Q23 Suppose H0 is left-tailed and tTest = -2.26. (Note tTest not zTest). The tTest value was calculated from a sample of size n = 13. Which statement below is true? Select one:
a. Fail to reject H0 if level of significance = 0.022
b. Reject H0 if level of significance = 0.022
c. Reject H0 if level of significance = 0.03
d. Fail to reject H0 if level of significance = 0.01
Solution :
This is the left tailed test .
n = 13
degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 13 - 1 = 12
Test statistic = -2.26
P-value = 0.0216
= 0.022
P-value <
Reject the null hypothesis .
b. Reject H0 if level of significance = 0.022

(a) Suppose the null and alternative hypothesis of a test are: H0: μ= 9.7 H1: μ >9.7 Then the test is: left-tailed two-tailed right-tailed (b) If you conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.02 significance level and calculate a P-value of 0.07, then what should your decision be? Fail to reject H0 Reject H0 Not enough information is given to make a decision
Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Determine the critical value(s) for a right-tailed test of a population mean at the a = 0.01 level of significance with 15 degrees of freedom. (b) Determine the critical value(s) for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the a = 0.05 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 20. (c) Determine the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test of a population mean at the a=0.10 level of...
Consider testing H0: mu = 45 vs. H1: mu <> 45 at the alpha = 0.01 level of significance ('<>' means 'not equal'). A sample of size n = 50 is taken and a 99% confidence interval for mu is calculated as (33.4, 44.7). Then the test conclusion is: Reject H0 Do not reject H0 There is not enough information to determine the test conclusion
Complete parts (a) through (c) below (a) Determine the critical value(s) for a right-tailed test of a population mean at the ?-0.05 level of significance with 10 degrees of freedom (b Determine the critical value(s) for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the ? 0 01 level of significance based on a sample size of n-15 c) Determine the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test of a population mean at the ?:0.01 level of significance based on a...
True or false: Suppose a sample size of 103 was used to conduct a left tailed hypothesis test for a single population mean. The null hypothesis was H0: M= 22 and the p-value was 0.04. Then there is a 4% chance that the population mean is equal to 22.
Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna).† Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is x = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution...
Determine the critical value for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the α = 0.05 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 35. A. 1.691 B. -2.728 C. 1.690 D. -1.691
Is there a relationship between confidence intervals and two-tailed hypothesis tests? Let c be the level of confidence used to construct a confidence interval from sample data. Let α be the level of significance for a two-tailed hypothesis test. The following statement applies to hypothesis tests of the mean. For a two-tailed hypothesis test with level of significance α and null hypothesis H0: μ = k, we reject H0 whenever k falls outside the c = 1 − α confidence...
A sample of size 100, taken from a population whose standard deviation is known to be 8.90, has a sample mean of 51.16. Suppose that we have adopted the null hypothesis that the actual population mean is greater than or equal to 52, that is, H0 is that μ ≥ 52 and we want to test the alternative hypothesis, H1, that μ < 52, with level of significance α = 0.05. a) What type of test would be appropriate in...
Suppose you want to test the following hypotheses: H0: p ≥ 0.4 vs. H1: p < 0.4. A random sample of 1000 observations was taken from the population. Answer the following questions and show your Excel calculation for each question clearly: (a) Let p ̂ be the sample proportion. What is the standard error of sample proportion (i.e., σ_p ̂ ) if H0 is true? (b) If the sample proportion obtained were 0.38 (i.e., p ̂=0.38), what is its p-value?...
