- A teacher is comparing the mean study time of his freshmen and senior students. He believes that his senior students spend more time studying per week than his freshmen students and decides to perform a hypothesis test on this belief. a. suppose the decision of the hypothesis test is to reject the null hypothesis. If, in reality, freshmen study for a mean of 10 hours per wekk and seniors study for a mena of 15 hours per week, was an arror made? If so, what type? b.

- It is believed that positive, self-affirming statements can lead to greater academic success on high- stakes assessments. In a recent study, 120 advanced algebra students were randomly assigned to two groups. One group was instructed how to write and recite daily positive self-affirmations while the other group did not do any affirmations. After one semester, all 120 students took the same algebra examination. Which of the following would be appropriate hypotheses for this study? (A) Ho: M₁ = ₂ and Ha: ₁ ₂, where ₁ = mean score for those who used affirmations and U₂ = mean score for those who don't use affirmations. (D) Ho: H1 H2 and Ha: ₁ = µ2, where μ, mean score for those who used affirmations and μ₂ = mean score for those who don't use affirmations. (E) Ho: H₁ H₂ and Ha: 1 = P2, where μ, mean score for those who used affirmations and U₂ = mean score for those who don't use affirmations.arrow_forwardD. Whymight it be worse to make a Type 1 error in this scenario? E. Suppose that we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Wrote a conclusion statement in the context of the problem. Assume no errors were made.arrow_forwardA box model is used to conduct a hypothesis test for the following scenario: A marketing firm randomly selects 500 households in a town asking about their annual income. They want to test whether the percentage of households in town that have annual income above $100,000 is 50%. The SD of the ticket values in the box assuming the null hypothesis is true is best described as... a. Random and unknown; it must be estimated b. Fixed and unknown; it must be estimated c.

Can taking an antidepressant drug help cigarette smokers kick their habit? The New England Journal of Medicine (Oct. 23, 1997) published a study in which 615 smokers (all of whom wanted to give up smoking) were randomly assigned to receive either Zyban (an antidepressant) or a placebo (a dummy pill) for six weeks. Of the 309 patients who received Zyban, 71 were not smoking one year later. Of the 306 patients who received a placebo, 37 were not smoking one year later.
