10) (a) In a hypothesis testing procedure explain the difference between a type 1 and type 2 error (b) Explain the difference between a point estimate and an interval estimate? What is a confidence interval? (c) A poll service indicates that 74% of the public is opposed to a certain piece of legislation but there is a 95% margin of sampling error of 3.1%. Express these findings as a confidence interval. (d) You read in the paper that in a random sample of 80 voters 35% favored Perot. Construct a 95% confidence interval. What does this show about statistical results for proportions? (e) Two industrial procedures are compared. The null hypothesis is that they’re equal the alternative is that A is better than B. If the sample results are significant what can we conclude? (f) The EPA wants to test whether a parcel of water is fit to drink. The null hypopthesis is that the water is clean the alternative is that its dirty. If the results are significant should the EPA allow this water to be drunk? why? (g) A hypothesis test is conducted at a 5% level of significance. What is the probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis? (h) What is the consumer’s risk in an acceptance sampling situation?

1. In hypothesis testing, the hypothesis that is assumed to be true for the purpose of testing is called the hypothesis 2. (Circle the correct response) In hypothesis testing, critical values used to make a rejection decision regarding the null hypothesis are determined by the nature of the hypothesis test (two-tail vs. one-tail) and the d. significance level a. sample size b. population parameter c. target value 3. (Circle the correct response) In the process of hypothesis testing, the test...
1. In testing hypotheses, the researcher initially assumes that the alternative hypothesis is true and uses the sample data to reject it. True False 2. The first step in testing a hypothesis is to establish a true null hypothesis and a false alternative hypothesis. True False 6. The power curve provides the probability of Correctly accepting the null hypothesis Incorrectly accepting the null hypothesis Correctly rejecting the alternative hypothesis Correctly rejecting the null hypothesis 7. Suppose that Ho: μ ≤...
Which of the following statements describe a Type II error? astion 11 yet swered rked out of Flag estion Select one: a. Stating that there was an effect when actually there was no effect. O b. Stating that there was no effect when in fact there was an effect. c. Saying that a person is guilty as charged when in fact the person is innocent O d. A researcher rejects a true null hypothesis. RE ion 12 Confidence intervals are...
Suppose that you are testing the following hypotheses: Ho: = 10 and 11: > 10. If the null hypothesis is rejected at the 1% level of significance, what statement can you make about the confidence interval on the mean? a) The lower bound of a 95% one-sided confidence interval on the mean exceeds 10. b) 9 sus 13 c) No statement can be made. d) The lower bound of a 95% one-sided confidence interval on the mean exceeds zero. If...

Hypothesis testing and confidence intervals are the most common inferential tools used in statistics. Imagine that you have been tasked with designing an experiment to determine reliably if a patient should be diagnosed with diabetes based on their blood test results. Create a short outline of your experiment, including all of the following: a) A detailed discussion of your experimental design. b) How is randomization used in your sampling or assignment strategy? c) The type of inferential test utilized in...
3. As we have seen in class, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals are the most common inferential tools used in statistics.
