10.1 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10.6% of high school students currently use electronic cigarettes. A high school counselor is concerned the use of e-cigs at her school is higher. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

(a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Hypothesis testing is a procedure, based on sample evidence and probability, used to test statements regarding a characteristic of one or more populations. The parameter being tested is the proportion of high school students at the counselor's high school that use electronic cigarettes. The null hypothesis, H0, is a statement to be tested; it is a statement of equality. The null hypothesis is assumed to be true until evidence indicates otherwise. It is a statement regarding the value of a population parameter. The alternative hypothesis, H1, is a statement to be tested; it is a statement of inequality. We are trying to find evidence for the alternative hypothesis. It is a statement regarding the value of the population parameter. Convert the percent 10.6% to a decimal. 10.6%=0.106 The hypotheses are stated below. H0:p=0.106 H1:p>0.106 (b) If the sample data indicate that the null hypothesis should not be rejected, state the conclusion of the high school counselor. When the null hypothesis is not rejected, the alternative hypothesis is not supported. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of high school students exceeds 0.106 at this counselor's high school. (c) Suppose, in fact, that the proportion of students at the counselor's high school who use electronic cigarettes is 0.293. Was a type I or type II error committed? A Type I error is committed when the null hypothesis is rejected when, in fact, it is true. A Type II error is committed when the null hypothesis is not rejected when, in fact, the alternative hypothesis is true. Thus, a Type II error was committed because the sample evidence led the counselor to conclude the proportion of e-cigs users at her school was 0.106, when, in fact, the proportion is higher.

10.5 A simple random sample of size n=15 is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found to be x=21.6 and the sample standard deviation is found to be s=6.5. Determine if the population mean is different from 28 at the α=0.01 level of significance. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

(a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. The first step is to determine which parameter is being tested. This problem is testing the population mean, μ, to see if it has changed from a previous value. Next set up the hypothesis test. The test is two-tailed. The null and alternative hypotheses are shown below. H0: μ=28 H1: μ≠28 (b) Calculate the P-value. Since the parameter is the mean and the standard deviation of the population is not known use the Student's t-distribution. The sample size needs to be greater than 30 or the sample must come from a population that is normally distributed. Since the sample size, mean, and standard deviation are known, technology can be used to perform a one-sample t-test. Use technology to determine the exact P-value, rounding to three decimal places. Keep in mind that this is a two-tailed test. P=0.002 (c) State the conclusion for the test. If the P-value is less than the α value, reject H0. If the P-value is greater than the α value, do not reject H0. (d) State the conclusion in context of the problem. If the P-value is less than the α value, reject H0 and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at the α=0.01 level of significance that the population mean is different than 28. If the P-value is greater than the α value, do not reject and conclude there is not sufficient evidence that the population mean is different than 28.

10.6 To test H0: p=0.65 versus H1: p<0.65, a simple random sample of n=200 individuals is obtained and x=122 successes are observed. (a) What does it mean to make a Type II error for this test? (b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.05 level of significance, compute the probability of making a Type II error, β, if the true population proportion is 0.61. What is the power of the test? (c) Redo part (b) if the true population proportion is 0.55.

(a) If the null hypothesis is false, but the null hypothesis is not rejected, a Type II error has been made. For a Type II error to occur in this experiment, H0 would not be rejected and the true population proportion is less than 0.65. (b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.05 level of significance, compute the probability of making a Type II error, β, if the true population proportion is 0.61. What is the power of the test? The critical value for a α=0.05 level of significance is 1.645. This means that any value of the sample statistic, p, that satisfies the following inequality will lead to rejecting H0. Note that p0 is the assumed true population proportion. p<p0−1.645•p01−p0n Substitute the appropriate values into the formula and determine the maximum sample proportion that leads to rejecting H0, rounding to four decimal places. p0−1.645•p01−p0n =0.65−1.645•0.65(1−0.65)200 =0.5945 Determine the probability of not rejecting H0, assuming the true population proportion is 0.61. Rewrite the inequality using the z-score, rounding to four decimal places. β = Pp>0.5945 = Pz>0.5945−0.610.61(1−0.61)200 = P(z>−0.4494) Use technology to find the area under the standard normal curve to the right of the previously calculated z-score, −0.4494, rounding to four decimal places. β=P(z>−0.4494) β=0.6734 The probability of not rejecting H0: p=0.65 when, in fact, H1: p<0.65 is true, if the true population proportion is 0.61, is 0.6734. The power of the test is 1−β, where β is the probability computed in the previous step. Power=1−0.6734 Power=0.3266. (c) Redo part (b) if the true population proportion is 0.55. The values of the sample proportion, p0, that lead to rejecting H0 are the same as in part (b), because they only depend on the null and alternative hypotheses, and do not depend on the true population proportion. Determine the probability of not rejecting H0, assuming the true population proportion is 0.55. Rewrite the inequality using the z-score, rounding to four decimal places. β = Pp>0.5945 = Pz>0.5945−0.550.55(1−0.55)200 = P(z>1.2650) Use technology to find the area under the standard normal curve to the right of the previously calculated z-score, 1.2650, rounding to four decimal places. β=P(z>1.2650) β=0.1029 The probability of not rejecting H0: p=0.65 when, in fact, H1: p<0.65 is true, if the true population proportion is 0.55, is 0.1029. The power of the test is 1−β, where β is the probability computed in the previous step. Power=1−0.1029 Power=0.8971

10.3 To test H0: μ=20 versus H1: μ<20, a simple random sample of size n=19 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. Answer parts (a)-(d). LOADING... Click here to view the t-Distribution Area in Right Tail.

