P-Values. In Exercises 17鈥20, do the following:

a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed.

b. Find the P-value. (See Figure 8-3 on page 364.)

c. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject or should we fail to reject ?

The test statistic of z = 1.00 is obtained when testing the claim that p>0.3.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The test is right-tailed.

b. The p-value is equal to 0.1587.

c. The decision of the statistical test is to fail to rejectH0

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

A test statistic value of z=1.00 is obtained, and the claim to be tested is p>0.3.

02

Identify the hypotheses and tail of the test

a.

In correspondence with the given claim, the following hypotheses are set up:

Null Hypothesis: p=0.3

Alternative Hypothesis: p>0.3

Where p is the population proportion.

Since there is greater than sign in the alternative hypothesis, the test is right-tailed.

03

P-value

b.

The test statistic to test the given claim is the z-value.

The z-value is equal to 1.00.

Using the standard normal table, the corresponding right-tailed p-value for z-score equal to 1.00 is equal to:

Pz>1.00=1-Pz<1.00=1-0.8413=0.1587

Thus, the p-value is equal to 0.1587.

To depict the p-value on the normal probability graph, follow the given steps:

  • Plot a horizontal axis representing the z-score. Also label it as 鈥渮-score鈥.
  • Sketch a bell-shaped curve and draw a vertical dotted line corresponding to the value 鈥0鈥 on the horizontal axis
  • Mark the point 鈥1鈥 on the horizontal axis and then shade the area to the right of the value 鈥1鈥 with blue as shown in the figure.
  • Label the shaded region as 鈥減-value = 0.1587鈥.

The following plot shows the probability value (p-value) as the shaded area under the normal probability graph:

04

Decision about the test

c.

If the p-value is less than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected; otherwise, not.

Here, the level of significance is equal to 0.05, and the p-value is equal to 0.1587.

Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, so the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Using Technology. In Exercises 5鈥8, identify the indicated values or interpret the given display. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section. Use = 0.05 significance level and answer the following:

a. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed?

b. What is the test statistic?

c. What is the P-value?

d. What is the null hypothesis, and what do you conclude about it?

e. What is the final conclusion?

Self-Driving Vehicles In a TE Connectivity survey of 1000 adults, 29% said that they would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle. The accompanying StatCrunch display results from testing the claim that more than 1/4 of adults feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

Teacher Salaries. Refer to Exercise 9.22. Explain what each of the following would mean.

a. Type I error

b. Type II error

c. Correct decision

Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to nonrejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fast the mean salary of classroom teachers in Ohio

d. equals the national mean of \(55.4 thousand.

e. exceeds the national mean of \)55.4 thousand.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9鈥32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Smoking Stopped In a program designed to help patients stop smoking, 198 patients were given sustained care, and 82.8% of them were no longer smoking after one month (based on data from 鈥淪ustained Care Intervention and Post discharge Smoking Cessation Among Hospitalized Adults,鈥 by Rigotti et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 312, No. 7). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that 80% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care. Does sustained care appear to be effective?

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Speed Dating Data Set 18 鈥淪peed Dating鈥 in Appendix B includes 鈥渁ttractive鈥 ratings of male dates made by the female dates. The summary statistics are n = 199, x = 6.19, s = 1.99. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the population mean of such ratings is less than 7.00.

Death Rolls. Alligators perform a spinning maneuver, referred to as a "death roll," to subdue their prey, Videos were taken of juvenile alligators performing this maneuver in a study for the article "Death Roll of the Alligator, Mechanics of Twist and Feeding in Water" (Journal of Experimental Biology, Vol. 210,pp.2811-2818)by F. Fish et al. One of the variables measured was the degree of the angle between the body and head of the alligator while performing the roll. A sample of 20rolls yielded the following data, in degrees.

58.658.757.354.552.9
59.529.443.431.852.3
42.734.839.261.360.4
51.542.857.543.647.6

At the 5%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, the angle between the body and head of an alligator during a death roll is greater than 45?

(Note: x=49.0and s=10.0)
