A manager at a local discount gym believes that less than 20% of gym members use the gym, at least 5 days a week. She randomly selects 100 gym members and tracks (using the electronic login system at the door) how many days they used the gym over the 2-week period. The following are the results:

2 3 10 4 2 3 8 4 8 10
5 0 6 3 9 13 6 3 12 5
3 3 5 1 5 9 8 5 8 2
6 4 4 2 12 1 3 3 2 12
7 3 14 2 8 5 2 6 1 5
6 9 6 8 10 1 11 3 2 1
5 4 1 2 3 13 7 4 8 3
7 4 3 2 10 3 1 7 11 8
4 7 6 7 8 11 7 6 3 2
5 0 4 6 5 12 2 10 1 2

Test the manager's claim at the 10% level of significance.

Standard Normal Distribution Table

a. Calculate the test statistic.

z=z=

Round to two decimal places if necessary

Enter 0 if normal approximation to the binomial cannot be used

b. Determine the critical value(s) for the hypothesis test.

  • +

Round to two decimal places if necessary

Enter 0 if normal approximation to the binomial cannot be used

c. Conclude whether to reject the null hypothesis or not based on the test statistic.

Reject

Fail to Reject

Cannot Use Normal Approximation to Binomial

Expert Solution

Solution:-

Given that

A manager at a local discount gym believes that less than 20% of gym members use the gym, at least 5 days a week. She randomly selects 100 gym members and tracks (using the electronic login system at the door) how many days they used the gym over the 2-week period.

Using gym for at least 5 days or week

means using gym over the 2 week period for atleast 10 days.

i.e., = sample proportion

Also test

vs

p : as proportion of gym members who use gym for atleast 5 days a week rather for atleast 10 days in 2 week period

a) Calculate the test statistic.

n = sample size

= -1.25

Z = -1.25

Reject if

i.e.,

b)  Determine the critical value(s) for the hypothesis test.

critical value : = -1.28

c)  Conclude whether to reject the null hypothesis or not based on the test statistic.

Decision :-

Since

we fail to reject

Fail to reject

A store manager believes items with discounts (10% off, 20% off, etc.) sell better than items offered at full price. She also believes items with well-known brand names sell better than items not associated with a well-known brand. Furthermore, she believes that when the prices of brand-name items are discounted sales are much higher than normal. You think this sounds like she is describing an interaction between brand-named and discounts and you want to use regression to test the effects...

The chairman of the local Democratic Party believes that more than 75% of the freshmen who have just arrived on campus have registered to vote in the upcoming election. Since it would be difficult to question all of the freshmen to determine the actual percentage, a random sample of 64 students was interviewed. Of these, 43 indicated that they are registered to vote. At the .05 level of significance, is the assumption that more than 75% are registered still valid?...

A researcher believes that women today weigh less than in previous years. To investigate this belief, she randomly samples 15 adult women and records their weights. The scores have a mean of 111 lbs. and a standard deviation of 13.4. A local census taken several years ago shows the mean weight of adult women was 120 lbs. What would you conclude using α =0.011tail? Make sure to indicate your hypotheses, your critical value, your decision, and your conclusion. 1. What...