(a) If x=18.5 and s=4.1, compute the test statistic. Use the formula t0= x−μ0 / s/ sqrt n to calculate the test statistic because the objective is to test a statement about a population mean with unknown standard deviation. Substitute the values given in the problem statement into the formula and evaluate. t0= 18.5−20 / 4.1/sqrt 19 ≈−1.59 Thus, the test statistic is −1.59. (b) Draw a t-distribution with the area that represents the P-value shaded. Determine whether to use a two-tailed, a left-tailed, or a right-tailed test. The table below shows which test to use depending on the null and alternative hypotheses. Since the null and alternative hypotheses are H0: μ=20 and H1: μ<20, use a left-tailed test. The graph below shows the area that represents the P-value shaded. A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal axis. On the left side of the graph, a vertical line runs from the axis to the curve. The area under the curve to the left of the vertical line is shaded. (c) Approximate the P-value. Use a calculator, statistical software, or a t-distribution table to approximate the P-value using the test statistic from part (a). The P-value is equal to the area in the left tail. Recall that P(t<−1.59)=P(t>1.59). Using the t-distribution table, we find that the area with test statistic 1.59 and 18 degrees of freedom is between 0.05 and 0.10. Thus, 0.05<P-value<0.10. (d) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.05 level of significance, will the researcher reject the null hypothesis? Reject the null hypothesis only if the P-value is less than α. Since the P-value is not less than α, the researcher will not reject the null hypothesis.

10.6 Explain what it means to make a Type II error. Choose the correct answer below. A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and the alternative is true. B. Reject the null hypothesis and the null is true. C. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and the null is true. D. Reject the null hypothesis and the alternative is true.

A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and the alternative is true. Note: A Type II error is made when we fail to reject the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis is true.

10.3 Explain the difference between statistical significance and practical significance. Choose the correct answer below. A. Statistical significance means that the sample statistic is not likely to come from the population whose parameter is stated in the null hypothesis. Practical significance refers to whether the difference between the sample statistic and the parameter stated in the null hypothesis is large enough to be considered important in an application. B. Statistical significance refers to how an unusual event is unlikely to actually appear in a real world application, such as every entry in a sample of size 50 having the same value. Practical significance refers to how an unusual event is likely to actually appear in a real world application, such as a rejection of a null hypothesis using data that looks feasible. C. Statistical significance refers to the type of hypothesis test needed to analyze a population, with some tests being more important than Z tests. Practical significance refers to how difficult a desired hypothesis test is to perform in an application, with some tests being easier to perform than others. D. Statistical significance means that the hypothesis test being performed is useful for building theoretical foundations for other statistical work. Practical significance means that the particular application of the hypothesis test is of great importance to the real world.

A. Statistical significance means that the sample statistic is not likely to come from the population whose parameter is stated in the null hypothesis. Practical significance refers to whether the difference between the sample statistic and the parameter stated in the null hypothesis is large enough to be considered important in an application. A statistically significant result may be of no practical significance. Note: While different hypothesis tests are used in different situations, it is not correct to say that some are "more important" than others. A statistically significant result may be of no practical significance.

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased. B. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased. C. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has not changed. D. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has not changed.

B. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased.

10.1 If the consequences of making a Type I error are severe, would you choose the level of significance, α, to equal 0.01, 0.05, or 0.10? Choose the correct answer below. A. 0.10 B. 0.05 C. 0.01

C. 0.01 Note: Choose a small α to make it difficult to reject H0.

10.1 State the conclusion based on the results of the test. According to the Federal Housing Finance Board, the mean price of a single-family home two years ago was $299,600. A real estate broker believes that because of the recent credit crunch, the mean price has increased since then. The null hypothesis is rejected. Choose the correct answer below. A. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has decreased from its level two years ago of $299,600. B. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has decreased from its level two years ago of $299,600. C. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,600. D. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,600.

C. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,600.

Determine the appropriate type of hypothesis test to conduct for this research. The first step is to determine which parameter is being tested. The parameter being tested is the mean IQ, μ, of the children at age 5. Use this to determine the appropriate type of hypothesis test. The appropriate hypothesis test is a hypothesis test on a population mean. Next, determine the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is a statement that we are trying to find evidence to support. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: μ=100 H1: μ>100 Next, check the conditions for testing hypotheses regarding a population mean. First, the sample must be obtained using simple random sampling or from a randomized experiment. It is given that the sample is a simple random sample of mothers and their infants, so this condition is met. Next, the sample must have no outliers and either the population from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed, or the sample size, n, is large (n≥30). It is given that IQs are normally distributed, so the population from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed. It is reasonable to assume that the sample has no outliers, as the sample standard deviation is not large when compared to the sample mean. Finally, the sampled values should be independent of each other. That is, the sample size is less than 5% of the population size. The sample size is less than 5% of the population size, because 20 mothers is less than 5% of all mothers. Thus, all of the conditions are met and the hypothesis test can proceed. The test statistic for the hypothesis test on a population mean can be calculated using technology or the following formula, where x is the sample mean, μ0 is the assumed value of the population mean, s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size. t0=x−μ0sn For this exercise, use technology to calculate the test statistic. Identify the values of x, μ0, s, and n to be entered into technology. x=104.7 μ0=100 s=16.1 n=20 Enter the values x=104.7, μ0=100, s=16.1, and n=20 into technology to determine the value of the test statistic t0, rounding to two decimal places. t0=1.31 The P-value is the probability of observing a sample statistic as extreme or more extreme than one observed under the assumption that the statement in the null hypothesis is true. For the hypothesis test on a population mean with the population standard deviation unknown, the test statistic follows Student's t-distribution with n−1 degrees of freedom. While technology or a t-distribution Table can be used to find the P-value, in this problem, technology will be used. Use the same technology output that was used to find the test statistic to find the P-value, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.104 State the conclusion for the test. If the P-value is less than the level of significance α, reject H0. Otherwise, do not reject H0. Compare the P-value to the level of significance. Use this information to draw an appropriate conclusion about the P-value.

