— : ee) ol At ON MATH2830 EXAM 3B SANTORICO, SPRING 2013 Directions: Complete each of the following problems in the space provided. Be sure to show your work in order to receive full or partial credit. This exam is closed book and closed notes. You may use your calculator and formula sheet. Rounding rules: Express probabilities as reduced fractions or rounded to 2-3 decimal places. If the probability is extremely small, then round to the first nonzero digit. You will be graded on whether you have followed appropriate rounding rules for your confidence intervals. Problems 1-10: Match the following terms with the appropriate definition. Clearly write the letter of the definition next to the appropriate term. (1 pts each) Terms: Definitions: 1. Point Estimate a. Aspecific numerical value estimate of a parameter. 2. Type llError b. The maximum probability of committing a Type | error. 3. Alternative Hypothesis The error that occurs if you reject the null hypothesis when it is true. 4. Critical/Rejection Region d._ The error that occurs if you do not reject the null hypothesis when itis false. 5. Confidence Level e. Atest that uses data obtained from a sample to make a decision about whether the null hypothesis should be rejected 6. Significance Level f. Astatistical hypothesis that states a difference between a parameter and a specific value or states that there is a difference between two parameters. 7. Statistical Test 8. Type | Error 8 Arange of values used to estimate a parameter. h. A statistical hypothesis that states that there is no difference between a parameter and a specific value or that there is no difference between two parameters. 9. Interval Estimate Pe BVI MM bo IH 4 Pi 10. Null Hypothesis, i. The probability that a parameter lies within the interval estimate of a parameter. J. The range of values of the test value that indicates that there is a significant difference and the null hypothesis should be rejected in favor of the null hypothesis. Page 1 Data for problems 11-16: A random sample of 81 college students was surveyed to determine the time required to earn their bachelor’s degrees. The Sample had a mean of 4.6 years and a standard deviation of 2.2 years, Based on this sample, use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean time for all college students i€greaterYnan 4 years. 11.
