Question
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 0.22. You use a significance level of α=0.02α=0.02.
H0:p=0.22H0:p=0.22
HA:p≠0.22HA:p≠0.22
You obtain a sample of size n=521n=521 in which there are 87 successes.
What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =
The p-value is...
- less than (or equal to) αα
- greater than αα
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
- reject the null
- accept the null
- fail to reject the null

- A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate this year's mean hourly wage, µ, of foodservice workers in the U.S. Last year's mean hourly wage was $8.16, and there is good reason to believe that this year's value is greater than last year's. The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed increased. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $8.46, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.15. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H. and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test?

Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment.