10.1 Determine whether the following statement is true or false. Sample evidence can prove that a null hypothesis is true. Choose the correct answer below. True False

False Note: because although sample data is used to test the null hypothesis, it cannot be stated with 100% certainty that the null hypothesis is true. It can only be determined whether the sample data supports or does not support the null hypothesis.

10.3 A golf association requires that golf balls have a diameter that is 1.678 inches. To determine if golf balls conform to the standard, a random sample of golf balls was selected. Their diameters are shown in the accompanying data table. Do the golf balls conform to the standards? Use the α=0.10 level of significance. LOADING... Click the icon to view the data table. Golf Ball Diameter (inches) 1.681 1.676 1.683 1.680 1.678 1.682 1.684 1.683 1.672 1.684 1.684 1.673

First determine the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is a statement that the test is trying to find evidence to support. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. H0: μ=1.678 H1: μ≠1.678 Next select a level of significance, α. As given, use the α=0.10 level of significance. Now find the test statistic t0. This can be found using technology or the formula below, where x is the sample mean, μ0 is the hypothesized mean, s is the sample standard deviation, n is the sample size, and the test statistic follows Student's t-distribution with n−1 degrees of freedom. t0=x−μ0sn For the purposes of this explanation, use technology to perform the test. Note that this is a two-tailed test because the alternative hypothesis uses the ≠ symbol. Use technology to find the test statistic, rounding to two decimal places. Enter the given data into technology to test H0: μ=1.678 vs. H1: μ≠1.678. t0=1.61 Find the P-value for this hypothesis test. Identify the P-value from your technology output, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.136 If P-value<α, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis. Then state the conclusion.

10.4 Suppose a mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk if the standard deviation of its monthly rate of return is less than 7%. A mutual-fund rating agency randomly selects 31 months and determines the rate of return for a certain fund. The standard deviation of the rate of return is computed to be 5.12%. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the fund has moderate risk at the α=0.05 level of significance? A normal probability plot indicates that the monthly rates of return are normally distributed.

First state the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. The population parameter that is being tested is the population standard deviation, σ. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. The null hypothesis is always a statement of equality. The hypothesis H0: σ=0.07 states that the population standard deviation is equal to the assumed value. The alternative hypothesis is a statement you are trying to find evidence to support. The alternative hypothesis is always a statement of inequality. The hypothesis H1: σ<0.07 states the values for the population standard deviation needed to show that the mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk. To test the hypotheses H0: σ=0.07 versus H1: σ<0.07, first calculate the test statistic χ20, where n is the sample size, s is the sample standard deviation, and σ is the population standard deviation. χ20=(n−1)s2σ20 Assume σ=0.07. Identify the value of n, the sample size. n=31 Identify the value of s, the sample deviation, and convert it to a decimal. s=5.12%=0.0512 Now substitute 31 for n, 0.0512 for s, and 0.07 for σ. Then simplify and round to two decimal places. χ20 = (n−1)s2σ20 = (31−1)(0.0512)2(0.07)2 Substitute. = 16.05 Simplify. Next find the P-value for the test statistic. Since this is a left-tailed test, the P-value is the probability of getting a value of χ2 less than the test statistic χ20. Note that P(χ2<χ20), the area to the left of the test statistic, is 1−P(χ2>χ20), the area to the right. Use technology to find the area to the right of χ20=16.05 under the curve of the χ2 distribution with 31−1=30 degrees of freedom, rounding to three decimal places. P(χ2>16.05)=0.982 Now find the P-value. 1−0.982=0.018 If the P-value is less than the level of significance α, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis. Compare the P-value, 0.018, to the level of significance, α=0.05. The P-value is less than α. Use this information to determine the correct conclusion and interpret the conclusion in the context of the problem.

10.1 If we do not reject the null hypothesis when the statement in the alternative hypothesis is true, we have made a Type _______ error.

II Note: A Type I error occurs if the null hypothesis is rejected when, in fact, the null hypothesis is true. A Type II error occurs if the null hypothesis is not rejected when, in fact, the alternative hypothesis is true.

10.6 To test H0: p=0.55 versus H1: p<0.55, a simple random sample of n=375 individuals is obtained and x=195 successes are observed. If the true population proportion is 0.52 and the level of significance of α=0.05 is used, β=0.6832 and the power of the test is 0.3168.

