Chapter 8, Problem 1DA

The Data Bank is found in Appendix B, or on the World Wide Web by following links from www.mhhe.com/math/stats/bluman/

1. From the Data Bank, select a random sample of at least 30 individuals, and test one or more of the following hypotheses by using the z test. Use α = 0.05.

a. For serum cholesterol, H0: μ = 220 milligram percent (mg%). Use σ = 5.

b. For systolic pressure, H0: μ = 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Use σ = 13.

c. For IQ, H0: μ = 100. Use σ = 15.

d. For sodium level, H0: μ = 140 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/l). Use σ = 6.

To determine

To test: The claim that H0:μ=220.

Answer to Problem 1DA

The conclusion is that there is sufficient evidence to infer that the average serum cholesterol level is differs from 220 milligram percent (mg%).

Explanation of Solution

Answer will vary. One of the possible answers is given below:

Given info:

Claim: H0:μ=220, n=35, σ=5 and α=0.05.

Calculation:

State the null and alternative hypotheses:

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ=220

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:μ220

Test statistic value and P-value:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain the test value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-Sample Z.
  • In Samples in Column, enter the column of Serum cholesterol.
  • In Standard deviation, enter 5.
  • In Perform hypothesis test, enter the test mean as 220.
  • Check Options; enter Confidence level as 95%.
  • Choose not equal in alternative.
  • Click OK in all dialogue boxes.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

From the output, the test value is –10.68 and the P-value is 0.000.

Make the Decision:

Decision rule:

If P-valueα, reject the null hypothesis

If P-value>α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

Here, the P-value is lesser than the level of significance.

That is, P-value(=0.000)<α(=0.05).

By the decision rule, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, the decision is “reject the null hypothesis”.

Summarize the result:

There is sufficient evidence to infer that the average serum cholesterol level is differs from 220 milligram percent (mg%).

Test statistic value and P-value:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain the test value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-Sample Z.
  • In Samples in Column, enter the column of Systolic pressure.
  • In Standard deviation, enter 13.
  • In Perform hypothesis test, enter the test mean as 120.
  • Check Options; enter Confidence level as 95%.
  • Choose not equal in alternative.
  • Click OK in all dialogue boxes.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

Connect hosted by ALEKS Access Card 52-Week for Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach, Chapter 8, Problem 1DA , additional homework tip  2

From the output, the test value is 4.81 and the P-value is 0.000.

Make the Decision:

Here, the P-value is lesser than the level of significance.

That is, P-value(=0.000)<α(=0.05).

By the decision rule, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, the decision is “reject the null hypothesis”.

Summarize the result:

There is sufficient evidence to infer that the average systolic pressure is differs from 120 millimetres of mercury (mm Hg).

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Claim: H0:μ=100, n=35, σ=15 and α=0.05.

Calculation:

State the null and alternative hypotheses:

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ=100

Alternative hypothesis:

From the output, the test value is 3.49 and the P-value is 0.000.

Make the Decision:

Here, the P-value is lesser than the level of significance.

That is, P-value(=0.000)<α(=0.05).

By the decision rule, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, the decision is “reject the null hypothesis”.

Summarize the result:

There is sufficient evidence to infer that the average IQ score is differs from 100.

To determine

To test: The claim that H0:μ=140.

Answer to Problem 1DA

The conclusion is that there is sufficient evidence to infer that the average sodium level is 140.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Claim: H0:μ=140, n=35, σ=6 and α=0.05.

Calculation:

State the null and alternative hypotheses:

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ=140

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:μ140

Test statistic value and P-value:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain the test value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-Sample Z.
  • In Samples in Column, enter the column of Sodium level.
  • In Standard deviation, enter 6.
  • In Perform hypothesis test, enter the test mean as 140.
  • Check Options; enter Confidence level as 95%.
  • Choose not equal in alternative.
  • Click OK in all dialogue boxes.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

Connect hosted by ALEKS Access Card 52-Week for Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach, Chapter 8, Problem 1DA , additional homework tip  4

From the output, the test value is 0.31 and the P-value is 0.757.

Make the Decision:

Here, the P-value is greater than the level of significance.

That is, P-value(=0.757)>α(=0.05).

By the decision rule, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

Thus, the decision is “fail to reject the null hypothesis”.

Summarize the result:

There is sufficient evidence to infer that the average sodium level is 140.
