You take your family on a wonderful, relaxing vacation to the beach. About 15 minutes after you’ve settled into the perfect spot in the sand, your oldest child tells you he’s bored. To keep him busy you tell him to collect some shells, because you read online that the beach where you’re staying is known for having lots of different colors of shells wash up on the beach. A few days later he’s collected over 500 shells, and he tallies up how many of each color he has in the table below. You’re curious if his collection of shells has the same distribution of colors as the overall beach has, so you go online and find the distribution of shell color percentages you should expect to find at that particular beach, and add those to your data table. Perform a hypothesis test to determine if the color distribution of your son’s seashell collection is what you’d expect at that beach. Use α = 0.10.

Step 1) What type of hypothesis test is required here?

Step 2) Verify all assumptions required for this test.

A cell phone manufacturer claims that the batteries in its latest model provide 20 hours of continuous use. In order to verify this claim, and independent testing firm checks the battery life of 100 phones. They find that the batteries in these 100 phones last an average of 19 hours with a standard deviation of 5 hours. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test to check whether the results from this sample provide sufficient evidence that the true mean battery life is significantly less than 20 hours.

1. Is this a question about the sample mean or the sample proportion? Explain how you know.

2. What is the most appropriate test, a two-tailed test, a right-tailed test, or a left-tailed test? Explain how you know.

3. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Make sure to use proper notation.

4. Calculate the test statistic. Make sure to show all your computations.

5. Determine the P-value. Make sure to explain how you obtained the value.

f. State the decision about the null hypothesis as well as the conclusion from your hypothesis test in the context of the problem.

Hypothesis test for M&Ms:

This section will work through constructing and interpreting a hypothesis test for

proportions. You can find the information for constructing a hypothesis test in

section 10.2. We will be using the p-value approach with a 5% significance level.

1. Treat your bag of M&M’s as a simple random sample. Choose your favorite

color of M&M’s you will be working with for this project. State the color

and give the counts below.

Color of choice: Green

The proportion of M&M's in your color: I had 12 green M&Ms in bag and total of M&Ms = 100... so 12/100?

The hypothesized proportion of M&M’s in your color:?

2. State the null and alternate hypothesis in both symbolic and sentence

form.

3. Use technology to find and state the p-value.

4. Based on your p-value and the significance given above, give the

conclusion of your hypothesis test.

Discuss the meaning of “red flags” of fraud. Include at least 5 “red flags” and explain what each indicates and what actions should be taken by the organization. Include a biblical application to support your recommendation(s).

The supplementary document/resource titled “SOX Act 101-Key Components”, references eight key implementation components of the SOX Act. Given what you know about why the Act was established in 2002, explain which of those eight sections you feel was most necessary in the effort to discourage fraudulent activities by organizations. Additionally, explain which is your favorite section.

Testing a claim about a proportion: In a sample random poll of 514 human resource professionals, 236 said that body piercings and tattoos were big grooming red flags. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that less than 50 % of all human resource professionals say that piercings are big grooming red flags.
