- A new design for the braking system on a certain type of car has been proposed. For the current system, the true average braking distance at 40 mph under specified conditions is known to be 120 ft. It is proposed that the new design be implemented only if sample data strongly indicates a reduction in true average braking distance for the new design. (a) Define the parameter of interest. O μ = true average braking distance for the new design O μ = true average braking distance for the old design Op = true proportion of cars whose braking distances did not reduce Op = true proportion of cars whose braking distances reduced State the relevant hypotheses.

If you want to test whether type of student modifies the association between hours of sleep per night and daily productivity score, which model (from attached image) should you consider and what is the null hypothesis for this test? A. Use Model 3 and test H0: β2=0 B. Use Model 5 and test H0: β3=0 C. Use Model 5 and test H0: β1=0 D. Use Model 5 and test H0: β2=0 E. Use Model 2 and test H0: β1=0 2.
