Question
State the null and alternative hypotheses (using appropriate mathematical symbols for the population parameters) and identify which represents the claim. Then determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.
(a) A job recruiting office claims that the standard deviation of starting salaries for introductory-level software engineers is $5000.
(b) A news report claims that the proportion of college freshmen in the Class of 2024 planning to pursue a degree in business is at least 15%

- Scenario: The mean score for all high school seniors taking a college entrance exam is 500. Advocates for a charter school boast that their program helps to increase student exam scores. For a random sample of 100 students from the charter school, the mean exam score is 516 with a standard deviation of 90. Test the school's claim that their program improves student test scores. Question: Which of the following is closest to the correct test statistic for this hypothesis test? [Note: you should do the calculations yourself to identify the correct answer] t = 3.26, df = 92 t = 1.78, df = 99 t = 2.81, df = 94 t = 2.32, df = 99arrow_forwardAdvanced Matharrow_forwardMilanarrow_forward
- All parts of the question.arrow_forwardA mobile game currently has 38% of the market share. The CEO of the company producing the game recently authorized an advertising campaign with the goal of increasing the game's market share.
