Chapter 9: Q. 9.45 (page 364)

In each of Exercises 9.41-9.46 ,determine the critical values for a one-mean z-test. For each exercise, draw a graph that illustrates your answer

A right- tailed test withα=0.01

Short Answer

Expert verified

A Right -tailed test withα=0.01

In the right tail test that α=0.01, from normal local tables values are significant z0=2.33.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) compiles information on robbery and property crimes by type and selected characteristic and publishes its finding in Uniform Crime Reports. According to that document, the mean value lost to purse snatching was \(468 in 2012.For last year, 12 randomly selected purse-snatching offenses yielded the following values lost, to the nearest dollar.

Use a t-test tp decide, at the 5%significance level, whether last year's mean value lost to purse snatching has decreased from 2012 mean. The mean and standard deviation of the data are \)455 and $86.80 respectively.

Dementia is the loss of the in actual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judging behavior and daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. In the article "Living with Early Onsite dementia: Exploring the Experience and Developing Evidence Guidelines for Practice", P Harris and J Keady explored the experiment struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their familiar simple random sample \(21\) people with early-onset dementia the following data on age at diagnosis in years.

At the \(1%\) significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early onset dementia is less than \(55\) years old? Assume that the population is standard deviation is \(6.8\) years.

9.96 Left-Tailed Hypothesis Tests and Cls. In Exercise 8.105 on page 335, we introduced one-sided one-mean z-intervals. The following relationship holds between hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for one-mean z-procedures: For a left-tailed hypothesis test at the significance level α, the null hypothesis H0:μ=μ0will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis Ha:μ<μ0if and only if μ0is greater than or equal to the (1-α)-level upper confidence bound for μ. In each case, illustrate the preceding relationship by obtaining the appropriate upper confidence bound and comparing the result to the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the specified exercise.

Dirt Bikes. Dirt bikes are simpler and lighter motorcysles that are designed for off-road events. Specifications for dirt bikes can be found through Motorcycle USA on their website www.motorcycle-usa.com. A random sample of 30 dirt bikes have a mean fuel capacity of 1.91gallons with a standard deviation of 0.74 gallons. At the 10%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean fuel tank capacity of all dirt bikes is less than 2 gallons?
