According to ABCD in 3121, the average American spent $16,803 on housing. A suburban community wants to know if their residents spent less than this national average. In a survey of 30 residents, they found that they spent an annual average of $15,800 with a standard deviation of $2,600. ( alpha=0.005 ) The hypothesis for this [ Select ] two-tailed right-tailed left-tailed test would be: 𝐻 0 : µ =16803 𝐻 𝑎 : [ Select ] µ>15800 µ=16803 µ<16803 µ≠15800 The possible decision rules for this test can be made using P-values or critical values. Using Critical Values, the [ Select ] null hypothesis alternative hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic is [ Select ] greater less than [ Select ] -1.645 -1.96 2.33 -2.756 . Using P-values, the [ Select ] alternative hypthesis null hypothesis is rejected if the P-value is [ Select ] less greater than [ Select ] 0.05 0.10 0.01 0.005 . Using the t.test function in R, we find that the point estimate of the mean amount a suburban community spend on housing is [ Select ] $2,600 $16,803 30 $15,800 , the test statistic is [ Select ] -2.11 $2,600 .0217 $15,800 0.005 , and the P-value is [ Select ] -2.11 3121 0.02166 0.005 . Based on this analysis, we will decide to [ Select ] reject fail to reject the [ Select ] alternative null hypothesis.  We [ Select ] have do not have evidence to suggest their residents spent less than this national average. c08.p080.q009   Multiple dropdown selections

Historically, the mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) has been a rather high value for adults in the population. We are interested in whether a recent health campaign on diet and exercise has potentially lowered the mean. Which are the correct hypotheses?

Here are some statements relating to a P-Value When the P-Value is large (greater than 0.1) we can state the null hypothesis is true A P-Value is the probability the null hypothesis is true A P-Value is the probability of observing the test statistic, or something more extreme, if the null hypothesis is true If the P-Value is 0.06 we can reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis at a 10% level of significance If the P-Value is 0.04, we can reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis at a 1% level of significance

Sydney water claim the level of calcium carbonate in drinking water is 57mg/L, which classifies the water as soft. However, a local council are receiving an increasing number of complaints relating to excessive limescale damage of appliances and suspect their local level may be higher than that. They plan their own collection of water samples to see if the calcium carbonate levels are significantly higher than the claimed figure of 57mg/L. Let 𝜇 represent the true mean level of calcium carbonate. Here are the hypotheses the council will use: Null Hypothesis: 𝜇 = 57 Alternative Hypothesis: 𝜇 > 57 Which type of Error has been committed in the following situation? The council concludes the area's calcium carbonate level is significantly higher than 57mg/L when it is higher than the Sydney Water level of 57mg/L.  

Kettle Chips suspects that a machine which fills packets of 175g Sea Salt Chips may be wrongly calibrated and over-filling. A quality control manager takes a random sample of 100 packets and calculates the mean content to be 176g with a standard deviation of 5g. You want to find whether there is evidence that the machine is overfilling packets. What are your hypotheses?
