a:
The test hypothesis.
a:
Explanation of Solution
The null hypothesis (H0) is
The t table value can be calculated as follows:
The t table value is 2.074.
The t value (t) can be calculated as follows:
The calculated t value is 0.43, and the p value is 0.6703. Since the p value is significantly different from 0, the alternate hypothesis is not accepted.
b:
The test hypothesis with increasing standard deviation.
b:
Explanation of Solution
The t table value can be calculated as follows:
The t table value is 2.074.
The t value (t) can be calculated as follows:
The calculated t value is 0.04, and the p value is 0.9716. Since the p value is significantly different from 0, the alternate hypothesis is not accepted.
c:
The impact of increasing standard deviation.
c:
Explanation of Solution
When the standard deviation increases, it reduces the calculated t value and increases the p value.
d:
The test hypothesis with increasing sample.
d:
Explanation of Solution
The t table value can be calculated as follows:
The t table value is 1.96.
The t value (t) can be calculated as follows:
The calculated t value is 1.53, and the p value is 0.1282. Since the p value is significantly different from 0, the alternate hypothesis is not accepted.
e:
The impact of increasing sample.
e:
Explanation of Solution
When the sample size increases, it increases the t value and reduces the p value.
f:
The test hypothesis with increasing mean value.
f:
Explanation of Solution
The t table value can be calculated as follows:
The t table value is 2.074.
The t value (t) can be calculated as follows:
The calculated t value is 0.72, and the p value is 0.4796. Since the p value is significantly different from 0, the alternate hypothesis is not accepted.
g:
The impact of increasing mean value.
g:
Explanation of Solution
When the mean increases, it increases the t value and reduces the p value.

- Fewer young people are driving. In 1995, 63.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Bloomberg reported that percentage had dropped to 41.7% in 2016. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,200 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in 1995 and again in 2016. a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in 1995? Margin of error (to four decimal places) Interval estimate to (to four decimal places) b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in 2016? Margin of error = (to four decimal places) Interval estimate = to (to four decimal places) c. Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)? - Select your answer v Why, or why not?arrow_forwardQuestion: In a survey of buying habits, 400 women shoppers are chosen at random in super market 'A' located in a certain section of the city. Their average weekly food expenditure is dollar 250 with a standard deviation of Dollar 40. For 400 women shoppers chosen at random in super market 'B' in another section of the city, the average weekly food expenditure is Dollar 220 with a standard deviation of Dollar 55. Test at 1% level of significance whether the average weekly food expenditure of the two populations of shoppers are equal.arrow_forwardWith d-statistics 0.354 and du 1.715, What can you conclude about the Durbin Watson Test?arrow_forward
- Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word: 5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9 Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).arrow_forwardIn sample 400 parts manufactured by a factory, the number of defective parts was found to be 30.

- In studying his campaign plans, Mr. Singleton wishes to estimate the difference between men's and women's views regarding his appeal as a candidate. He asks his campaign manager to take two random independent samples and find the 80%80% confidence interval for the difference. A random sample of 508508 male voters and 605605 female voters was taken. 108108 men and 193193 women favored Mr. Singleton as a candidate. Find this confidence interval.
