Question

Please answer all 5 questions, as I have a learning disability and is hard for me to do it. Thank you!

A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate this year's mean hourly wage. of foodservice workers in the U.S. Last year's mean hourly wage was $8.08, and there is reason to believe that this year's value is greater than last year's The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed increased. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $8.35, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.10 Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H)and the alternative hypothesis (H) that should be used for the test? Ho: is H1 : is? 0t In the context of this test, what is a Type ll error? A Type Il error is? the hypothesis that is ? when, in fact, Suppose hat the union decides nat to ret he nul ypothesis wnat Suppose that the union decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be making? ? Clear Undo Help

Explanation / Answer

(1)

Null Hypothesis                     Ho: µ >= 8.08
Alternative Hypothesis         H1:
µ < 8.08

Type II error is failing to reject the hypothesis that µ is less than $8.08 when, in fact, µ is greater than or equal to $8.08.

Suppose that the union decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be making Type I.

(2)

We know that, mean µ = np

and S.D. = (npq)

Here, p = 80% = 0.8

then    µ = 230*0.8 = 184


Null Hypothesis                     Ho: p = 0.8       i.e.,       Ho: µ = 184
Alternative Hypothesis          H1: p 0. 8       i.e.,     H1:
µ 184

Type of test statistic = Z

Where,     Z = (np1 – np)/(np1 q1)

Here, p = 80% = 0.8

         p1 = 200/230 = 0.87

        n = 230

        q1 = 1- p1

Value of test statistic = 3.157

Two critical values = -1.645 and 1.645

No, we cannot conclude that the proportion of high school seniors who believe that getting rich is an important goal has changed.

(3)

The null hypothesis is: H0: µ >= 505

The alternative hypothesis is: H1: µ < 505

Type of test statistic = Z

Where,     Z = (X’ - µ)/(/n)

Here, X’ = 518,   µ=505,   = 47 and n = 100

Value of test statistic = 2.766

The p-value = 0.0028
Critical value = -2.3263

Yes, we can support the preparation course’s claim that its graduates score higher in SAT.

(4)

The null hypothesis is: H0: = 0.45

The alternative hypothesis is: H1: 0.45

Type of test statistic = t

Where,     t = (X - µ)/(/n)

Here, X = 2,   µ=2.2,   = 0.75 and n = 10

Degree of freedom= n-1 = 9


Value of test statistic = -0.8433

Two critical values = -3.2498 and 3.2498

Yes, we can support the claim that the standard deviation of combined total of auto accidents per day differs from 0.45.

(5)

The null hypothesis is: H0: µ = 138

The alternative hypothesis is: H1: µ 138

Type of test statistic = t

Where,     t = (X’ - µ)/(/n)

Here, X’ = 131,   µ=138,   = 15 and n = 18

Degree of freedom = n – 1 = 18-1 = 17

Value of test statistic = -1.9799

Two critical values = -1.7396 and 1.7396

No, we cannot conclude that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that claimed by the laboratory.
