1. Assume that you plan to use a significance level of ? = .05 to test the claim that p1 =p2. Use the given sample sizes and numbers of successes to find the pooled estimate p. Round to the nearest thousandth

n1 = 34 n2 = 414
x1 = 15 x2 =105

2. Assume that you plan to use a significance level of ? = .05 to test the claim that p1 =p2. Use the given sample sizes and numbers of successes to find the z test statistic for the hypothesis test.

3. In a vote on the Clean Water bill, 44% of the 205 Democrats voted for the bill while 46% of the 230 Republicans voted for it. Use the traditional method to test the given hypothesis. Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected

4. In a random sample of 500 people aged 20-24 22% were smokers. In a random sample of 450 people aged 25-29, 14% were smokers. Test the claim that the proportion of smokers in the two age group is the same. Use a significance level of .01

5. Test the indicated claim about the means of two populations. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Use the traditional method or P â?"value method as indicated.
A researcher was interested in comparing the response times of two different cab companies. Companies A and B were each called 50 randomly selected times. The calls to company A were made independently of the calls to company B. The response time for each call was recorded. The summary statistics were as follows:

Company A Company B
Mean response time
7.6 6.9
Standard deviation
1.4 1.7

Use a .02 significance level to test the claim that the mean response time for the company A is the same as the mean response time for company B. Use the P-value method of hypothesis testing

  • Hypothesis test: sample of 100

    Z Test of Hypothesis for the Mean Data Null Hypothesis m= 80 Level of Significance 0.01 Population Standard Deviation 12 Sample Size 100 Sample Mean 77 Intermediate Calculations Standard Error of the Mean 1.2000

  • Hypothesis Testing of Mean: P-value Method

    P-value = P (Z > 2) = 0.022750132 Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level 0.05. The sample provides enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is greater than 1.

  • P-value for the hypothesis test

    232118 P-value for the hypothesis test For a sample of 12 items from a normally distributed population for which the standard deviation is s=17.0, the sample mean is 230.8. At the 0.05 level of significance, test Ho:µ<= 220 versus H1:µ>220.

  • Test of hypothesis

    the significance level of 5% Reject Null Hypothesis since probability value is less than the level of significance :( Mean is not equal to 150) This solution tests the hypothesis that a population mean is not 150.
