Question
Suppose the national average dollar amount for an automobile insurance claim is $973.04. You work for an agency in Michigan and you are interested in whether or not the state average is greater than the national average. The hypotheses for this scenario are as follows: Null Hypothesis: μ ≤ 973.04, Alternative Hypothesis: μ > 973.04. You take a random sample of claims and calculate a p-value of 0.3431 based on the data, what is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance.

- Members of the city council want to know if a majority of city residents supports a 1% increase in the sales tax to fund road repairs. To investigate, they survey a random sample of 300 city residents and use the results to test the following hypotheses: Họ: p = 0.50 Hip > 0.50 where pis the proportion of all city residents who support a 1% increase in the sales tax to fund road repairs. In the sample, p = 158/300 = 0.527. The resulting P-value is 0.18. What is the correct interpretation of this P-value? Assuming that 50% of residents support the tax increase, there is an 18% probability that the sample proportion would be 0.527 or greater by chance alone. There is an 18% chance that the majority of residents supports the tax increase.

- The Statistics Games are played by a large number of students across the county. Last year, 32% of Clayton State students participated in the Games. You wonder: “Has the proportion increased this year?”. To find out, you take a random sample of 250 CSU students and ask them if they participated in the Games this year. You find that 38% did. Write the null and alternate hypotheses.

You suspect that a greater proportion of students at your school use the internet that much. You take a random sample of 60 students and find that 36 of them use the internet for an hour or more each day. Assume your school has more than 600 students. You will test the hypotheses H, : p = 0.43, H,:p>0.43 , where p= the true proportion of students at your school who use the internet for an hour or more each day. Which of the following gives the correct test statistic for this test? 0.43 - 0.6 Z = (0.6)(0.4) 60 0.43-0.6 (0.6)(0.4) 600 0.6-0.43 (0.6)(0.4) 60 0.6 - 0.43 (0.43)(0.57) 60 36 - 60 (36)(24) 60arrow_forwardConsumers Energy states that the average electric bill across the state is $67.16. You want to test the claim that the average bill amount is greater than $67.16. The hypotheses for this situation are Null Hypothesis: u = 67.16, Alternative Hypothesis: u > 67.16. If the true statewide average bill is $51.28 and the null hypothesis is not rejected, did a type I, type II, or no error occur? a No error has occurred. b Type I Error has occurred. c Type II Error has occurred. d We do not know the p-value, so we cannot determine if an error has occurred.arrow_forward
