A student performs a test of Ho: u = 100 versus H,: > 100 and gets a P-value of 0.044. The student says, "There is a 0.044 probability of getting the sample result I did by chance alone." What did the student do wrong in their explanation? The student forgot to include the condition and the direction in their interpretation. The student forgot to state the conditional probability. The student forgot to make a decision about the null hypothesis. The student forgot to include a directional range of values. O The student did nothing wrong. The interpretation is fine.
In this course, the Python methods for hypothesis tests return two-tailed probability values. Suppose a one-tailed alternative hypothesis is used. How can you obtain a one-tailed probability value (P-Value)? Select one. Divide the result by 4 Multiply the result by 4 Divide the result by 2 Multiply the result by 2

In Bloomington, they randomly sampled 260 female voters, and 190 male voters. They collected data on the respondent's opinion on an environmental bond issue. We want to know whether there is good evidence that one's gender influences whether a person is for or against the bond issue. Use α = 0.05. For Bond Issue Against Bond Issue Total 52 260 17 190 69 450 Men Women Total a) What is the correct null hypothesis? O Ho: P₁ P2 P3 P4 O Ho: P₁ P2 = P3 P4 O Ho: Gender and Bond Issue Attitudes are Independent.

You watch people exiting Dodgers stadium after a game and you write down the number of males and the number of females that exit the stadium past you during the 20 minutes that you spend watching. You assumed that there would be a perfectly equal number of males and females attending a Dodgers game, but you look at the number of males and females that you actually counted, and you see if you still think that is actually true. What kind of hypothesis test would allow you to do this? a. One-Factor, Independent-Measures ANOVA b. Two-Factor ANOVA c. Correlation/Regression d. Chi-Square Goodness of Fit
A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 68%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H that we would use for this test. H: 0 O
Let’s assume that the “prevalence” (i.e., the proportion of infected people) of COVID-19 in a particular area is 5%. Tests are randomly administered in this area (i.e., regardless of whether a person is symptomatic or not). The test has a 1% false positive rate and a 4% false negative rate. If a person tests positive, what is the probability that he or she is actually infected with COVID-19?
A company that develops artificial intelligence designed to detect false statements has developed a program that police officers can use to determine whether a criminal suspect is lying or not.

H0 : p = .01, Hα : p ≠ .01 H0 : p = .99, Hα : p ≠ .99 H0 : p = .25, Hα : p ≠ .25 H0 : p = .75, Hα : p ≠ .75
