1. Conduct a test of the null hypothesis that the mean height for all students in the Census at School database is equal to 155 cm vs the alternative that the mean Height is greater than 155 cm. Use a significance level of 0.05.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho: m = 155
Ha: m > 155
b. Provide the Statcrunch output table.

c. Provide an explanation of the results (Is there statistically significant evidence for the alternative hypothesis?) You should reference your P-value in your explanation and explain how this led you to your conclusion.
2. Suppose you somehow find out that the actual mean height for the entire database population is 160 cm.
a. Looking back at your test from question 1, was the result of your test a correct decision, a Type I error, or a Type II error.
b. Explain (for example , did you reject a true null, fail to reject a false null, reject a false null, or fail to reject a true null).
3. Conduct a test of the null hypothesis that the proportion of all students in the Census at School database who take a car to school (column J) is equal to 50% vs. the alternative that the proportion is less than 50%. Use a significance level of 0.05.
Stat / proportion stats / 1 sample/with data . Column J is Travel_to_School and Success is ‘Car’. Fill in the appropriate options for null proportion and direction of test.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho: p = 0.5
Ha: p < 0.5

4. Suppose you somehow find out that the actual proportion for the entire database population is 48 %.
a. Looking back at your test from question 1 3, was the result of your test a correct decision, a Type I error, or a Type II error.
b. Explain.
i need help with the questions in bold please and thank you
Q 1)
P- value = 0.0036
Level of significance = 0.05
Since p value is less than significance level, We Reject H0.
Hence we have enough evidence that the mean Height for all students is greater than 155 cm

I need help determining the decision for null hypothesis. For 1&2, set the type one error to 1% for 3-5, set the type one error to 5% Go to Statcrunch shared data sets and use the file Nutritional Data for Fast Food 2017. Set the type one error equal to 1% Complete the following: 1) Use STAT - proportions stats - one sample w data to test the hypothesis that the proportion of "burgers" made by Wendy's restaurants is less...
1. You want to test whether you can reject the null hypothesis that a population mean is greater than or equal to 10. To do this, you collect a random sample of size 500 from the population, and you calculate that the sample mean and sample standard deviation are 8.6 and s, respectively. Which of the following is true? a. If s is any value between 11 and 13, you can reject the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level....
You set up a two-sided hypothesis test for a population mean μ with a null hypothesis of H0:μ=100. You chose a significance level of α=0.05. The p-value calculated from the data is 0.12, and hence you failed to reject the null hypothesis. Suppose that after your analysis was completed and published, an expert informed you that the true value of μ is 104. How would you describe the result of your analysis? A) A Type 1 error was made because...
1. What are null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis? 2. Inastatisticaltest,wehavethechoiceofatwo-tailedtest,aleft- tailed test, or a right-tailed test. Which hypothesis is the determining factor for choosing the direction of the test? (In other words, how would you decide it) 3. Forthesamesampledataandnullhypothesis,howdoesthe P-value for a two-tailed test compare to that for a one-tailed test? 4. Using P-value method, how would you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? (what is the decision criteria?) How does level of significance matter to the hypothesis...
Suppose that we wish to test the null hypothesis Ho that the proportion p of ledger sheets with errors is equal to .05 versus the alternative Ha , that the proportion is larger than .05, by using the following scheme. Two ledger sheets are selected at random. If both are error free, we reject Ho. If one or more contains an error, we look at a third sheet. If the third sheet is error free, we reject Ho. In all...

A hypothesis test is conducted to test the null hypothesis that the mean is less than 12. Use a 0.01 level of significance. What type of test is this? Right tail Two tail Left tail What is the critical value? 2.33 -2.33 1.78 correct answer is not given Suppose the test statistic was -2.50 What is the conclusion? Fail to reject Ho. There is not sufficent evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than 12. Reject Ho....
21 You are reading a report that contains a hypothesis test you are interested in. The writer of the report writes that the p-value for the test you are interested in is 0.091, but does not tell you the value of the test statistic. From this information you can: a You cannot decide based on this limited information. You need to know the value of the test statistic b Not reject the hypothesis at a Probability of Type I error...
Provide an appropriate response. Suppose that you perform a two-proportion z-test and reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the two proportions. If that conclusion is actually wrong, which type of error did you commit? No error was committed. The conclusion is correct. Type 1 Error Type II Error
Alejandra is using a one-sample ?‑test to test the null hypothesis ?0:?=10.0 against the alternative ?1:?<10.0 using a simple random sample of size ?=15. She requires her results to be statistically significant at level ?=0.05. Determine the maximum value of ?t that will reject this null hypothesis. You may find this table of ?t‑critical values useful. If you are using software, you may find this catalog of software guides useful. Give your answer to three decimal places. ?=
