Hypothesis Testing - Expressions in Context

Expressing ourselves in the context of the problem can be challenging. Especially since there isn't ONE exact way to write our sentences. There is a structure or format to it, but each individual will make that expression in their own words. Let's practice together with the following problem. After you post, review your peers' expressions to see the variety that is possible. Look for the key features but appreciate the diversity of expression.

Our Problem:

A seatbelt has been tested and found to protect 80% of passenger dummies from severe injury in a large crash testing study. Now researchers want to see if a seat belt constructed from new material will work even better.

1) What would be the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? Express them both in symbols and in words in the context of this problem.

2) The new seat belt is tested and the P-value is found to be 0.367 with a significance level of 5% (or 0.05). What would you conclude about the new seat belt? Be sure to (1) state your decision regarding the null hypothesis and (2) what this means in the context of the problem.

Expert Solution

here claim is seat belt constructed from new material will work even better

let us consider p is population proportion of passenger protect dummies from severe injury in a large crash testing study.

A seatbelt has been tested and found to protect 80% of passenger dummies from severe injury in a large crash testing study. Now researchers want to see if a seat belt constructed from new material will work even better.

1) the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test in words is

Ho:population proportion of passenger protect dummies from severe injury in a large crash testing study is 80%

Ho:population proportion of passenger protect dummies from severe injury in a large crash testing study is more than 80%

In symbols

Ho : p= 0.80

Ha: p >0.80

2) the P-value = 0.367 , since p value is greater rhan 0.05 so we dont reject Ho and conclude that population proportion of passenger protect dummies from severe injury in a large crash testing study is 80% which means that seat belt constructed from new material will not work better.

Students will follow the hypothesis testing steps for each problem. They will compute the problem using the SPSS program. They will write the results in appropriate APA format and interpret the results. Steps of hypothesis testing will be typed out in a word document, as well as a copy and paste of the SPSS output. For the following problems, you will: Do all steps of hypothesis testing Populations and hypotheses Write out the steps you would do to calculate t...

What are the steps in hypothesis testing? What is the goal of hypothesis testing? What are null and alternative hypotheses? In §9.2 the concepts of Type I and Type II errors are introduced.Consider the situation where a husband and wife go to the doctor’s office to each get some tests run and the doctor accidentally mixes up their charts. The doctor comes into the exam room with the results of the tests and declares that the wife is NOT pregnant but...

Introduction to Hypothesis Testing

A business student claims that, on average, an MBA student is required to prepare more than five cases per week. To examine the claim, a statistics professor asks a random sample of 10 MBA students to report the number of cases they prepare weekly. The results are exhibited here. Can the professor conclude at the 5% significance level that the claim is true, assuming that the number of cases is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.5? {2, 7,...

"Hypothesis Testing" Please respond to the following: Identify a problem in healthcare that could be illuminated by research. Develop a research question and describe a research design to address it. Be sure to identify your dependent and independent variables, sampling strategy, and statistical tests. Write a null and alternative hypothesis for your research study. Assume you rejected a null hypothesis at five percent (5%) level of significance. Give your opinion as to whether you would get the same level of...

Hypothesis Testing. Follow the description of the assignment below. Think of a problem of your interest, set up H0 and Ha and conduct the hypothesis test. Describe the research problem. Determine the level of significance – use the levels: α=0.1 ,α=0.05 or α=0.01. Identify the target population and the population parameter of interest (μ or p; μ_1- μ_2 or p_1-p_2). Set up H0 and Ha.