If the true population proportion is 0.52 and the level of significance of α=0.05 is used, β=0.6832 and the power of the test is 0.3168. Now repeat the test with a significance level of α=0.01. The critical value for a α=0.01 level of significance is 2.326. This means that any value of the sample statistic, p, that satisfies the following inequality will lead to rejecting H0. p<p0−2.326•p01−p0n Determine the maximum sample proportion, rounding to four decimal places, that leads to rejecting H0. p = 0.55−2.326•0.55(1−0.55)375 = 0.4902 Determine the probability of not rejecting H0, assuming that the true population proportion is 0.52. Rewrite the inequality using the z-score, rounding to four decimal places. β = Pp>0.4902 = Pz>0.4902−0.520.52(1−0.52)375 = P(z>−1.1551) Use technology to find the area under the standard normal curve to the right of the previously calculated z-score, −1.1551, rounding to four decimal places. β = P(z>−1.1551) = 0.8760 The power of the test is 1−β, where β is the probability computed in the previous step, rounding to four decimal places. Power=1−0.8760 Power=0.1240 When the level of significance was lowered from α=0.05 to α=0.01, the power of the test went from 0.3168 to 0.1240. As the probability of rejecting a true H0 is lowered, the probability of not rejecting a false H0 increases, thus lowering the power.

10.1 The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. What parameter is being tested? H0:μ=120 H1:μ<120 Choose the correct answer below. Two-tailed Left-tailed Right-tailed What parameter is being tested? p σ μ

Left-tailed; μ

10.5 A simple random sample of size n=250 drivers with a valid driver's license is asked if they drive an American-made automobile. Of the 250 drivers surveyed, 133 responded that they drive an American-made automobile. Determine if a majority of those with a valid driver's license drive an American-made automobile at the α=0.05 level of significance.

Qualitative, or categorical, variables allow for classification of individuals based on some attribute or characteristic. Quantitative variables provide numerical measures of individuals. The values of a quantitative variable can be added or subtracted and provide meaningful results. A discrete variable is a quantitative variable that has either a finite number of possible values or a countable number of possible values. A continuous variable is a quantitative variable that has an infinite number of possible values that are not countable. A continuous variable may take on every possible value between any two values. The variable "drive an American-made automobile, or not" is qualitative, with two possible outcomes of driving an American-made automobile and not driving an American-made automobile. Determine the appropriate type of hypothesis test to conduct for this research. The first step is to determine which parameter is being tested. This problem is testing the proportion, p, of drivers that drive an American-made automobile. Use this to determine the appropriate type of hypothesis test. The appropriate hypothesis test is a hypothesis test on a population proportion. Next, determine the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is a statement that we are trying to find evidence to support. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: p=0.5 H1: p>0.5 The sampling distribution of the sample proportion p is approximately normal, provided that the sample is a simple random sample, that np01−p0 is greater than or equal to 10 where n is the sample size and p0 is the hypothesized population proportion, and that the sampled values are independent of each other (or that the sample size is less than 5% of the population size). Check these requirements. It is given that the sample is a simple random sample of all drivers with valid driver's licenses. To check that np01−p0 is at least 10, first find the values of n and p0. n = 250 p0 = 0.5 Find the value of np01−p0. np01−p0 = 250(0.5)(1−0.5) = 62.5 Therefore, the value of np01−p0 is greater than or equal to 10. Also notice that the sample size is less than 5% of the population size, because 250 drivers is less than 5% of all drivers. Since the sample is a simple random sample, np01−p0=62.5 is greater than 10, and 250 drivers is less than 5% of all drivers, the normal distribution can be used. The next step is to calculate the test statistic. The test statistic for the hypothesis test on a population proportion can be calculated using technology or the formula below, where p=xn is the sample proportion, x is the number of individuals in the sample with the specified characteristic, n is the sample size, and p0 is the hypothesized population proportion. z0=p−p0p01−p0n For this exercise, use technology to calculate the test statistic. First, identify the value of x. x=133 Enter the values n=250, x=133, and p=0.5 into technology to determine the value of the test statistic z0, rounding to two decimal places. z0=1.01 The P-value is the probability of observing a sample statistic as extreme or more extreme than one observed under the assumption that the statement in the null hypothesis is true. For the hypothesis test on a population proportion, the test statistic follows the standard normal distribution. While technology or a standard normal distribution table can be used to find the P-value, in this problem, technology will be used. Use the same technology output that was used to find the test statistic to find the P-value, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.156 State the conclusion of the hypothesis test. If the P-value is less than the level of significance α=0.05, reject H0. Otherwise, do not reject H0. Compare the P-value to the level of significance. Use the comparison to draw an appropriate conclusion about the P-value.

