QUESTION 2
Suppose you are testing the null hypothesis that a population mean is greater than or equal to 60, against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is less than 60.  The sample size is 64 and α = .05.  If the sample mean is 58 and the population standard deviation is 16, the observed z value is _______. (hint: you can use the Excel file for homework problem 9.7)
 
    58

QUESTION 3
A researcher is testing a hypothesis of a single mean. The critical z value for  α= .05 and a two tailed test is +1.96. The observed z value from sample data is  1.85. The decision made by the researcher based on this information is to _____ the null hypothesis. (hint: compare the observed z value to the values of the two tailed test)

 
    change the alternate hypothesis into
 
    fail to reject
 
    reject
 
    redefine
 
    restate the null hypothesis

QUESTION 4
In performing a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that the population mean is 23 against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is not equal to 23, a random sample of 17 items is selected.  The sample mean is 24.6 and the sample standard deviation is 3.3.  It can be assumed that the population is normally distributed.  The degrees of freedom associated with this are _______.

QUESTION 5
 In performing a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that the population mean is 4.8 against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is not equal to 4.8, a random sample of 25 items is selected.  The sample mean is 4.1 and the sample standard deviation is 1.4.  It can be assumed that the population is normally distributed.  The level of significance is selected to be 0.10.  The table "t" value for this problem is _______. (hint: look up answer in table on p799 after calculating degrees of freedom and alpha)
