Question
Please solve this by hand and also with r-studio code not the excel output please.
An experimenter is interested in the hypothesis testing problem with H0: µ = 420 versus Ha: µ <
420, where µ is the average radiation level in a research laboratory. Suppose that a sample of 49
radiation level measurements is obtained and that the experimenter wishes to use σ=10.0 for the
standard deviation of the radiation levels.
(a) What is the rejection region when α=0.01?
(b) Suppose that the sample mean is 415.7. What would be the experimenter’s decision of the
hypothesis test based on the rejection region?
(c) What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

- A major credit card company is investigating whether the distribution of the number of credit cards used by its customers has changed from last year to this year. Customers are classified as using 1 card, 2 cards, or more than 2 cards. The company conducts a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to investigate whether there is a change in the distribution of number of cards used from last year to this year. The value of the chi-square test statistic was χ2=7.82 with a corresponding p-value of 0.02. Assuming the conditions for inference were met, which of the following is the correct interpretation of this p-value? There is a 2 percent chance that the company’s claim is correct. A There is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 7.82. B If the null hypothesis were true, there is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 7.82.
