Question
I just want to know why the subsequent hypotheses are chosen over the other (from the given options).

Transcribed Image Text:In a program designed to help patients stop smoking, 158 patients were given sustained care, and 82.9% of them were no longer smoking after one month. Use a 0.01
significance level to test the claim that 80% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care.
Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below.
О А. Но: р30.8
H;:p<0.8
О В. Но р-0.8
H1: p>0.8
O C. Ho: p#0.8
H1: p=0.8
O D. Ho: p= 0.8
H1: p#0.8

- On a state driver’s test, about 45% pass the test on the first try. We want to test if more than 45% pass on the first try.

In a random sample of 200 uS adults, 18.5% say that they are smokers. At a =0.01 significance level, is there enough evidence to reject the researcher's claim?

- Many questions in research can be expressed as two competing statements about the population parameter. These two statements are called the null and the alternative hypotheses. Usually, the researcher hopes the sample evidence will be in favor of the alternative hypothesis, the new theory. It is important to be able to state the theories that are being put to a test. Write out the hypotheses to be put to the test and define the parameter of interest in context of the problem. Do a minority of Michigan residents clear snow from sidewalks before 9 am after snow has fallen?For this scenario, write out the hypotheses to be put to the test and define the parameter of interest in context of the problem.

Polls show that about 69% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 30 high school students, it was found that only 17 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time. (Source: Gallup Politics, Americans' Views of Egypt Sharply More Negative, data collected February 2-5, 2011).arrow_forwardConsider the following set of hypotheses and determine whether or not they are valid. If they are valid, then specify what type of hypothesis test is being carried out. If they are not valid, then specify why they are not valid. Be as specific as possible.

- When conducting a hypothesis test, we hope to avoid commiting a type 1 error, which is: 1. Not as bad as committing a type 2 error 2. rejecting a null hypothesis when it is true 3. rejecting the alternate hypothesis when it is true 4. accepting the null hypothesis when the alternate hypothesis is truearrow_forwardA magazine presented a lesson in hypothesis testing carried out by medical students in a biostatistics class. Students were blind-folded and then given a red-colored or yellow-colored gummy bear to chew. (Half the students were randomly assigned to receive the red gummy bear and half to receive the yellow bear. The students could not see what color gummy bear they were given.) After chewing, the students were asked to guess the color of the candy based on the flavor. Of the 137 students who participated in the study, 94 correctly identified the color of the gummy bear. Complete parts a through c below. a. If there is no relationship between color and gummy bear flavor, what proportion of the population of students will correctly identify the color? (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether color and flavor are related.
