Question
Reynir examines the difference in the amount of carbon dioxide in two types of mineral water. He performs a two-group t-test to compare the average carbon dioxide levels in the two groups. His hypotheses are H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0 og H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0. Reynir also calculated a confidence interval for the difference between the means of the two groups α and in the hypothesis test). Reynir rejected the null hypothesis. Which of the following applies to the safety margin calculated by Reynir?
a) It contains the value zero.
b) It contains 95% of the values that can occur when the experiment is performed.
c) It does not contain the value zero.
d) It contains both values greater than zero and values less than zero.

- You are testing the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between two variables, X and Y. From your sample of n = 10, you determine that r = 0.80. a) What is the value of the t test statistic t STAT ? b) At the a = 0.05 level of significance, what are the critical values? c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what statistical decision should you make?arrow_forward#2.9 Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, and then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Among 2026 passenger cars in a particular region, 218 had only rear license plates. Among 346 commercial trucks, 50 had only rear license plates. A reasonable hypothesis is that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars. Use a 0.05 significance level to test that hypothesis.Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Let population 1 correspond to the passenger cars and population 2 correspond to the commercial trucks. Let a success be a vehicle that only has a rear license plate. Identify the test statistic. State the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.arrow_forwardAn article in the newspaper claims that 60% of registered drivers have the organ donor designation on their driver's license. A researcher at a hospital decides to investigate this claim. The researcher selects a random sample of 50 registered drivers and finds that 44.0% have the organ donor designation on their driver's license. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the ?α = 0.05 level that fewer than 60% of registered drivers have the organ donor designation on their license?arrow_forward

A researcher suspects that a lower percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 398 people from the inner city surveyed, 52 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of αα = 0.01? For this study, we should use Z TEST FOR A POPULATION PROPORTION The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: P=0.15 (please enter a decimal) H1: P <0.1 3. The test statistic _z__ = _______ (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) 4. The p-value = __0.0144__ (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) 5. The p-value is __<__α 6. Based on this, we should ___FAIL TO REJECT___ the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly smaller than 16% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is…arrow_forwardA group of toxicologists investigated the impact of exposure to low oxygen on the mortality of rice weevils. In an experiment, 31,386 of 31,421 rice weevils were found dead after exposure to nitrogen gas for 4 days. In a second experiment, 23,516 of 23,676 rice weevils were found dead after exposure to nitrogen gas for 3.5 days. Conduct a test of hypothesis to compare the mortality rates of adult rice weevils exposed to nitrogen at the two exposure times. Is there a significant difference (at a = 0.10) in the mortality rates? Give the null and alternative hypotheses. Let p, represent the proportion of rice weevils found dead in the first experiment and p, represent the proportion of rice weevils found dead in the second experiment. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: (P1 - P2) #0 Ha: (P1 - P2) = 0 O C. Họ: (P1 - P2) 0 H3: (P1 - P2) = 0 OF. Ho: (P1 - P2) =0 H: (P1 - P2) >0 Find the test statistic. The test statistic is z=.
