Milk has a pH of 6.7, which is slightly acidic. Cheese makers add a culture to milk to lower the pH, making it more acidic and turning it into cheese. A manufacturer is experimenting with a new culture that claims to produce a pH of 5.2, which is perfect for cheddar cheese. A set of 50 test batches resulted in an average pH of 5.11. A one-sample tt-test was conducted to investigate whether there is evidence that the mean pH is different from 5.2. The test resulted in a p-value of 0.018.
Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the p-value?
a)The probability that the true pH is equal to 5.2 is 0.018.
b)The probability that the true pH is different from 5.2 is 0.018.
c)The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
d)The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or more is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
e)The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less, or of 5.29 or more, is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
The correct interpretation of p - value for the given problem is:
The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less, or of 5.29 or more, is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
Option E is correct.

4. The FloridaLakes dataset describes characteristic of water samples taken at random Florida lakes. Acidity (pH) is given for each lake. Pure water has a pH of 7,which is neutral. with a pH less than 7 are acidic while solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. A rcher Jim Lee would like to know whether on average the solutions in Florlida lakes are acidic. In order to test whether on average the solutions in Florida lakes...

the same brand/model. The university supplier has three different models. The lab manager has borrowed one of each of the three models for a week in order to test which one is the most reliable before deciding to do the purchase. A co-op student who works in the lab is assigned to test each pH meter seven times with a solution that has a known pH of 7. The plot below is the result of the pH analysis (of the...
Questions points Answer the following questions: An entrepreneurial scientist has invented a supplement that she believes can enhance short-term memory. She conducts an experiment to test the effect of the supplement on 23 volunteers, 12 of whom are given a placebo and 11 of whom are given the supplement. In analyzing in her study, she obtains a p-value of 0.19. Which of the following is a reasonable interpretation of her results This proves that at most 19% of the time,...
8) (3 pts) Schlitz has been told that every thousand dollars added to the median household income should increase the page cost by less than $750. She wishes to test whether the regression provides convincing evidence to reject this claim. Therefore, she should test a) H0: βINCOME = -0.750 versus Ha: βINCOME < -0.750 b) H0: βINCOME = 0.750 versus Ha: βINCOME < 0.750 c) H0: βINCOME = -0.750 versus Ha: βINCOME ≠ -0.750 d) H0: βINCOME = 0.750 versus...
1. The television program Nightline once asked viewers whether the United Nations should continue to have its headquarters in the United States. Two phone numbers weregiven. Viewers were asked to call one telephone number to respond “Yes” and the other to respond “No”. More than 186,000 callers responded and 67% said “No.” This isan example ofA. voluntary response sampling.B. a survey with little bias because a large SRS was used.C. a survey with little bias since someone who called would...
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...
5. When all of the sample to be collected has left the column, will the drop of solution coming off the tip of the column be acidic, basic or neutral? 6. How many H+ ions would be displaced from the ion exchange column by 1 Cu2+ ion? 7. Binding sites on the ion exchange resin are saturated with which ion before the sample solution is added? 8. Ions are displaced from the resin binding sites by any ion that has...
Case study Company Case Campbell Soup Company: Watching What You Eat You might think that a well-known, veteran consumer products company like the Campbell Soup Company has it made. After all, when people think of soup, they think of Campbell’s. In the $5 billion U.S. soup market, Campbell dominates with a 44 percent share. Selling products under such an iconic brand name should be a snap. But if you ask Denise Morrison, CEO of Campbell, she’ll tell you a different...
