Final Conclusions. In Exercises 25–28, use a significance level of α = 0.05 and use the given information for the following:
a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H0 or fail to reject h0).
b. Without using technical terms or symbols, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Original claim: Fewer than 90% of adults have a cell phone. The hypothesis test results in a p-value of 0.0003.

- K The display provided from technology available below results from using data for a smartphone carrier's data speeds at airports to test the claim that they are from a population having a mean less than 5.00 Mbps. Conduct the hypothesis test using these results. Use a 0.05 significance level. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Click the icon to view the display from technology.

For marketing purposes, a potential adveriser wants to confirm this claim. After performing a test at the 0.02 level of significance, the advertiser failed to reject the null hypothesis. What is the conclusion regarding the publisher's claim? (Choose A or B) A. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level of significance that the percentage is over 47%. B. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level of significance to say that the percentage is over 47%.arrow_forwardIf the p-value of a hypothesis test is equal to 0.035, then the null hypothesis will be rejected for which cases?

- A claim is given. Select the corresponding null hypothesis and using a significance level of α = 0.05 and the given p-value, determine if you reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Claim: Americans spend on average less than 8 minutes in the shower. Data: In a sample of Americans (n = 1,803), the average time spent in the shower is 7.8 minutes with a p-value of 0.0546. A. H0 :μ=8and we reject the null. B. H0 :μ=8and we fail reject the null. C. H0 :μ>8and we reject the null. D. H0 :μ>8and we fail reject the null. E. H0 :μ<8and we reject the null. F. H0 :μ<8and we fail reject the null.arrow_forwardThe test statistic of z=1.54 is obtained when testing the claim that p=0.723. a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed. b. Find the P-value. c. Using a significance level of a=0.10, should we reject H0 or should we fail to reject H0?arrow_forwardWhen conducting a significance test in practice, how should you choose the alpha level? a) Always use alpha=0.05 since it's the most appropriate for every situation. b) Always use alpha=0.05 since it's the most commonly used one. c) Use a larger alpha when the consequences of mistakenly rejecting the null hypothesis are more serious. d) Use a smaller alpha when the consequences of mistakenly rejecting the null hypothesis are more serious.arrow_forward
- Mitchell works in the produce section at a small local supermarket and would like to test whether the proportion of apples people purchase is the same for each season, using a significance level of 0.05.
