A recent survey of 8,000 high school students found that the mean price of a prom dress was $195.00 with a standard deviation of $12.00. Alyssa thinks that her school is more fashion conscious and spent more than $195.00. She collected data from 20 people in her high school and found that the average price spent on a prom dress was $208.00. Which of the following is the correct z-statistic for this situation? 0.24 4.85 7.51 58.14

A recent survey of 8,000 high school students found that the mean price of a prom dress was $195.00 with a standard deviation of $12.00. Alyssa thinks that her school is more fashion conscious and that students spent more than $195.00. She collected data from 20 people in her high school and found that the average price spent on a prom dress was $208.00. Which of the following are the correct null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis?

H0: u=195; Ha= u>195

The College Board states that the average math SAT score is 514 with a standard deviation of 117. Colleen gathered data from 50 students in her graduating class and found the average score to be 523. She thinks that her class's math SAT score is different from the average. Which of the following are the correct null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis?

H0: u=514: Ha: u doesn't = 514

Julian is a manager at a clothing store for teens. He is analyzing the order for next season. Data for the previous 10 years suggests that teens are willing to spend an average of $75 for a pair of designer jeans with a standard deviation of $5. However, Julian thinks the average may have changed due to a recession. He finds that the last three seasons of data show that teens spent an average of $68 on a pair of jeans Therefore, he performed a hypothesis test to see if the recent average is the same. Julian used a significance level of 5% to perform the test. Which of the following statements is valid based on the results? Julian's data shows that the recent seasons' average jean price is not $75. Julian's data shows that he should order fewer jeans than before. Julian's data shows that the recent seasons' average jean price is still $75. Julian's data is inconclusive, so he should order the same number of jeans.

Julian's data shows that the recent seasons' average jean price is not $75.

A study investigated the job satisfaction of teachers allowed to choose supplementary curriculum for their classes versus teachers who were assigned all curricular resources for use in their classes. The authors of the study wanted to know if the two groups of teachers had different levels of job satisfaction. They will use a significance level of 5% for their test. What is (are) the critical value(s) for z in this study? -1.65 and 1.65 -1.96 and 1.96 1.65 1.96

NOT 1.65

A researcher collated data on Americans' leisure time activities. She found the mean number of hours spent watching television each weekday to be 2.7 hours with a standard deviation of 0.4 hours. Jonathan believes that his football team buddies watch less television than the average American. He gathered data from 15 football teammates and found the mean to be 2.3. Which of the following shows the correct z-statistic for this situation? -3.87 -0.26 3.22 5.22

NOT 3.22

A study investigated the job satisfaction of teachers allowed to choose supplementary curriculum for their classes versus teachers who were assigned all curricular resources for use in their classes. On average, when surveyed regarding job satisfaction, teachers give a score of 3.3 out of 5 with a standard deviation of 0.6. When the authors of the study interviewed 40 teachers who supplemented with their own materials, they found 3.5 to be the mean. The authors wanted to know if the group of teachers that could choose supplementary curriculum had a higher level of job satisfaction. They used a significance level of 1%. Which of the following statements is valid based on the results of the test? The data shows that teachers allowed to choose supplementary curriculum for classes are more satisfied with their jobs. The data shows that teachers who were assigned all curricular resources for classes are more satisfied with their jobs. The data shows that there is no difference in job satisfaction between the two groups of teachers. The data shows that the authors cannot make a determination either way with this data.

NOT The data shows that there is no difference in job satisfaction between the two groups of teachers.

Tyesha found that the z-statistic was 2.1 and that the critical z-values were -1.96 and 1.96. Which of the following is a valid conclusion based on these results? One can reject the null hypothesis. One can reject the alternate hypothesis. One can accept the null hypothesis. One cannot accept or reject the null hypothesis.

One can reject the null hypothesis.
