101. A one sample, one-tail t-test is conducted and the test statistic value is calculated to
be 1.86. The degrees of freedom for the test are 16. Which of the following conclusions
for the test would be correct?
a. the null hypothesis can be rejected at the 1 % level of significance
b. the null hypothesis can be rejected at the 2.5 % level of significance
c. the null hypothesis can be rejected at the 5 % level of significance
d. both a and b above are correct conclusions
e. both b and c above are correct conclusions
Answer: C
102. The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50
years is 15 mg/day. A study undertaken on a sample of 115 males aged between 65 and
74 years reports the average daily intake as 11.3 mg with a standard deviation of 6.43
mg. Researchers with to test whether the actual average daily zinc intake of males aged
between 65 and 74 years falls below the recommended allowance. What is the
conclusion of the test in this case?
a. p < 0.005, we therefore reject H0 and conclude that the daily zinc intake of males
between 65 and 74 is less than the recommended daily allowance
b. p < 0.005, we therefore cannot reject H0 and conclude that the daily zinc intake of
males between 65 and 74 is less than the recommended daily allowance
c. p > 0.05, we therefore cannot reject H0, and conclude that the daily zinc intake of
males between 65 and 74 equals the recommended daily allowance
d. p > 0.05, we therefore accept the alternative hypothesis, and conclude that the daily
zinc intake of males between 65 and 74 is less than the recommended daily allowance

e. p < 0.005, we therefore reject H0 and conclude that the daily zinc intake of males
between 65 and 74 is the same as the recommended daily allowance

107. The mean life of a battery used in a digital clock is 305 days. The lives of the
batteries follow a normal distribution. The battery was recently modified to last longer.
A sample of 20 of the modified batteries had a mean life of 311 days with a standard
deviation of 12 days. A hypothesis test is undertaken to determine whether the
modification increased the battery life. What conclusion can be made about the battery
life, given a 5 % level of significance for the test?
a. we do not reject the null hypothesis at the 5 % level of significance and conclude that
the mean battery life has increased
b. we reject the null hypothesis at the 5 % level of significance and conclude that the
mean battery life has not increased
c. we do not reject the null hypothesis at the 5 % level of significance and conclude that
the mean battery life has not increased
d. we reject the null hypothesis at the 5 % level of significance and conclude that the
mean battery life has increased
e. no conclusion can be made about the mean battery life as too little information is
available
