Question

Transcribed Image Text:We want to perform a hypothesis test of the statement that the population mean daily profit of a convenience store is more than490. So we record the daily gain
for a random sample of days. The sample has a mean of498and a standard deviation of77.
For each of the following sampling cases, choose an appropriate test statistic for the hypothesis test on the population mean. Then calculate that statistic. Round
answers to two decimal places.
(to) The sample has size16,and comes from a population that follows a normal distribution with an unknown standard
deviation.

According to a report done by S & J Power, the mean lifetime of the light bulbs it manufactures is 44 months. A researcher for a consumer advocate group tests this by selecting 16 bulbs at random. For the bulbs in the sample, the mean lifetime is 47 months. It is known that the population standard deviation of the lifetimes is 5 months. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean lifetime, μ, of light bulbs made by this manufacturer differs from 44 months? Perform a two-tailed test.

- The output below is for a t-test for the hypothesis: Individuals living in bad neighborhoods commit more crime than those living in good neighborhoods. The data in the Group Statistics section provides you with the average number of crimes committed by individuals living in good and bad neighborhoods and the standard deviation of this same variable. The findings of significance are located in the Independent Samples Test section. Pay particular attention to the "t" column and the "Sig (2-tailed)"column. The "t" column is the t value that you would have calculated by hand (as we learned in class). The "Sig (2-tailed)"column provides you with the p value (the level of significance of this relationship). In this column, any value below .05 indicates that you would have rejected your null hypothesis. 1. Can someone tell me about the relationship of all these data?
