Safety regulations state that roller coasters cannot operate safely in low temperatures. Throughout the day, ride operators measure the temperature at several random locations along the track to verify that the temperature is above an established threshold value, allowing the ride to operate safely. The collected data is used to conduct a one-sample ? -test of the null hypothesis that the
Type I error:
- The temperature is warm enough to operate safely, and the ride is shut down.
- The temperature is too low to operate safely, and the ride continues to operate.
- The temperature is warm enough to operate safely, and the ride continues to operate.
- The temperature is too low to operate safely, and the ride is shut down.
Type II error:
- The temperature is too low to operate safely, and the ride continues to operate.
- The temperature is too low to operate safely, and the ride is shut down.
- The temperature is warm enough to operate safely, and the ride continues to operate.
- The temperature is warm enough to operate safely, and the ride is shut down.

- A market research firm used a sample of individuals to rate the purchase potential of a particular product before and after the individuals saw a new television commercial about the product. The purchase potential ratings were based on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher values indicating a higher purchase potential. The null hypothesis stated that the mean rating "after" would be less than or equal to the mean rating "before." Rejection of this hypothesis would show that the commercial improved the mean purchase potential rating. Use a = 0.05 and the following data to test the hypothesis and comment on the value of the commercial.

Some governments have a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.56 part per million (ppm). A research team measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of edible mushrooms, where the hypothesis test is to decide whether the mean cadmium level in the sample is greater than the governments' safety limit. The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: μ=0.56 ppm, Ha: μ>0.56 ppm. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. d. Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to nonrejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean cadmium level in that type of mushrooms equals the safety limit of 0.56 ppm. Choose the correct answer below.

- A professor is concerned that the two sections of college algebra that he teaches are not performing at the same level. To test his claim, he looks at the mean exam score for a random sample of students from each of his classes. In Class 1, the mean exam score for 13 students is 75.1 with a standard deviation of 5.8. In Class 2, the mean exam score for 16 students is 82.6 with a standard deviation of 7.3. Test the professor's claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let Class 1 be Population 1 and let Class 2 be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic.

All three employees have taken tests of coordination, but each took a different test. Employee A scored 15 on a test with a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 2; Employee B scored 350 on a test with a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 40; and Employee C scored 108 on a test with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16. (On all three tests, higher scores mean greater coordination.) Which employee has the best coordination? (hint: convert raw scores to z scores and compare) Select one: a. Employee A b. Employee B c.

Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu = 520 Ha: mu is not = to 520 You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 36 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 573 and a std deviation of 24. Do you reject or not-reject the null hypothesis? Group of answer choices Do not reject the null hypothesis. Reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forward
- A random sample of 34 chemists from Washington state shows an average salary of $41857, the population standard deviation for chemist salaries in Washington state is $697. A random sample of 35 chemists from Florida state shows an average salary of $44632, the population standard deviation for chemist salaries in Florida state is $900. A chemist that has worked in both states believes that chemists in Washington make a different amount than chemists in Florida. At a=0.05 is this chemist correct? Let Washington be sample 1 and Florida be sample 2. The correct hypotheses are: Ο Ηο: μι μ2(claim) Ο Ηο: μι 2 με HAM12(claim) Ho: M₁ = H2 1 HAM12(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.05 the critical value is 1.96 and -1.96 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places)arrow_forwardImagine that a researcher wants to compare the intelligence levels of Poodles to all dogs. He hypothesizes that Poodles will score differently than other dogs. He uses a standard test of dog intelligence in his study. The population of all dogs has a mean of μ = 100, and an SD of 15. He obtains a random sample of 500 Poodles and he finds that the mean intelligence score of the sample is 117. Is this a one- or two- tailed test? Write the Ho and Ha for this research question.
