- Ex 9. Suppose that a national survey finds that 73 percent of restaurant employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. A random sample of 200 employees of a large restaurant chain finds that 141 employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the percentage of work-stressed employees for the restaurant chain differs from the national percentage. b. Use critical values to perform the hypothesis test by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001arrow_forward2. Consider the null hypothesis Ho:p = 0.18 indicates that the proportion of fat content of the burgers being sold in the canteen is 18% or less. Which of the following is true about the type l and type II error? A. A type I error occurs when the actual proportion is about 18% or more, but the null hypothesis is rejected. A type II error when the actual proportion is about18% or less but the null hypothesis is rejected. B. A type I error occurs when the actual proportion is about 18% or less, but the null hypothesis is rejected. A type II error occurs when the actual proportion is about 18% or more, but the null hypothesis is accepted. C. A type I error occurs when the actual proportion is about 18% or more, but the null hypothesis is accepted. A type II error occurs when the actual proportion is about 18% o less, but the null hypothesis is rejected. D. A type I error occurs when the actual proportion is about 18%, and the null hypothesis is rejected. A type II error occurs when the…arrow_forwardThe proportion of students who get an undergraduate degree in statistics in four years was compared for meals and females.

- A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 71%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test. Ho: 0 H: 0 Oarrow_forwardSuppose that we reject a null hypothesis at the 0.02 level of significance. The null hypothesis will definitely also be rejected for all the following α-values except for: A. 0.01B. 0.2C. 0.1D. 0.4E. 0.03arrow_forwardA decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 66%.

People with diabetes have lower systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes. People with diabetes have equal systolic blood pressure when compared to people without diabetes. People with diabetes have a systolic blood pressure equal to or lower than people without diabetes. None of these are a null hypothesis.arrow_forwardRecords for an automobile leasing company indicate that the average number of miles their automobiles are driven annually has been about 16,000miles. The company suspects that this number decreased last year. Suppose that the company wants to choose a small sample of distances driven in the past year and perform a hypothesis test to determine its suspicion. Formulate the null hypothesish and the alternative hypothesish that would be used to perform this test. ho: 0 μ ô OSO ロ=ロ X X O S Oarrow_forward1. Identify the parameter and set up null and alternative hypotheses. d. A drug company says their brand of over the counter pain medicine contains on average 1.25 grams of acetaminophen in each tablet. A consumer wants to find evidence against the drug company's claim. 1. Identify the parameter: 2. Null hypothesis: 3.

You want to see if the usual/average price of a Honda Civic is below the blue book value of $21,550. You are unsure that the prices of the current listings around you are lower than the blue book value of a Honda Civic so you randomly sample 49 listings from the area and find their sample mean selling price is $20,015 and their sample standard deviation is $1750.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_iosRecommended textbooks for you
