- For the following identify and justify the approach you would use. Be sure to include the appropriate null and alternate hypothesis for the test. Consider all tests evaluated this term. You do not have to do the computation and provide an answer but you do have to provide the exact test and a justification. a. The number of chirps per minute emitted by crickets was measured at several temperatures. The mean number of chirps from three crickets is provided below. Is the number of chirps related to temperature? How would you describe that relationship mathematically? Identify the independent and dependent variables and the approach you would use with regards to statistical analysis. Temp (◦C) 20 22 24 25 27 29 30 Chirps (chirps/min) 112 118 140 155 160 179 199 b. A poker-dealing machine is supposed to deal cards at random, as if from an infinite deck.

Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu = 8,700 Ha: mu is not = to 8,700 You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 100 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 8,853 and a std deviation of 1,150. What are the bounds for the acceptance region for this hypothesis test?

- A personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, 4, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate L. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 5 of u? Use the value 21 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) ?arrow_forwardYour medical research team is investigating the mean cost of a 30-day supply of a certain heart medication.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.arrow_forwardCadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. 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. type I error B. correct decision because a true null hypothesis is not rejected C. correct decision because…arrow_forward

Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?arrow_forward
