Get started for freePressing pills A drug manufacturer forms tablets by compressing a granular material that contains the active ingredient and various fillers. The hardness of a sample from each batch of tablets produced is measured to control the compression process. The target value for the hardness is The hardness data for a random sample of 20 tablets from one large batch are
Is there convincing evidence at the level that the mean hardness of the tablets in this batch differs from the target value?
Attitudes The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a
psychological test with scores that range from to. The mean score for U.S. college students is. A teacher suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school. She gives the SSHA to an SRS of students from the more than students at her college who are at least years of age. The teacher wants to perform a test at the significance level of
where the mean SSHA score in the population of students at her college who are at least years old. Check if the conditions for performing the test are met.
Making conclusions A student performs a test of versus at significance level and gets a -value of
The student writes: “Because the P-value is large, we accept . The data provide convincing evidence that null hypothesis is true". Explain what is wrong with this conclusion.

No homework Refer to Exercises 1 and 9. What conclusion would you make at thelevel?
Which of the following is not a condition for performing a significance test about an unknown population proportion p?
(a) The data should come from a random sample or randomized experiment.
(b) Individual measurements should be independent of one another.
(c) The population distribution should be approximately Normal, unless the sample size is large.
(d) Both np and n(1 - p) should be at least 10.
(e) If you are sampling without replacement from a finite population, then you should sample no more than 10% of the population.
