State the null and alternative hypotheses.

2. A company makes canned clam chowder (a delicious New England tradition).
On the label, the company claims that the chowder contains (on average) 3.5 grams of Total Fat per serving.
A consumer group would like to test this claim is true.

- According to NAFSA, 1.55% of all college students in the US studied abroad during the 2014-2015 academic year. Being the location of our country's capital, a researcher believes that a higher proportion of students study abroad in the District of Columbia than elsewhere in the country. Suppose a random sample of 250 college students from D.C. had 15 who studied abroad. a. State the hypotheses in symbols and words to test the researcher's claim. b. Calculate the test statistic. c. Calculate the p-value. d. Interpret the p-value e. State the conclusion of the test.arrow_forwardThe College Board reported that 58.7% of all students who took the 2010 AP Statistics exam earned scores of 3 or higher. One teacher wondered if the performance of her school was better. She believed that year's students to be typical of those who will take AP Stats at that school and was pleased when 34 of her 54 students achieved scores of 3 or better. Ca she clain that her school is better? To verify her clain, test the following hypotheses at Alpha =5%. Ho:P = 0.587 vs Ho:P>0.587arrow_forward3arrow_forward

There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that less than 26% of offspring peas will be yellow. O B. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that 26% of offspring peas will be yellow. O C. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that less than 26% of offspring peas will be yellow. O D. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that 26% of offspring peas will be yellow.arrow_forwardOn a state driver’s test, about 45% pass the test on the first try.

- You conduct a hypothesis test. Assuming you have made no errors in your calculations, what should we conclude if the test statistic ends up being positive? The claimed population proportion must be large. The sample proportion is larger than (or greater than) the claimed population proportion. The sample proportion is smaller than (or less than) the claimed population proportion. The sample size must be large. The claimed population proportion must be small.arrow_forward1) A sample of n = 200 college students are asked if they believe in extraterrestrial life and 120 of these students say that they do. The data are used to test if more than half of college students believe in extraterrestrial life. a. State the null and alternative hypothesis. b. Give the P- value c.

- Question 6 In this exercise, we are conducting many hypothesis tests to test a claim. Assume that the null hypothesis is true. If 100 tests are conducted using a significance level of 5%, approximately how many of the tests will incorrectly find significance?Enter your answer in accordance to the question statement of the tests will find significance.arrow_forwardMany 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. Suppose that 40% of all supermarkets in the US use recyclable plastic bags. We would like to assess if the proportion of supermarkets in Michigan that use recyclable plastic bags is more than the stated rate. For this scenario, write out the hypotheses to be put to the test and define the parameter of interest in context of the problem.
