Question
The data table below shows the number of 100 cars sold for a specific brand. Researchers want to determine if there is a preference, the null hypothesis is that there is none.
|
Calculate the expected frequencies?
Calculate the test statistic (Chi-Squared)?
Using the critical value and the area of the upper tail (df=3), should we reject the null hypothesis if the α = 0.05?

Test whether the true mean of all bags is under 10 pounds. Set up hypotheses. Perform the appropriate test by showing your formula. Interpret the results using a Type I (alpha) error of .05. Also provide the p value here. Also construct a 95% confidence interval around your sample mean (X bar) that should contain the true mean (mu). Also interpret this interval.arrow_forward
- A data set includes data from student evaluations of courses. The summary statistics are n= 88, x= 4.09, s 0.66. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the population of student course evaluations has a mean equal to 4.25. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? O A. Ho: H=4.25 H: p4.25 Determine the test statistic. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Determine the P-value. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Ho.

A new training technique using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique on 150 students and observed that they had a mean of 106 hours. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 5 . Is there evidence at the 0.01 level that the technique performs differently than the traditional method?
