Also, it is given that the sample mean is 𝑋̅= 49 and the sample size is n =
36 Here,
The population standard deviation is σ = 5
Given level of significance is a α = 0.05
a)
From the alternative hypothesis we can say that the given test is a two-tailed test as it contains
the not-equal symbol.
b)
Since this is a two-tailed test, from the table for the normal distribution, we obtain a critical value
at 0.05 level of significance as 1.96. This can be shown in the graph as follows:
Hence the decision rule rejects 𝐻0 when z does not fall in the region between -1.96 to 1.96.
c)
Here we need to find the test statistics value for the given test.
To test the null hypothesis the test statistics id given by,
Here we use z-test statistics since the population standard deviation is known.
Substitute the values we get the value as
49−50
z= 5√36
= -1.2
d)
Since, the calculated test statistics value -1.2 does not fall in the rejection region. we fail to reject
the null hypothesis at the given level of significance.
e)
Compute the p- value of the test statistics.
Using the table for the normal distribution we find the p-value for z = -1.2
p = P(Z<-1.2) + P(Z>1.2)
= 2(0.5- P(Z<1.2))
= 2(0.5-0.3849)
p = 0.2302
There is a 23.02% chance of finding a z value this large when H, is true
2.
here 𝑋=12 is the sample mean. u =10 is the population mean under the null hy pothesis.
σ = 3 is the population standard deviation, and n= 36 is the sample size.
Determine the critical value.
This test will be one-tailed since the altenate hypothesis is u>10 as opposed to u≠10. Using the
nomal distribution table the critical value of z for α = 0.01 is 2.326. Thus, the critical value is
2.326 since the inequality in the alternate hypothesis points to the right.
Thus, the decision rule is: If z > 2.326, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, do not reject the
null hypothesis.
The computed value of z is.
𝑋−µ
z=
𝜎/√𝑛
12−10
= 3/ √36

Thus, z exceeds the critical value of 2.326 Therefore. there is a sufficient evidence to reject the
null hypothesis.

(a)This is a one-tailed test
(b)Using the table for the normal distribution, we obtain a critical value for the 0.05
level of significance, it is 1.65. Hence. we reject 𝐻0, when z >1.65.
(e)Using the table for the normal distribution, find the p-value for z =-
2.67 p= P(Z<-267)
= 0.5- P (Z< 2.67)

There is a 0.38% chance of finding a z-value this small or smaller when 𝐻0, is true.

(b) Since this is a two-tailed test half of 0.0s, or 0.025, Is placed in each tail Using
the table for the normal distribution, we obtain a critical value for the 0.05 level of
significance, it is 1.96 Hence, we reject 𝐻0. when z does not fall in the region between -1.96

(d) Because -0.69 does not fall in the rejection region, 𝐻0 is not rejected.
(e)Using the table for the normal distribution, find the p-value for z =
-0.69 p = P(Z<-0.69) + P(Z>0.69)
= 2(0.5 - P (Z <0.69)
=2(0.5-0.2549)
p =0.4902
The p-value is large. There is a 49.02% chance of finding a z-value more extreme than this when
𝐻0 𝑖𝑠 true. We conclude that there is no evidence that experience is different from that
claimed by the manufacturer.

e. p = 0 0384, found by (0.5000 -0 4616). We conclude that the mean waiting time is less than

𝐻0: µ ≤ 80, 𝐻1: µ > 80.
(b) This is a one-tailed test. Using the table for the normal distribution we obtain a

(d)Because 8.86 falls in the rejection region, 𝐻0 is rejected.
e) Note that the z-value is rather large. Using the table for the normal distribution we conclude
that p = 0 There is virtually no chance of finding a z-value this large or larger when 𝐻0 is true.
The p-value is small. We conclude that there is evidence that Beth Brigden is earning an average
of more than $80 in tips.

(a)This is a one-tailed test Using the table for the t-distribution, we obtain a critical value for

(a) Since this is a two-tailed test, half of 0.01, or 0.005, is placed in each tail Using the table for
the t-distribution, we obtain a critical value for the 0.01 level of significance and for 12-1=11

(d) Using the table of the t-distribution with 4 degrees of freedom for a one tailed test. We find
that the values of t for probabilities 0.1 and 0.05 are 1.533 and 2.132 respectively Since the
value of the test statistic is between these two values, the P-value is between 0.05 and 0.1. The

(d) Using the table of the t-distribution with 5 degrees of freedom for a two tailed test, we find
that the values of t for probabilities 0.01 and 0.001 are 4.032 and 6.869 respectively. Since the

Thus, the normal distribution can be used as an approximation of the binomial distribution.
Using the table of the normal distribution, we find that the value of z that corresponds to the one-

Here we take a sample of 300 cars travelling southbound on New Jersey Turnpike and observed
170 were driven by men
The National Safety Council reports that 52% of American tumpike drivers are men
That means, we have X =170, n = 300, and 𝜋 = 0.52
According to the problem, we state the null and alternative hypotheses es as follows
𝐻0:𝜋 ≤ 0.52 (There is no evidence to state that a large proportion of men were driving on New
Jersey Tumpike than the national Statistics indicate.)
Versus
𝐻1: 𝜋 > 0.52 (There is an evidence to state that a large proportion of men were driving on New
Jersey Tumpike than the national Statistics indicate)
The test is about the population proportion.
Verify that both n𝜋 and n (1- 𝜋) are at least 5.
n𝜋 = 300 (0.52)

n (1- 𝜋) = 300 (1-0.52)

Thus, the normal distribution can be used as an approximation of the binomial distribution.
Using the table of the normal distribution, we find that the value of z that corresponds to the one-

failures ( 54, found by 60 (0.90)) greater that five.

The p-value is 0.3628 found by 2(0.5000-0.3186). A value this extreme will happen about once
out of three with that failure rate.

We fail to reject the null hypothesis. This data do not show college students are more likely to
skip breakfast.

Reject 𝐻0 if z < -
1.645 z = - 2.828
The null hypothesis is rejected. The proportion of alumni who supports the coach is less than
fifty percent.
59.
The null and alternative hypotheses are:
𝐻0: 𝜋 ≥ 0.0008
𝐻1: 𝜋 < 0.0008
The test is about the population proportion, verify that both n𝜋 and both n (1-𝜋) are at least 5.
n𝜋 = 10000 (0.0008)
=8
Thus, the normal distribution can be used as an approximation of the binomial distribution.
Using the table of the normal distribution for the probability 0.05 of a one-tailed test we find that
value of z is 1.65. We will reject the null hypothesis if the value of the test statistic is greater than
1.65.

Since, - 0.71 does not fall in the rejection region, 𝐻0 is not rejected. There is no evidence that
this route meets the criterion.

𝐻0: µ = 840
𝐻1: µ ≠ 840
Do not reject the null. The mean number of miles traveled could be 840.
The p-value is between 0.05 and 0.025. If the mean number of miles traveled is actually 840, a
sample this extreme will happen about four times out of one hundred similar tests.

𝐻0 is not rejected. The proportion of busses more than 8 years old could be forty percent.
The p-value is 0.3682, found by 2 (0.5000 – 0. 3159). A value this extreme will happen about
once out of three times.
