Homework Answers
a) using the z will result in a small critical value which means that the p value will be smaller than it really is. Essentially, one is moving the critical value closer to the mean then it should be. This means that for a given significance with the z , say 0.05 the true value is somewhere more than 0.05.
b) the true critical value will be larger than z .

It is believed that the mean population age in an area is 18.9. An investigator took a sample of 200 people and found a sample mean age of 21 with a sample standard deviation (σ) of 5. Test the hypothesis that the population mean is 18.9 at an alpha level of 0.05. a) State the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. b) State the test that should be used to test this hypothesis? c) Compute the appropriate test...

1) (7 points) An investigator hypothesizes that educating parents on proper nutrition and exercise will reduce the total cholesterol level of children. A sample of 20 children between the ages of ten to fifteen have agreed to have their total cholesterol level measured for this study. Suppose the investigator wishes to run a hypothesis test at a 5% level of significance. a) (1 point) What is the outcome variable? Is this outcome variable considered to be continuous or dichotomous? b)...

(C) If the confidence levels were 99.5% rather than 99.9% would
the margin of error be larger or smaller than the result in part
(a) ? Explain.
The margin of error would be ( larger or smaller ) , since ( an
increase or a decrease ) in the confidence level will ( decrease or
increase ) the critical value z a/2.

A criminal investigator conducts a study on the accuracy of fingerprint matching and recruits a random sample of 35 people to participate. Since this is a random sample of people, we don’t expect the fingerprints to match the comparison print. In the general population, a score of 80 indicates no match. Scores greater than 80 indicate a match. If the mean score suggests a match, then the fingerprint matching criteria are not accurate. The null hypothesis is that the mean...