10.3 The life expectancy of a male during the course of the past 100 years is approximately 27,682 days. Use the table to the right to conduct a test using α=0.10 to determine whether the evidence suggests that chief justices live longer than the general population of males. Suggest a reason why the conclusion drawn may be flawed. Chief Justice Life Span (Days) A 31,126 I 30,843 B 31,819 J 30,539 C 24,613 K 32,877 D 30,525 L 32,142 E 28,496 M 29,039 F 29,223 N 26,014 G 28,686 O 33,749 H 31,338 P 27,204

State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to assess whether chief justices live longer than the general population of males. The hypotheses can be structured in one of three ways. Two-tailedLeft-tailedRight-tailedH0: μ=μ0H0: μ=μ0H0: μ=μ0H1: μ≠μ0H1: μ<μ0H1: μ>μ0 Identify the value of μ0, the assumed value of the population mean. μ0=27,682 Determine which type of test should be used. A right-tailed test should be used. Now determine the hypotheses that should be used. H0: μ=27,682 versus H1: μ>27,682 Use the P-value approach at the α=0.10 level of significance to test the hypotheses. The P-value is the probability of observing a sample statistic as extreme or more extreme than one observed under the assumption that the statement in the null hypothesis is true. The test statistic for this test follows Student's t-distribution with n−1 degrees of freedom. First find n, the size of the sample . n=16 Now use technology to find x, the sample average. Round to the nearest integer. x≈29,890 Use technology to find s, the sample standard deviation. Round to the nearest integer. s≈2485 Use technology to find the P-value by substituting 16 for n, 29,890 for x, and 2485 for s. Recall that this hypothesis test is right-tailed and the alternative hypothesis is in the form of H1: μ>μ0. Round the result to three decimal places. P-value≈0.001 If the P-value is less than the level of significance, α, reject H0. Otherwise, do not reject H0. Write a conclusion based on the results. Reject H0 if the P-value is less than the level of significance, α=0.10, and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the statement in H1. Otherwise, do not reject H0 and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the statement in H1. Suggest a reason why the conclusion drawn may be flawed. To test hypotheses regarding the population mean, the sample must be obtained using simple random sampling or from a randomized experiment. The sample must not have any outliers, and the population from which the sample is drawn must be normally distributed or the sample size, n, must be large (n≥30). The sampled values must also be independent of each other. Recall that n, the size of the sample, is 16. Use this information to determine why the conclusion may be flawed.

State the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is a statement such that evidence is gathered in an attempt to support. Identify the null hypothesis. H0: μ=9.02 Identify the alternative hypothesis. H1: μ<9.02 Identify the t-statistic. The formula below can compute the test statistic, where x is the sample mean, μ0 is the hypothesized population mean, s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size. t0=x−μ0sn While either the formula or technology can be used to compute the test statistic, for the purposes of this exercise, use technology. Use technology to compute the test statistic, rounding to two decimal places. t0=−3.77 Review the technology output from the previous step to determine the P-value, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.001 Make a conclusion regarding the hypothesis. The null hypothesis is rejected if the P-value is less than the level of significance. Otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis. Use this information and the hypotheses from a previous step to make a conclusion for the hypothesis test.

10.5 In 1945, an organization asked 1600 randomly sampled American citizens, "Do you think we can develop a way to protect ourselves from atomic bombs in case others tried to use them against us?" with 808 responding yes. Did a majority of the citizens feel the country could develop a way to protect itself from atomic bombs in 1945? Use the α=0.1 level of significance.

The first step is to determine which parameter is being tested. The parameter being tested is proportion, p, because the exercise is testing a majority, which is a proportion. To test the hypothesis, first verify the requirements; that is, the sample must be a simple random sample, np01−p0≥10, and the sample size cannot be more than 5% of the population size. Determine the value of p0 by interpreting the given statement. The statement is that the majority of the citizens feel the country could develop a way to protect itself from atomic bombs. A portion is said to have the majority if it is greater than 50%. The value of p0 is 0.50. Compute np01−p0 to verify that np01−p0≥10. np01−p0 = (1600)(0.50)(1−0.50) = 400 Thus, np01−p0=400≥10 Determine if the sample size is less than 5% of the population size. Divide the sample size by 5% (0.05). 16000.05=32,000 We can assume that the population of American citizens is greater than 32,000. It was also stated that the sample is a simple random sample. Thus, all of the requirements are satisfied. Now that all the requirements have been verified, the next step is to determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: p=0.50 H1: p>0.50 Now find p using the formula p=xn, where x is the number of individuals in the sample with the specified characteristic and n is the sample size. p = xn = 808/1600 = 0.505 Calculate the test statistic z0. Substitute 0.505 for p, 0.50 for p0, and 1600 for n into the formula below. z0 = p−p0p01−p0n = 0.505−0.500.50(1−0.50)1600 = 0.4 While technology or a standard normal distribution table can be used to find the area, in this problem, technology will be used. Find the P-value associated with z0=0.4, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.345 Compare the P-value to the level of significance. If the P-value is less than the α value, reject H0. If the P-value is greater than the α value, do not reject H0.

10.1 The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. What parameter is being tested? H0: σ=7.8 H1: σ≠7.8

The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference. The null hypothesis is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. It will be a statement regarding the value of a population parameter. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is assumed to be true if evidence shows the null hypothesis to be false. It will be a statement regarding the value of a population parameter. The three different types of hypothesis tests are described below. 1. Equal hypothesis versus not equal hypothesis (two-tailed test), if H0 parameter=x and H1 parameter≠x. 2. Equal versus less than (left-tailed test), if H0 parameter=x and H1 parameter<x. 3. Equal versus greater than (right-tailed test), if H0 parameter=x and H1 parameter>x. Notice that in the given hypothesis test, the null hypothesis uses "=" and the alternative hypothesis uses "≠". Therefore, the hypothesis test is two-tailed. What parameter is being tested? Look closely at the problem statement. Since both the null and alternative hypotheses given in the problem statement contain the parameter σ, it is the parameter that is being tested.

