1.) A researcher claims that Americans use more consonants in their language than the vowels. To test this claim, researcher randomly selects 26 English words (please randomly generate these English words by yourself and explicitly state them in your homework as your sample). Based on this sample; a) State your hypothesis H0 and H1 claiming that Americans use more consonants in their language. b) State the decision rule, sample statistics, table value and test statistic in the same order as...

A business students claims that on average an MBA students is required to prepare more than five cases per week. To examine the claim, a statistics professor ask a random sample of ten MBA students to report the number of cases they prepare weekly. The results are given below. Can the professor conclude that the claim is true, at the .05 level of significance, assuming the number of cases is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.5? 2 7...

A researcher claims that New Zealanders spend more time exercising than Australians. The researcher takes a random sample of 41 New Zealanders and finds that they spend an average of 130 minutes per day exercising, with a standard deviation of 24. A sample of 61 Australians averaged 110 minutes a day of exercise, with a standard deviation of 16. Assuming equal variances, test the claim that New Zealanders exercise more than Australians at the 0.05 significance level. Assuming unequal variances,...

(a) A researcher wishes to prove that more than 75% of undergraduate students at the Mcgill University read McGill's student newspaper regularly. If 80% of all McGill students read the newspaper regularly, what is the probability that with a random sample of 227 students, the researcher ends up with insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the 1% significance level? In other words, what is the probability that the researcher makes a Type II error? Answer with hypotheses in...

A researcher hypothesizes college students will be more extroverted than the population mean for extroversion and collects n = 177 students. The researcher performs a one-tail z test with alpha set to 0.05 and finds a sample z score is 2.44, showing evidence for the researcher's predictions. What is the probability (as % or proportion) the researcher made a type 1 error? b. A researcher hypothesizes that coffee drinkers and non coffee drinkers will have different incidences of clinical anxiety....
