaking. A student believes that less than 40% of students at her school fear public speaking. She randomly surveys 361 schoolmates and finds that 137 report they fear public speaking. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to determine if the percent at her school is less than 40%. a. State the null hypothesis. b. State the alternative hypothesis. c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion. Sketch the graph of the situation.

- At a nearby college, there is a school-sponsored website that matches people looking for roommates. According to the school's reports, 43% of students will find a match their first time using the site. A writer for the school newspaper tests this claim by choosing a random sample of 170 students who visited the site looking for a roommate. Of the students surveyed, 58 said they found a match their first time using the site. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to reject the claim that the proportion, P, of all students who will find a match their first time using the site is 43%. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis A that you would use for the test. P H 0 D=0 DO (b) For your hypothesis test, you will use a Z-test.