10.2 Test the hypothesis using the P-value approach. Be sure to verify the requirements of the test. H0: p=0.4 versus H1: p>0.4 n=300; x=145, α=0.1

To test the hypothesis, first verify the requirements; that is, the sample must be a simple random sample, np0(1−p0)≥10, and the sample size cannot be more than 5% of the population size. Compute np0(1−p0) to verify that np0(1−p0)≥10. Since no other information is given, assume the other requirements are satisfied. np0(1−p0)=(300)(0.4)(1−0.4)=72 Thus, np0(1−p0)=72≥10 and all of the requirements are satisfied. The next step in this approach is to find the P-value. Use technology to find the P-value, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.002 Finally, compare the P-value with α. If P-value<α, reject the null hypothesis.

10.2 In a clinical trial, 20 out of 875 patients taking a prescription drug daily complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 1.5% of patients taking competing drugs complain of flulike symptoms. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 1.5% of this drug's users experience flulike symptoms as a side effect at the α=0.05 level of significance?

To test the hypothesis, first verify the requirements; that is, the sample must be a simple random sample; np01−p0≥10, where n is the sample size and p0 is the assumed population proportion; and the sample size cannot be more than 5% of the population size. It is not explicitly stated that the sample is random. However, since this is a clinical trial, it is reasonable to assume that the sample is a simple random sample. It is reasonable to assume that 875 is less than 5% of the population size. Compute np01−p0 to verify that np01−p0≥10, rounding to one decimal place. np01−p0 =(875)(0.015)(1−0.015) =12.9 Thus, np01−p0=12.9≥10 and all of the requirements are satisfied. Now that all the requirements have been verified, the next step is to determine the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is a statement that one is trying to find evidence to support. The statement is that more than 1.5% of this drug's users experience flulike symptoms as a side effect. The null and alternative hypotheses are shown below. H0:p=0.015 versus H1: p>0.015 Notice that this is a right-tailed test because the hypotheses are of the form H0: p=p0 versus H1: p>p0. The formula for the test statistic, z0, is shown below, where p=xn is the sample proportion, p0 is the assumed population proportion, and n is the sample size. z0=p−p0 / sqrt p0(1−p0)/n While either technology or formulas and tables can be used to conduct this hypothesis test, in this problem, use technology. First, identify the sample size. n=875 Next, identify the number of successes in the sample. Let a success be someone complaining of flulike symptoms. x=20 Determine the test statistic for a right-tailed test with a sample of size n=875 with x=20 successes, rounding to two decimal places. z0=1.91 Now continue with the P-value approach. Use the technology output generated when finding the test statistic to determine the P-value, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.028 Compare the P-value with the level of significance α. If the P-value is less than α, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis.

10.2 In a previous poll, 49% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 1207 adults with children under the age of 18 were selected at random, and 575 of those 1207 adults reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the α=0.1 significance level.

To test the hypothesis, first verify the requirements; that is, the sample must be a simple random sample; np01−p0≥10, where n is the sample size and p0 is the assumed population proportion; and the sample size cannot be more than 5% of the population size. Notice that the adults in the survey were selected at random. Therefore, the requirement of a random sample is satisfied. It is reasonable to assume that 1207 is less than 5 percent of the number of adults with children under the age of 18 in the population. Since no other information is given, assume that the sample is a random sample. Compute np01−p0 to verify that np01−p0≥10, rounding to one decimal place. np01−p0 =(1207)(0.49)(1−0.49) =301.6 Thus, np01−p0=301.6≥10 and all of the requirements are satisfied. Now that all the requirements have been verified, the next step is to determine the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is a statement that one is trying to find evidence to support. The statement is that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased. The null and alternative hypotheses are shown below. H0: p=0.49 versus H1: p<0.49 Notice that this is a left-tailed test because the hypotheses are of the form H0: p=p0 versus H1: p<p0. The formula for the test statistic, z0, is shown below, where p=xn is the sample proportion, p0 is the assumed population proportion, and n is the sample size. z0=p−p0p01−p0n While either technology or formulas and tables can be used to conduct this hypothesis test, in this problem, use technology. First, identify the sample size. n=1207 Next, identify the number of successes in the sample. Let a success be a family eating dinner together seven nights a week x=575 Determine the test statistic for a left-tailed test with a sample of size n=1207 with x=575 successes, rounding to two decimal places. z0=−0.95 Now continue with the P-value approach. Use the technology output generated when finding the test statistic to determine the P-value, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.172

10.1 According to a report, the standard deviation of monthly cell phone bills was $5.05 in 2017. A researcher suspects that the standard deviation of monthly cell phone bills is higher today. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in words. (b) State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically. (c) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error. (d) Explain what it would mean to make a Type II error.

a) A hypothesis is a statement regarding a characteristic of one or more populations. Hypothesis testing is a procedure, based on sample evidence and probability, used to test statements regarding a characteristic of one or more populations. The parameter being tested is the standard deviation of monthly cell phone bills. The null hypothesis, denoted H0 (read "H-naught"), is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. In other words the null hypothesis is a statement of status quo or no difference and always contains a statement of equality. It is a statement regarding the value of a population parameter. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1 (read "H-one"), is a statement that we are trying to find evidence to support. The null and alternative hypotheses in words are as follows. H0: The standard deviation of monthly cell phone bills is $5.05. H1: The standard deviation of monthly cell phone bills is greater than $5.05. (b) The hypotheses in symbols are as follows. H0:σ=$5.05 H1:σ>$5.05 (c) A type I error is committed when the null hypothesis is rejected when, in fact, it is true. The sample evidence led the researcher to believe the standard deviation of monthly cell phone bills is higher than $5.05 when, in fact, the standard deviation of the bill is $5.05. (d) A type II error is committed when the null hypothesis is not rejected when the alternative hypothesis is true. For this problem, a type II error occurs when the sample evidence did not lead the researcher to believe the standard deviation of monthly cell phone bills is higher than $5.05 when, in fact, the standard deviation of bills is higher than $5.05.

