Suppose we are interested in investigating the mean of a normally distributed population. As part of the investigation, we intend to draw a sample of 1400 observations from this population and carry out a test of the null hypothesis Ho : µ =450 against a two-sided alternative hypothesis. Suppose that in reality, the population mean is 450. On average, what will the p-value equal? (Give your numeric response to at least 3 decimal places. Give only your numeric response, and not any extra characters or symbols.) Your Answer:

Suppose the study described in the previous question was conducted by a colleague. He tells you that based on a chi-square distribution with 2 degrees of freedom, his p-value was 0.11, and he concludes that the proportions are not the same across health status categories. Do you agree with his conclusion? Yes, by rejecting the null hypothesis, it does appear that the proportions are not the same. Yes. He should have not rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that they do not appear to be related. Yes. a p-value > 0.05 always indicates that variables are related regardless of the test conducted
A nutritionist wants to investigate whether her new diet will be effective in helping women aged 30-40 to lose weight. She will use a paired sample to determine whether the mean weight of women before going on this diet is greater than the mean weight of women after being on this diet for two months. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses for the proposed hypothesis test. O A. Let μ₁ denote the mean weight of women before going on this diet and let μ₂ denote the mean weight of women who have been on this diet for two months. The null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: H₁ H2 and Ha: H₁ H₂. O D. Let μ₁ denote the mean weight of women before going on this diet and let μ₂ denote the mean weight of women who have been on this diet for two months. The null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: H₁ H2 and Ha: H₁ H₂.
According to a University Center for Logistics Management, 12% of all merchandise sold in the United States gets returned. A Seattle department store sampled 89 items sold in January and found that 8 of the items were returned.If you have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running:H0:p=0.12Ha:p<0.12Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places Z=
Two separate samples are selected from the same population. Each have an n=8. Both samples receive a different treatment. After the treatment, the first sample has SS=16 and the second sample has SS=24. With a mean of 3 for the first group and mean of 6 for the second group, compute the t statistic. State the conclusion of these findings.
A recent issue of the AARP Bulletin reported that the average weekly pay for a woman with a high school degree is $520 . Suppose you would like to determine if the average weekly pay for all working women is signicantly greater (at alpha = 0.05) than that for women with a high school degree. Using data on weekly pay for a sample of 50 working women, you obtain the following statistics: sample mean = $620, sample error = $150. Conduct the hypothesis test using the critical value approach and the p-value approach.Describe the conclusion of the hypothesis test and what that means in this context
16% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a different percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 337 people from the inner city surveyed, 47 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of α= 0.05? a. The test statistic= (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Select the most appropriate response. It is claimed that the mean age of bus drivers in Chicago is 59.3 years. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis? Question 2 options: There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim µ = 59.3. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim p = 59.3. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim p = 59.3. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim u = 59.3.
Bags of a certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14 oz. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag and are Normally distributed with mean u. A representative of a consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised, so he intends to test the hypotheses Ho: μ = 14, Ha: μ < 14. To do this, he selects 16 bags of this brand at random and determines the net weight of each. He finds the sample mean to be x = 13.88 and the sample standard deviation to be s = 0.24. Suppose in a similar test of 16 bags of these tortilla chips the P-value is 0.001. Further suppose that a is chosen to be 0.001. In that case, we would conclude that: Othere is not significant evidence that the mean net weight of the bags of chips is less than the advertised 14 oz. O there is not significant evidence that the mean net weight of the bags of chips is not less than the advertised 14 oz. O there is significant evidence that the…
Under what circumstances is a t statistic used instead of a z-score for a hypothesis test? Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?
A random sample of n = 25 is obtained from a population with variance ?2, and the sample mean is computed to be ?̅= 70. Consider the null hypothesis ?0: ? =80 versus the alternative hypothesis ?1: ? < 80. Compute the p-value when the population variance is ?2 = 600.
Suppose that having a widow's peak was a dominant trait (W) compared to not having a widow's peak (w). In a sample size of 30 students, 15 were observed to have a widow's peak and 15 did not have a widow's peak. The expected frequency of a widow's peak is 75% chance of getting it and a 25% chance of not getting it. Perform a chi square analysis to see if the data above agrees with the predicted outcome.
Dr. Maddan's eye drops are supposed to cause significant reduction is eye redness.
