Question
YouTube would like to test the hypothesis that the average length of an online video watched by a user is more than 8 minutes. A random sample of 37 people watched online videos that averaged 8.7 minutes in length. It is believed that the population standard deviation for the length of online videos is 2.5 minutes. YouTube would like to set α = 0.02. Which one of the following statements is true?
a) Because the p-value is less than α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average length of an online video is less than 8 minutes.
b) Because the p-value is greater than α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average length of an online video is not more than 8 minutes.
c) Because the p-value is greater than α, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average length of an online video is more than 8 minutes.
d) Because the p-value-value is less than α, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average length of an online video is more than 8 minutes.

- Currently patrons at the library speak at an average of 69 decibels. Will this average decline after the installation of a new computer plug in station? After the plug in station was built, the librarian randomly recorded 41 people speaking at the library. Their average decibel level was 67 and their standard deviation was 5. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? v| Select an answer v H1: ? v Select an answer v c. The test statistic ? v = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? v a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer v the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The data suggest the populaton mean has significantly decreased from 69 at a = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean decibel…arrow_forwardZappos is an online retailer based in Nevada and employs 1,300 employees. One of their competitors, Amazon.com, would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a Zappos employee is less than 36 years old. A random sample of 22 Zappos employees was found to have an average age of 33.9 years. The standard deviation for this sample was 4.1 years. Amazon would like to set α = 0.025. The correct hypothesis statement for this hypothesis test would be A) H0: μ = 33.9; H1: μ ≠ 33.9. B) H0: μ = 36; H1: μ ≠ 36. C) H0: μ ≤ 36; H1: μ > 36. D) H0: μ ≥ 36; H1: μ < 36.arrow_forwardMike thinks that there is a difference in quality of life between rural and urban living. He collects information fromarrow_forward
- The brain volumes (cm³) of 20 brains have a mean of 1113.7 cm³ and a standard deviation of 128.9 cm³. Use the give standard deviation and the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high. For such data, would a brain volume of 1361.5 cm³ be significantly high? 3 Significantly low values are cm³ or lower. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)arrow_forwardThere are frogs and koi in a pond, and the number of frogs and the number of koi in the pond are independent. Let X represent the number of frogs in any given week, and let Y represent the number of koi in any given week. X has a mean of 28 with a standard deviation of 2.7, and Y has a mean of 15 with a standard deviation of 1.6. Which answer choice correctly calculates and interprets the standard deviation of the difference, D = X - Y? = 1.05; this pond can expect the difference of frogs and koi to vary by approximately 1.05 from the mean. = 1.1; this pond can expect the difference of frogs and koi to vary by approximately 1.1 from the mean. = 3.1; this pond can expect the difference of frogs and koi to vary by approximately 3.1 from the mean. = 13; this pond can expect the difference of frogs and koi to vary by approximately 1.05 from the mean.arrow_forwardA statistician wishing to test a hypothesis that students score at most 75% on the final exam in an introductory statistics course decides to randomly select 20 students in the class and have them take the exam early. The average score of the 20 students on the exam is 72% and the standard deviation in the population is known to be = 15%. The statistician calculates the test statistic to be –0.8944. If the statistician chose to do a two-sided alternative, the P-value would be calculated by: a. finding the area to the right of –0.8944 and doubling it. b. finding the area to the left of –0.8944 and doubling it. c. finding the area to the right of the absolute value of –0.8944 and dividing it by two. d. finding the area to the left of –0.8944arrow_forward