10.3 To test H0: μ=105 versus H1: μ≠105 a simple random sample of size n=35 is obtained. Complete parts a through e below. LOADING... Click here to view the t-Distribution Area in Right Tail.

a) Does the population have to be normally distributed to test this hypothesis? Why? If the sample is obtained using simple random sampling, the sample has no outliers, and the population from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed or the sample size, n, is large (n≥30), use the t-distribution to test hypotheses regarding the population mean with unknown σ. Since n=35≥30 and the sample is obtained using simple random sampling, the population does not have to be normally distributed to test this hypothesis. (b) If x=102.0 and s=5.6, compute the test statistic. The test statistic is given by the formula below. t0=x−μ0sn Compute the test statistic. t0=x−μ0sn t0=102.0−1055.635 t0≈−3.17 (c) Draw a t-distribution with the area that represents the P-value shaded. Since the null and alternative hypotheses are H0: μ=105 and H1: μ≠105, the test is a two-tailed test. Draw a t-distribution with the area that represents the P-value shaded. The correct graph is shown below. A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal axis. Two vertical lines, equidistant from the curve's peak at the center, extend from the axis to the curve on the left and right sides of the graph. The areas under the curve to the left of the left vertical line and to the right of the right vertical line are shaded. (d) Approximate and interpret the P-value. Since the test is a two-tailed test, P-value=P(t0<−3.17 or t0>3.17). P-value=P(t0<−3.17 or t0>3.17) P-value=P(t0<−3.17)+P( t0>3.17) P-value=2P(t0>3.17) Use the table of the t-distribution. Note that df=n−1=34. Since 3.17 is between 3.002 and 3.348, P(t0>3.17) is between 0.001 and 0.0025. Thus, since P-value=2P(t0>3.17), the P-value is between 0.002 and 0.005. A P-value is the probability of observing a sample statistic as extreme or more extreme than the one observed under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. Put another way, the P-value is the likelihood or probability that a sample will result in a sample mean such as the one obtained if the null hypothesis is true. Interpret the P-value. If 1000 random samples of size n=35 are obtained, about 3 samples are expected to result in a mean as extreme or more extreme than the one observed if μ=105. (e) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.01 level of significance, will the researcher reject the null hypothesis? To state the appropriate conclusion, compare the P-value to the level of significance, α. The null hypothesis is rejected if P-value<α. Since the P-value is less than the α=0.01 level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of high school students stayed 0.102 at this counselor's high school. C. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of high school students stayed 0.102 at this counselor's high school. D.

(c) Suppose, in fact, that the proportion of students at the counselor's high school who use electronic cigarettes is 0.222. Was a type I or type II error committed? A. A Type II error was committed because the sample evidence led the counselor to conclude the proportion of e-cig users was 0.222, when, in fact, the proportion is lower. B. A Type II error was committed because the sample evidence led the counselor to conclude the proportion of e-cig users was 0.102, when, in fact, the proportion is higher. C. A Type I error was committed because the sample evidence led the counselor to conclude the proportion of e-cig users was 0.222, when, in fact, the proportion is lower. D. A Type I error was committed because the sample evidence led the counselor to conclude the proportion of e-cig users was 0.102, when, in fact, the proportion is higher.

a) H0:p=0.102 H1:p>0.102 b)A. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of high school students exceeds 0.102 at this counselor's high school Note: When the null hypothesis is rejected, we say that there is sufficient evidence to support the statement.

a) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis, denoted H0, is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference that is tested in an experiment. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1, is a statement that is contrary to the null hypothesis. The hypotheses can be structured in one of three ways. Two-tailedLeft-tailedRight-tailedH0: μ=μ0H0: μ=μ0H0: μ=μ0H1: μ≠μ0H1: μ<μ0H1: μ>μ0 Identify the value of μ0, which is the assumed population mean. μ0=21 Note that the goal of the test is to determine if students are scoring above a certain score. The key word "above" means that a right-tail test is the appropriate test. Now determine the hypotheses that should be used. The hypotheses below can be used to represent this problem. H0: μ=21 versus H1: μ>21 b) Verify that the requirements to perform the test using the t-distribution are satisfied. To test hypotheses regarding the population mean, the sample must be obtained using simple random sampling or from a randomized experiment. The sample must not have any outliers, and the population from which the sample is drawn must be normally distributed or the sample size, n, must be large (n≥30). The sampled values must also be independent of each other. Identify the value of n, the sample size. n=150 Use the value of n and the information in the problem statement to determine if the requirements to perform the test using the t-distribution are satisfied. c) Use the P-value approach at the α=0.05 level of significance to test the hypotheses in part (a). The formula displayed below is used to find the test statistic. Either the formula or technology can be used. For the purpose of this problem, use technology. t0=x−μ0sn Identify the value of x, the sample mean. x=21.4 Identify the value of s, the sample standard deviation. s=4.2 Use technology to compute the test statistic, rounding to two decimal places. t0 = 1.17 Review the technology output from the previous step to determine the P-value, rounding to three decimal places. P-value=0.123 d) Write a conclusion based on the results. Reject H0 if the test statistic is more extreme than the critical value, and conclude that there is sufficient evidence that the population mean is greater than 21. Otherwise, do not reject H0 and conclude there is not sufficient evidence that the population mean is greater than 21.

