Exam 9: Hypothesis Tests About the Mean and Proportion

In a hypothesis test with hypotheses and ,a random sample of 59 elements selected from the population produced a mean of 35.8.Assuming that 9.9,what is the approximate p-value for this test? (round your answer to four decimal places)

Use the following to answer questions : Thousands of people nationwide are to take part in a Spring Clean-Up day along highways near their hometowns. The goal is to have individuals collect an average of 50 pounds (or more) of garbage. In a random sample of 36 people, an average of 46.3 pounds was collected, with a standard deviation of 9.2 pounds. The significance level is 2%. -Does the data provide evidence to suggest that the goal is not being met? (State your answer as "no" or "yes",but don't include the quotation marks.)

Use the following to answer questions : A researcher wants to test if the mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is different from $110,000.A random sample of 53 lawyers selected from the city reveals a mean annual salary of $114,000.Assume that $17,000,and that the test is to be made at the 1% significance level. -What is the value of the test statistic,z,rounded to three decimal places?

A researcher wants to test if the mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is different than $110,000.The alternative hypothesis for this example will be that the population mean is:

Use the following to answer questions : A company that manufactures light bulbs claims that its light bulbs last an average of 1,150 hours.A sample of 25 light bulbs manufactured by this company gave a mean life of 1,097 hours and a standard deviation of 133 hours.A consumer group wants to test the hypothesis that the mean life of light bulbs produced by this company is less than 1,150 hours.The significance level is 5%.Assume the population is normally distributed. -What is the value of the test statistic,t,rounded to three decimal places?

Use the following to answer questions : In a hypothesis test with hypotheses and ,a random sample of size 481 produced a sample proportion of 0.4350.The test is to be made at the 5% significance level. -What is the value of the test statistic,z,rounded to three decimal places?

Use the following to answer questions : A researcher wants to test if the elementary school children spend less than 30 minutes per day on homework.A random sample of 64 children from the school shows that they spend an average of 24.5 minutes per day on homework.Assume that 15.3 minutes,and that the test is to be made at the 1% significance level. -What is the p-value for this hypothesis test,rounded to four decimal places?

Use the following to answer questions : In a hypothesis test with hypotheses H₀ : μ=90 and H₁ : μ ≠ 90 , a random sample of 103 elements selected from the population produced a mean of 94.3. Assume that σ = 22.1, and that the test is to be made at the 5% significance level. -What is the value of the test statistic,z,rounded to three decimal places?

In a hypothesis test with hypotheses and ,a random sample of 100 elements selected from the population produced a mean of 137.0.Assuming that 28.1,what is the approximate p-value for this test? (round your answer to four decimal places)

Use the following to answer questions : A researcher wants to test if the mean price of houses in an area is greater than $145,000.A random sample of 35 houses selected from the area produces a mean price of $149,700.Assume that $13,100,and that the test is to be made at the 1% significance level. -What is the p-value for this hypothesis test,rounded to four decimal places?

A two-tailed hypothesis test contains:
