Question

Sleep experts believe that sleep apnea is more likely to occur in men than in the general population, that is the percentage of men who suffer from sleep apnea is greater than 8%. To test this claim, one expert examined 75 men and found that 10 of these men suffer from sleep apnea. What are the Null and Alternative Hypotheses?

To test this claim, one expert examined 75 men and found that 10 of these men suffer from sleep apnea. Set up the appropriate hypothesis test and find the critical value(s) at the 0.05 Level of significance.

There is not enough evidence to reject the expert's claim that the percentage of men with sleep apnea is greater than 8%.

There is enough evidence to reject the expert's claim that the percentage of men with sleep apnea is greater than 8%.

The evidence does not support the expert's claim that the percentage of men with sleep apnea is greater than 8%.

A farmer decides to try out a new fertilizer on a test plot containing 10 stalks of corn. Before applying the fertilizer, he measures the height of each stalk. Two weeks later, after applying the fertilizer, he measures the stalks again. He compares the heights of these stalks to 10 stalks that did not receive fertilizer. Did the fertilizer help? Use a significance level of 0.10 to test whether the height of the stalks increased.

A labor union claims that the mean income of its members is no more than $20,000 per year. The Employers' Association believes that this claim is too low and that the actual mean income is higher. A random sample of 64 union members yields a mean income of $20,278.50 with a standard deviation of $793.81. Calculate the test statistic for the sample mean.
