sample of n = 17 produces a sample variance of 101.

At the 10% level, can you conclude population variance = 97?

	1.	Yes
	2.	No

Expert Solution

Here we have to test that

n = 17, ,

Test statistic:

(Round to 2 decimal)

Test statistic = 16.66

Level of significance = alpha = 10% = 0.1

Test is two tailed test.

Critical value for alpha/2 = 0.1/2 = 0.05 and degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 17 - 1 = 16 is

Critical value = 26.30 (From table of chi square values)

Here Test statistic = 16.66 < critical value = 26.30

So we do not reject H0.

Conclusion: At 10% level we can conclude that Population variance is 97

A random sample n=30 is obtained from a population with unknown variance. The sample variance s2 = 100 and the sample mean is computed to be 75. Test the hypothesis at α = 0.05 that the population mean equals 80 against the alternative that it is less than 80. The null hypothesis Ho: µ = 80 versus the alternative H1: Ho: µ < 80. Calculate the test statistic from your sample mean. Then calculate the p-value for this test using...

Assume a sample size of n = 17. Draw a picture of the distribution of the t statistic under the null hypothesis. Use Table Dand your picture to illustrate the values of the test statistic that would lead to rejection of the null hypothesis at the 5% level for a two-sided alternative. (a) What is/are the value(s) of the critical t in this case? (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list using three decimal places.)

Among the N=17 board members A=10 of them are also shareholders and the other N - A = 7 are non-shareholders. A committee of n=6 board members is going to be selected at random for a specific task. Use X to denote the number of board members who are also shareholders in the committee. Keep at least 4 decimal digits if the result has more decimal digits. 1. The probability that exactly 4 committee members are also shareholders is closest...
