H0: μ, the average attendance at games, is equal to 79,000 H1: μ, the average attendance at games, is greater than 79,000

You want to explore the relationship between the scores students receive on their first quiz and their first exam. You believe that there is anegative correlation between the two scores. What are the most appropriate null and alternative hypotheses regarding the population correlation?

H0: ρ = 0 and H1: ρ < 0

The principal of a middle school claims that test scores of the seventh-graders at her school vary less than the test scores of seventh-graders at a neighboring school, which have variation described by σ = 14.7. Express the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 in symbolic form.

H0: σ = 14.7 H1: σ < 14.7

The principal of a middle school claims that test scores of the seventh-graders at her school vary less than the test scores of seventh-graders at a neighboring school, which have variation described by σ = 17.4. Express the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 in symbolic form.

H0: σ = 17.4 H1: σ < 17.4

A researcher claims that the amounts of acetaminophen in a certain brand of cold tablets have a standard deviation different from the σ = 7.3 mg claimed by the manufacturer. Express the null hypothesis H 0 and the alternative hypothesis H 1 in symbolic form.

H0: σ =7.3 mg H1: σ ≠ 7.3 mg

A researcher claims that 26% of voters favor gun control.Express the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 in symbolic form.

H0:p = 0.26 H1: p ≠ 0.26

A researcher claims that the amounts of acetaminophen in a certain brand of cold tablets have a standard deviation different from the σ = 3.3 mg claimed by the manufacturer. Express the null hypothesis H 0 and the alternative hypothesis H 1 in symbolic form.

H0:σ = 3.3 mg H1:σ ≠ 3.3 mg

H1: p >16%

It is desired to estimate the average total compensation of CEOs in the Service industry. Data were randomly collected from 18 CEOs and the 97% confidence interval was calculated to be ($2,181,260, $5,836,180). Based on the interval above, do you believe the average total compensation of CEOs in the Service industry is more than $3,000,000?

I cannot conclude that the average exceeds $3,000,000 at the 97% confidence level.

Which of the following is always true?

If A and B are disjoint, then they cannot be independent.

Suppose a 95% confidence interval for µ turns out to be (1000, 2100). Give a definition of what it means to be 95% confident in an inference
