Part a) When performing a hypothesis test, what effect does
increasing the sample size have on the probability of type 1 error?
Why?
Part b) when performing a hypothesis test, what effect does
increasing the sample size have on the power? Why?
Conduct a hypothesis test. Perform each of the following
steps:
a) state the hypothesis and identify the claim
b) Find the critical value(s)
c) Compute the test value
d) make the decision
e) Summarize the results
It has been found that the average time users spend online per
week is 18.3 hours. A random sample of 48 teenagers indicated that
their mean amount of Internet time per week was 19.5 hours with a
population standard deviation of 5.7. At the...
1. What are the steps to creating a hypothesis test?
2. How do you know if the alternative hypothesis is one-tailed
or two-tailed?
3. What is a p-value, and where do you find it?
4. Describe statistical significance.
5. What is a Type I error? Type II error?
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...
For each of the following write a hypothesis test by following
the handout The Steps in Hypothesis Testing. This will be graded
for participation only. Once you submit your work, you will be able
to view the Feedback Key for this activity. You will have two
similar problems to do next week be graded for accuracy. Ski
Patrol: Avalanches: Snow avalanches can be real problems for
travelers in the western United States and Canada. A very common
type of avalanche...
In each problem show all steps of the hypothesis test. If some
of the assumptions are not met, note that the results of the test
may not be correct and then continue the process of the hypothesis
test.
1. The Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997, and required countries
to start reducing their carbon emissions. The protocol became
enforceable in February 2005. In 2004, the mean CO2 emission was
4.87 metric tons per capita. Table 7.3.3 contains a random sample...

test.
1.Eyeglassomatic manufactures eyeglasses for different
retailers. They test to see how many defective lenses they made in
a given time period and found that 11% of all lenses had defects of
some type. Looking at the type of defects, they found in...
1) What is a hypothesis, a hypothesis test, a null hypothesis
and an alternative hypothesis?
2) What is a P-value, critical value and a test statistic?
Provide an example of each and describe how they are used to test
claims.
3) When conducting a hypothesis test, what is the difference
between the P-value method and the critical-value method?
4) List and explain all the steps for performing a hypothesis
test.
Directions: write the finding of these
questions in a short...