10.1 For students who first enrolled in two-year public institutions in a recent semester, the proportion who earned a bachelor's degree within six years was 0.379. The president of a certain junior college believes that the proportion of students who enroll in her institution have a lower completion rate. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in words. (b) State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically. (c) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error. (d) Explain what it would mean to make a Type II error.

(a) A hypothesis is a statement regarding a characteristic of one or more populations. Hypothesis testing is a procedure, based on sample evidence and probability, used to test statements regarding a characteristic of one or more populations. The parameter being tested is the proportion of students who earned a bachelor's degree within six years at the institution. The null hypothesis, denoted H0 (read "H-naught"), is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. In other words the null hypothesis is a statement of status quo or no difference and always contains a statement of equality. It is a statement regarding the value of a population parameter. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1 (read "H-one"), is a statement that we are trying to find evidence to support. The null and alternative hypotheses in words are as follows. H0: Among students who enroll at the certain junior college, the completion rate is 0.379. H1: Among students who enroll at the certain junior college, the completion rate is less than 0.379. (b) The hypotheses in symbols are as follows. H0:p=0.379 H1:p<0.379 (c) A Type I error is committed when the null hypothesis is rejected when, in fact, it is true. For example, a Type I error would occur if the sample evidence that leads the president to conclude the proportion of students who earn a bachelor's degree within six years is less than 0.379 when, in fact, the proportion is 0.379. (d) A Type II error is committed when the null hypothesis is not rejected when, in fact, the alternative hypothesis is true. For example, a Type II error would occur if the sample evidence that leads the president to conclude the proportion of students who earn a bachelor's degree within six years is equal to 0.379 when, in fact, the proportion is less than 0.379.

10.1 The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is known to be σ=1.6 psi. Due to changes in the manufacturing process, the quality-control manager feels that the pressure variability has been reduced. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in words. (b) State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically. (c) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error. (d) Explain what it would mean to make a Type II error.

(a) A hypothesis is a statement regarding a characteristic of one or more populations. Hypothesis testing is a procedure, based on sample evidence and probability, used to test statements regarding a characteristic of one or more populations. The parameter being tested is the standard deviation in pressure. The null hypothesis, denoted H0 (read "H-naught"), is a statement to be tested. The null hypothesis is a statement of no change, no effect, or no difference and is assumed true until evidence indicates otherwise. In other words the null hypothesis is a statement of status quo or no difference and always contains a statement of equality. It is a statement regarding the value of a population parameter. The alternative hypothesis, denoted H1 (read "H-one"), is a statement that we are trying to find evidence to support. The null and alternative hypotheses in words are as follows. H0: The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is 1.6 psi. H1: The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is less than 1.6 psi. (b) The hypotheses in symbols are as follows. H0:σ=1.6psi H1:σ<1.6psi (c) A Type I error is committed when the null hypothesis is rejected when, in fact, it is true. For example, a Type I error occurs if the quality-control manager rejects the hypothesis that the pressure variability is 1.6, when, in fact, it is the true pressure variability. (d) A Type II error is committed when the null hypothesis is not rejected when the alternative hypothesis is true. For example, a Type II error occurs if the quality-control manager fails to reject the hypothesis that the pressure variability is 1.6, when, in fact, the true pressure variability is less than 1.6.

10.4 To test H0: σ=25 versus H1: σ<25, a random sample of size n=31 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. (a) If the sample standard deviation is determined to be s=23.3, compute the test statistic. (b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.05 level of significance, use technology to determine the P-value. (c) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis?

(a) To test a hypothesis about a population standard deviation, the test statistic is χ20=(n−1)s^2 /σ^20. Use the given values of n, s, and σ to calculate the test statistic. Substitute 31 for n, 23.3 for s, and 25 for σ, simplify, and round to two decimal places. χ20=(n−1)s^2 /σ^20 =(31−1)(23.3)^2/(25)^2 Substitute. =26.06 Simplify. (b) Since this is a left-tailed test, the P-value is the probability of getting a value of χ^2 less than the test statistic χ ^20. Note that P(χ^2<χ^20), the area to the left of the test statistic, is 1−P(χ^2>χ^20), the area to the right. Use technology to find the area to the right of χ^20=26.06 under the curve of the χ^2 distribution with 31−1=30 degrees of freedom, rounding to three decimal places. P(χ^2>26.06)=0.672 Now find the P-value. 1−0.672=0.328 (c) If the P-value is less than the level of significance α, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis. Compare the P-value, 0.328, to the level of significance, α=0.05. The P-value is greater than α. Use this information to determine the correct conclusion
