- This is part 'd' that isn't included in the picture. (d)Based on your answer to part (c), choose what can be concluded, at the 0.05 level of significance, about your claim. Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected. So, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the percentage of software engineers who rate the company they work for as "a great place to work" is not 92% . Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

A previous study she is aware of estimated it to be 32% but she believes this has increased in modern times. She collects a random sample of 150 people and 63 of them report relationship problems due to financial stress. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test in questions #22-#25. Compute the Z-score for this hypothesis test and round to two decimal places. z = 1.58 z = 2.06 z = 2.63 z = 0.84arrow_forwardCan you help me determine the test statistic, the P-value, and the conclusion for this hypothesis test?arrow_forward
- If a hypothesis is rejected at significance level α = 0.01, is it possible that the hypothesis is not rejected if the same test was done at significance level α = 0.05 (with everything else staying the same)?arrow_forwardIf the p-value is very large (say close to 1), then it is likely that we will reject the null hypothesis. True Falsearrow_forwardWhen asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. what is wrong about this?arrow_forward
- Answer the following True or False: Suppose a hypothesis test was performed with a level of significance of 0.05. Then if the null hypothesis is actually true, then there is a 5% chance that the researcher will end up accepting the alternative hypothesis in error. false truearrow_forwardA professor notices that more and more students are using their laptop computers in class to take notes. He wonders if this may improve academic success. To test this, the professor records the number of times each student uses his or her laptop during a class for one semester (Laptop) and the final grade in the class out of 100 points (Grade). The professor wants to conduct a hypothesis test to test whether or not there is a significant relationship between Laptop and Grade at the .05 level of significance.
