- You are conducting a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that mu is less than or equal to 850. You are testing at the 0.01 significance level. You take a sample of size 64 and calculate your test statistic to be -1.50. What would your test statistic be if, rather than mu<= 850, your null hypothesis was that mu >= 850?arrow_forwardWomen athletes at a certain university have a long-term graduation rate of 67%. Over the past several years, a random sample of 38 women athletes at the school showed that 23 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than 67%? Use a 10% level of significance. What is the level of significance? (b) State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p = 0.67; H1: p > 0.67 H0: p = 0.67; H1: p ≠ 0.67 H0: p < 0.67; H1: p = 0.67 H0: p = 0.67; H1: p < 0.67 What sampling distribution will you use? The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5. The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the P-value of the test statistic.

In a sample of 81 adults selected from one town, it is found that 8 of them have been exposed to a particular strain of the flu. At 0.01 level of significance, you wish to test the claim that the proportion of all adults in the town that have been exposed to this strain of the flu is 8%.arrow_forward
- More than 59% of adults would erase all their personal information. The hypothesis test results in a p value of .0241. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis.

Before beginning construction at a new site, an agent will take a sample of soil and run a significance test on the mean lead level in the soil. If the mean lead level in the sample is significantly higher than 400 ppm, then the soil is deemed unsafe and construction cannot continue. Here are the hypotheses for this test: Ho : µ 400 ppm (soil is unsafe) (where u is the mean lead level in the soil at the new site). Which of the following would be a Type I error in this setting? Choose 1 answer: The soil is actually safe, and the sample result is below 400 ppm. so construction continues. The soil is actually safe, and the sample result is significantly higher than 400 ppm. so construction stops. The soil is actually unsafe, and the sample result is below 400 ppm, so construction continues. The soil is actually unsafe, and the sample…arrow_forwardFrom 2012-2017 the 5 year remission rate of Breast cancer was 91%. Suppose we wish to know if that percentage has changed in 2020. We take a random sample of 360 breast cancer survivors from 2015-2020 and find out that 315 have remained in remission since. Use a significance level of α = .05. (a) State the null and alternate hypothesis (b) Can we continue with testing the hypothesis? Why or why not? (c) If possible, proceed with the hypothesis test and reach a conclusion.arrow_forward
- You are conducting a study to see if the probability of a true negative on a test for a certain cancer is significantly different from 0.34. You use a significance level of α=0.005α=0.005.

An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than 4% today. She randomly selects 135 pregnant mothers and finds that 4 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the a= 0.1 level of significance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Họ: P = 0.04 versus H,: p < 0.04 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Because npo (1- Po) =U (Round to one decimal place as needed.) 10, the normal model be used to approximate the P-value.arrow_forward
- An researcher has decided to use significant level α = 0.01 for her experiment. What is the consequence? Group of answer choices The probability of a Type II error is small. There is a small chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. The probability of a Type I error is large. If the null hypothesis is false, the experimenter will easily be able to reject it.arrow_forwardA recent study claimed that at least 15% of junior high students are overweight. In a sample of 160 students, 18 were found to be overweight. At a = 0.05, test the claim. Step 1) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Step 2) Determine the critical value for the level of significance, a. Step 3) Find the test statistic or P-value. Step 4) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis or do not the null hypothesis? Step 5) Write the conclusion. HTML EditorÉ BIUA -エE= 国x 三 曲,回 深四 12pt Para SAMSUNG 9%arrow_forward
