If the p-value is less than in a two-tail test
|
the null hypothesis should be rejected.
|
|
If an economist wishes to determine whether there is evidence that mean family income in a community exceeds $50,000
|
a one-tail test should be utilized.

If an economist wishes to determine whether there is evidence that mean family income in a community equals $50,000
|
a two-tail test should be utilized.

A ________ is a numerical quantity computed from the data of a sample and is used in reaching a decision on whether or not to reject the null hypothesis
|
test statistic

The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club. She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is greater than 30. If so, she plans to alter the entertainment to appeal to an older crowd. If not, no entertainment changes will be made. The appropriate hypotheses to test are:
|
H0: u<= 30 versus H1: u > 30.

The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club. She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is greater than 30. If so, she plans to alter the entertainment to appeal to an older crowd. If not, no entertainment changes will be made. If she wants to have a level of significance at 0.01, what rejection region should she use?
|
Reject H0 if t > 2.3263.

The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club. She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is greater than 30. If so, she plans to alter the entertainment to appeal to an older crowd. If not, no entertainment changes will be made. Suppose she found that the sample mean was 30.45 years and the sample standard deviation was 5 years. If she wants to have a level of significance at 0.01, what decision should she make?
|
Do not reject H0.

The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club. She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is greater than 30. If so, she plans to alter the entertainment to appeal to an older crowd. If not, no entertainment changes will be made. Suppose she found that the sample mean was 30.45 years and the sample standard deviation was 5 years. If she wants to have a level of significance at 0.01 what conclusion can she make?
|
There is not sufficient evidence that the mean age of her customers is greater than 30.

The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 250 customers of the club. She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is greater than 30. If so, she plans to alter the entertainment to appeal to an older crowd. If not, no entertainment changes will be made. Suppose she found that the sample mean was 30.45 years and the sample standard deviation was 5 years. What is the p-value associated with the test statistic?
|
0.0780
|
|
Suppose, in testing a hypothesis about a mean, the p-value is computed to be 0.043. The null hypothesis should be rejected if the chosen level of significance is 0.05.
|
True
|
|
Suppose, in testing a hypothesis about a mean, the p-value is computed to be 0.034. The null hypothesis should be rejected if the chosen level of significance is 0.01.
|
False
|
|
In a hypothesis test, it is irrelevant whether the test is a one-tail or two-tail test.
|
False
|
|
The statement of the null hypothesis always contains an equality.
|
True
|
|
The larger the p-value, the more likely you are to reject the null hypothesis.
|
False
|
|
The smaller the p-value, the stronger is the evidence against the null hypothesis.
|
True
