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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The test is right-tailed.

b. The value of the test statistic (z-score) is equal to 2.9212.

c. The p-value is equal to 0.0017.

d. The null hypothesis is that the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is equal to 25% or 0.25.The null hypothesis is rejected.

e. There is enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is greater than 0.25.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that out of 1000 adults, 29% of them would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

02

Tail of the test

a.

According to the given claim, the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is more than 14 or 0.25.

The null hypothesis is represented as follows:

H0:p=0.25

The alternative hypothesis is represented as follows:

H1:p>0.25

Since there is a greater than sign in the given claim, the test is right-tailed

03

Test statistic

b.

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

Here, the value of the test statistic (z-score) is equal to 2.9212.

04

P-Value

c.

The p-value corresponding to the z-score of 2.9212 is given to be equal to 0.0017.

05

Null hypothesis and its conclusion

d.

The null hypothesis for this test is as follows:

Null hypothesis: The proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is equal to 25%.

Symbolically, H0:p=0.25where

p is the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

Here, the p-value equal to 0.0017 is less than the significance level of 0.05. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected.

06

Conclusion of the test

e.

There is enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of adults who would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle is more than 25%.

Iron Deficiency? Iron is essential to most life forms and to normal human physiology. It is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. Recommendations for iron are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for adult females under the age of 51 is 18 milligrams (mg) per day. The following iron intakes, in milligrams, were obtained during a 24 -hour period for 45 randomly selected adult females under the age of 51.

At the significance level, do the data suggest that adult females der the age of 51 are, on average, getting less than the RDA of iron? Assume that the population standard deviation is 4 . (Note: x =14.68mg.)

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.

Cans of Coke Data Set 26 鈥淐ola Weights and Volumes鈥 in Appendix B includes volumes (ounces) of a sample of cans of regular Coke. The summary statistics are n = 36, x = 12.19 oz, s = 0.11 oz. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that cans of Coke have a mean volume of 12.00 ounces. Does it appear that consumers are being cheated?

Refer to Exercise 9.20. 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 rejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean post-work heart rate of casting workers

d. equals the normal resting heart rate of 72 bpm.

e. exceeds the normal resting heart rate of 72 bpm.

Distributions Using the methods of this chapter, identify the distribution that should be used for testing a claim about the given population parameter.

a. Mean

b. Proportion

c. Standard deviation

Car Booster Seats The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted crash tests of child booster seats for cars. Listed below are results from those tests, with the measurements given in hic (standard head injury condition units). The safety requirement is that the hic measurement should be less than 1000 hic. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 1000 hic. Do the results suggest that all of the child booster seats meet the specified requirement?
