Week 3 QNT/351 connect assignment

1.    A sample of 35 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 26, and the population standard deviation is 4. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level.

H1 : μ > 25
 
a.    Is this a one- or two-tailed test?
      
      
"One-tailed"-the alternate hypothesis is greater than direction.
 
"Two-tailed"-the alternate hypothesis is different from direction.

 
b.    What is the decision rule? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
 
    H0, when z >  

 
c.    What is the value of the test statistic? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
 
  Value of the test statistic      

 
d.    What is your decision regarding H0?
      
      
Reject
 
Do not reject

 
There is   evidence to conclude that the population mean is greater than 25.

 
e.    What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
 
  p-value        

2. At the time she was hired as a server at the Grumney Family Restaurant, Beth Brigden was told, “You can average $88 a day in tips.” Assume the population of daily tips is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $2.50. Over the first 50 days she was employed at the restaurant, the mean daily amount of her tips was $89.93. At the 0.10 significance level, can Ms. Brigden conclude that her daily tips average more than $88?
  
a.    State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis.
      
      
H0: μ = 88 ; H1: μ ≠ 88
 
H0: μ ≤ 88 ; H1: μ > 88
 
H0: μ >88 ; H1: μ = 88
 
H0: μ ≥ 88 ; H1: μ < 88

  
b.    State the decision rule.
      
      
Reject H1 if z > 1.28
 
Reject H1 if z < 1.28
 
Reject H0 if z < 1.28
 
Reject H0 if z > 1.28

  
c.    Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
  
  Value of the test statistic      

  
d.    What is your decision regarding H0?
      
      
Reject H0
 
Do not reject H0

   
e.    What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  
  p-value      

3. The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 43 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 29 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 44. The standard deviation of the sample is 4.1 calls. Using the 0.050 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 43?
     
H0 : μ ≤ 43
H1 : μ > 43
  
1.    Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  
  Value of the test statistic      

  
2.    What is your decision regarding H0?
  
    H0. The mean number of calls is  than 43 per week.

4. A United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $26,450 per year. A FLOC (Farm Labor Organizing Committee) evaluation of 23 Mexican family units reveals a mean to be $37,190 with a sample standard deviation of $10,700. Does this information disagree with the United Nations report? Apply the 0.01 significance level.

a.    State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis.

      
  H0: μ =      

  H1: μ ≠      

________________________________________

b.    State the decision rule for .01 significance level. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

  Reject H0 if t is not between   and  

c.    Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

  Value of the test statistic      

d.    Does this information disagree with the United Nations report? Apply the 0.01 significance level.

   . This data  the report.

5.   The following information is available.
 
H0 : μ ≥ 220
 
H1 : μ < 220
 
A sample of 64 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 215, and the population standard deviation is 15. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the .025 significance level.

Two-tailed test
 
One-tailed test

 
b.    What is the decision rule? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
 
    H0 when z <     

 
c.    What is the value of the test statistic? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
 
  Value of the test statistic      

 
d.    What is your decision regarding H0?
      
      
Do not reject
 
Reject

 
e.    What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
 
  p-value      

 
6. Given the following hypotheses:
 
H0 : μ ≤ 10
