According to the local union president, the mean gross income of plumbers in the Salt Lake City area follows a normal distribution with a mean of $48,000 and a standard deviation of $2,000. A reacent investigative reporter for KYAK TV found, for a sample of 100 plumbers, the mean gross income was $47,600. If the sample size was 1000 plumbers and not 100, the p value calculation would lead one the believe that there is:
a: strong evidence that Ho is not true
b: some evidence that Ho is not true
c: very strong evidence that Ho is not true
d: extremely strong evidence that Ho is not true.
Therefore since the value is very less, its its some evidence.
Therefore (b) is the answer for this question

According to the local union president, the mean gross income of plumbers in the Salt Lake area follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of $45,000 and a standard deviation of $3,000. A recent investigative report for KYAK TV found, for a sample of 120 plumbers, the mean gross income was $45,500. At the .10 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude that the mean income is not equal to $45,500? Use the 5-step process; show your work.
Hypothesis Problems For the following hypothesis tests: a. State the null (Ho) and alternative (Hi) hypotheses b. State the type of test (right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed) c. State the multiplier for an a (level of significance) of .05. The Chamber of Commerce states that only 15% of Boston tourists stay more than 2 days. A new chamber employee feels that the percentage staying more than 2 days is greater than 15%, and plans to sample a set of tourists to...
1. We reject the null hypothesis only when: a. our sample mean is larger than the population mean. b. the p value associated with our test statistic is greater than the significance level of the test we have chosen. c. our sample mean is smaller than the population mean. d. the p value associated with our test statistic is smaller than the significance level of the test we have chosen. 2. In a study of simulated juror decision making, researchers...
FISCAL POLICY IN THEORY: March, 2020: we are on the verge of Congress and the President passing legislation that will empower the federal government to spend an unprecedented amount of EXTRA money not seen since World War 2 ---- in order to address the pandemic but also to help cushion the blow financially of perhaps ten or twenty million Americans --- or more --- losing their jobs, and thus suffering a drop in income. The scale of the 2020 recession...
