Question

2.

The owner of a minor league football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 523, and he is therefore justified in moving the team to a city with a larger stadium. Assume that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject H0 at a strong significance level.

Which of the following is true?

a. Sample data suggests that the alternative claim is true.

b. Sample data proves that the null claim is true.

c. Sample data suggests that the null claim is true.

d. Sample data shows significant evidence of doubt regarding the alternative claim.

e. Sample data proves that the alternative claim is true.

Answer 1

first of all, hypothesis testing never proves or disproves any claim. So, option B and E are incorrect.

Claim is that the  average attendance at games is over 523

so, claim is alternate hypothesis and it is clear from the question that the null hypothesis is rejected.

Hence, Sample data suggests that the alternative claim is true.

option A is correct
