7. Teacher Salaries A teacher’s union representative claims that there is a difference in the salaries earned by teachers in Wisconsin and Michigan. The table shows the salaries (in thousands of dollars) of a random sample of 11 teachers from Wisconsin and 12 teachers from Michigan. At a = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the representative’s claim? (Adapted from National Education Association)

- Overtime Rule in Football The accompanying table lists results of overtime football games before and after the overtime rule was changed in the National Football League in 2011. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim of independence between winning an overtime game and whether playing under the old rule or the new rule.

- Which of these 3 statements is not true?arrow_forwardA statistician wishing to test a hypothesis that students score at least 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 students on the exam is 78%. The hypothesis the statistician wants to test is: a. H0: = 75 vs. Ha: > 78. b. H0: = 75 vs. Ha: > 75. c. H0: = 75 vs. Ha: = 78. d. H0: = 75 vs. Ha: < 75arrow_forwardWhat are the hypotheses for the test? A. H0: β1≠0 and Ha: β1=0 B. H0: β1=0 and Ha: β1<0 C. H0: β1=0 and Ha: β1>0 Your answer is not correct. D.
