A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 9 112 11 111 0.05 μ
Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.
Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
The null hypothesis:H0: The alternative hypothesis:H1: The type of test statistic:(Choose one)ZtChi squareF The value of the test statistic:(Round to at least three decimal places.) The critical value at the 0.05 level of significance:(Round to at least three decimal places.) Can we conclude, using the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean IQ score of this year's class is greater than that of previous years?YesNo |

A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 22 this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 119, with standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 112. If we assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are normally distributed, is there enough...

A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 22 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean 1Q score is 119, with standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean 1Q score for entering students from previous years is 112. If we assume that the 1Q scores of this year's entering class are normally distributed, is there...

A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 16 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 116, with standard deviation of 10. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 113. If we assume that the 10 scores of this year's entering dass are normally distributed, is there...

Loretta, who turns 91this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 22 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 131mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 22 mmHg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is...

A laboratory claims that the mean sodium level, μ, of a healthy adult is 142 mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of 35 adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 137 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 12 mEq. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the...

A decade-old study found that the proportion, p, of high school seniors who believed that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 70%. A researcher decides to test whether or not that percentage still stands. He finds that, among the 215 high school seniors in his random sample, 143 believe that "getting rich" is an important goal. Can he conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion has indeed changed? Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in...

It seems these days that college graduates who are employed full-time work more than 40-hour weeks. Data are available that can help us decide if this is true. A survey was recently sent to a group of adults selected at random. There were 15 respondents who were college graduates employed full-time. The mean number of hours worked per week by these 15 respondents was 45 hours, with a standard deviation of 9 hours. Assume that the population of hours worked...

A decade-old study found that the proportion, p, of high school seniors who believed that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 75%. A researcher decides to test whether or not that percentage still stands. He finds that, among the 225 high school seniors in his random sample, 175 believe that "getting rich" is an important goal. Can he conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the proportion has indeed changed? Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in...

In order to conduct a hypothesis test for the population mean, a random sample of 20 observations is drawn from a normally distributed population. The resulting sample mean and sample standard deviation are calculated as 12.9 and 2.4, respectively. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or ttable). Ho : μ 12.1 against HA: μ > 12.1 a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places...
