- answer 3arrow_forwardA certain magazine stated that the mean time for a Ford Mustang to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour is 4.1 seconds. (a) If you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim of 4.1 seconds, what would you use for the null hypothesis? 04.1 O = 4.1 (b) The town of Leadville, Colorado, has an elevation over 10,000 feet. Suppose you wanted to test the claim that the average time to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour is longer Leadville (because of less oxygen). What would you use for the alternate hypothesis? OH 4.1 OM 4.1 O = 4.1 (c) Suppose you made an engine modification and you think the average time to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour is reduced. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis? OH> 4.1 O μ< 4.1 OH 4.1. (d) For each of the tests in parts (b) and (c), would the P-value area be on the left, on the right, or on both sides of the mean? O left; both O right; left O left; right O both; leftarrow_forwardUse the following information for Questions 19-21. Teresa works at a medium-sized doctor's office and notices that appointment times are approximately normally distributed with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes. A patient complains that the wait times are too long and that her average wait time is much longer than 25 minutes. Teresa decides to conduct a test with a = 0.05 and the following hypotheses Ho: H=25 vs. Ha:μ> 25 Teresa randomly selects 25 appointments and records their times and finds their mean. The P-value of the test of the null hypothesis is O the probability the null hypothesis is false. O the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed. O the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is false, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed. O the probability the null hypothesis is true.arrow_forward
- Under what circumstances is a t statistic used instead of a z-score for a hypothesis test? Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?arrow_forwardA statistician wishing to test a hypothesis that students score at most 75% on the final exam in an introductory statistics course decides to randomly select 20 students in the class and have them take the exam early. The average score of the 20 students on the exam is 72% and the standard deviation in the population is known to be = 15%. The statistician calculates the test statistic to be –0.8944. If the statistician chose to do a two-sided alternative, the P-value would be calculated by: a. finding the area to the right of –0.8944 and doubling it. b. finding the area to the left of –0.8944 and doubling it. c. finding the area to the right of the absolute value of –0.8944 and dividing it by two. d. finding the area to the left of –0.8944arrow_forwardplease help me with thisarrow_forward
- For a given calculated test statistic, z-calc, the p-value for a two-tailed test will be higher than for a one-tailed test. Check the correct answer(s). Sometimes false Cannot tell from the information given Always true Sometimes true Always falsearrow_forwardI got 38.07 and I'm not sure why it's wrongarrow_forwardResearchers wish to investigate whether anxiety in children has increased over time. In 1950, the average score on the Child Manifest Anxiety Scale was µ= 15.1. A sample of n = 16 was taken from children today, which produced a mean anxiety score of M= 23.3 with SS= 240. Based on the sample, has there been a significant change in the average level of childhood anxiety since 1950? (Use a 2-tailed test with α= .05) Write a sentence describing the outcome of the hypothesis test as it would appear in a research report.arrow_forward
