Question

Transcribed Image Text:Food inspectors inspect samples of food products to see if they are safe. This can be thought of as a

Ho: the food is safe
Ha: the food is not safe
The following is an example of what type of error?
The sample suggests that the food is not safe, but it actually is safe.

- A public opinion poll surveyed a simple random sample of voters. Respondents were classified by gender (female or male) and by voting preference (Republican, Democrat, or Independent). The results are presented here: Republican 250 200 Female Male You want to determine if gender and voting preference are independent. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05. Are the requirements met for this hypothesis test? Explain. O Yes. A random sample was used, and all expected counts are greater than or equal to 5. O Yes. A random sample was used, and all observed counts are greater than or equal to 5. O No. A random sample was used, but at least one of the expected counts is less than 5. O No. A random sample was not used. Democrat 300 150 Independent 50 50arrow_forwardYou may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Consider the hypothesis test. Ho: P1 - P2 0 The following results are for independent samples taken from the two populations. Sample 1 Sample 2 n1 = 200 n2 = 300 = 0.24 P2 P1 = 0.16 (a) Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value (b) With a = 0.05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion? Reject Ho. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that p, - p2 > 0. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that p, - p, > 0. Do not reject Ho. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that p, - p, > 0. Do not Reject Ho: There is sufficient evidence to conclude that p, - p, > 0.arrow_forwardQuestion Help In a random sample of males, it was found that 27 write with their left hands and 216 do not. In a random sample of females, it was found that 72 write with their left hands and 455 do not. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of males and the second sample to be the sample of females. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? B. Ho: P1 =P2 O C. Ho: P1 S P2 O A. Ho: P12 P2 H1: P1 #P2 H4: P1 # P2 H1:P1 #P2 O D. Ho: P1 = P2 H4:P,> P2 O E.

- The P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject Ho when the level of significance is (a) a = 0.01, (b) a = 0.05, and (c) a = 0.10. P=0.1162 (a) Do you reject or fail to reject H, at the 0.01 level of significance? O A. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.1162, is greater than a = 0.01. O B. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.1162, is less than a= 0.01. O C. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.1162, is less than a= 0.01. O D. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.1162, is greater than a = 0.01. (b) Do you reject or fail to reject H, at the 0.05 level of significance? O A. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.1162, is less than a = 0.05. O B. Reject Họ because the P-value, 0.1162, is greater than a = 0.05. O C. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.1162, is greater than a = 0.05. O D. Reject H, because the P-value, 0.1162, is less than oa = 0.05. (c) Do you reject or fail to reject Ho at the 0.10 level of significance? O A.

Group of answer choices Reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to conclude the alternative hypothesis is true. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to conclude the null hypothesis is true. Reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to conclude the alternative hypothesis is true.
