b. Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.
p-value=?
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Interpret the p-value. Choose the correct answer below.
A.
The probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic farther away from 0 in the positive direction than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean battery life between the two types of digital cameras.
B.
The probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic farther away from 0 in the negative direction than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean battery life between the two types of digital cameras.
C.
The probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic farther away from 0 in either direction than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean battery life between the two types of digital cameras.
c. What is meant by a “.05” level of significance ?
A.
the lowest level of significance for which we do not reject the null is 5%
B.
The probability of a Type II error is 5%
C.
we have a 5% chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true
D.
we have a 5% chance of not rejecting the null hypothesis when the null is false
First we need to find the mean and SD of all data sets. Following is the output of descriptive statistics:
Descriptive statistics | ||
Subcompact | Compact | |
count | 10 | 10 |
mean | 41.60 | 51.40 |
sample standard deviation | 11.94 | 13.65 |
sample variance | 142.49 | 186.27 |
minimum | 25 | 30 |
maximum | 57 | 70 |
range | 32 | 40 |
Let population 1: Subcompact
Population 2: Compact
Correct options:
C.The probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic farther away from 0 in either direction than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean battery life between the two types of digital cameras.
C.we have a 5% chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true

5. An important feature of digital cameras is battery life—the number of shots that can be taken before the battery needs to be recharged. The file Cameras contains the battery life information of 11 subcompact cameras and 7 compact cameras (Data extracted from “Cameras,” Consumer Reports, July 2012, pp. 42-44). Is there evidence of subcompact cameras have better battery life than compact cameras? (Use a 0.05 level of significance) Please show me step by step in excel data analysis how...
Digital cameras have taken over the majority of the point-and-shoot camera market. One of the important features of a camera is the battery life, as measured by the number of shots taken until the battery needs to be recharged. A random sample of 29 sub-compact cameras (Population D yielded a mean of 127 shots between recharges, with a standard deviation of 5.5 shots. A random sample of 16 compact cameras (Population 2) yielded a mean of 115 shots between recharges,...

Question 3 1 pts What is the meaning of the P-value provided by a one-way ANOVA? How likely that a mistake is made by rejecting a true null hypothesis If you reject the null hypothesis, there is a 5% chance that you're making an incorrect decision The probability that the observed test-statistic would occur by chance if the null hypothesis is true The probability that there is a difference between the sample means Question 4 1 pts What are the...

In one year, an online travel agency reported that summer travelers booked their airline reservations an average of 72.4 days in advance. A random sample of 40 summer travelers in a later year was selected, and the number of days travelers booked their airline reservations in advance was recorded. The data are shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a through c below. Click the icon to view the data table. a. Perform a hypothesis test using a = 0.01...
The mean life of a battery used in a digital clock is 305 days. The lives of the batteries follow a normal distribution. The battery was recently modified to last longer. A sample of 20 of the modified batteries had a mean life of 308 days with a standard deviation of 12 days. A hypothesis test is undertaken to determine whether the modification increased the battery life. What is the value of the test statistic for the hypothesis test? In...
A random sample of n = 12 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 70, and a treatment is administered to each individual in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 74.5 with SS = 297.

USA Today reported that the population mean life span of people who live in Hawaii is 77 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices gave a sample mean life span of ?̅= 71.4 years and a sample standard deviation s = 20.65 years. Assuming that the life span of people in Hawaii is normally distributed, does this indicate that the population mean life span is less than 77 years? Use a 5% level of significance. a.) What is α?...
