ACTIVITY #9

ACTIVITY #9

1. The following are methods used to test hypotheses except:

a) traditional (computed value) method
b) p-value method
c) confidence interval method
d) survey method

2. What hypothesis states equality or no difference, or no relationship/effect?

a) statistical hypothesis
b) Null hypothesis
c) alternative hypothesis

3. What hypothesis states no equality or existence of differences, relationship,

or effect?
a) statistical hypothesis
b) null hypothesis
c) alternative hypothesis

4. Which hypothesis is generally formulated to look for evidence to support a claim called a
research hypothesis?
a) statistical hypothesis
b) null hypothesis
c) alternative hypothesis

5. In reality, the null hypothesis may or may not be true, and a decision is made to reject
or not to reject it on the basis of the data obtained from a sample.
a) True
b) False
6. The level of significance is the maximum probability of committing a type II error.
a) True
b) False

7. A level of significance of 5% means:

a) There's a 5% chance we're wrong
b) There's a 5% chance we'll be wrong if we fail to reject the null hypothesis
c) There's a 5% chance we'll be wrong if we reject the null hypothesis.
d) There's a 5% chance you'll get an A on the test.

8. Which value separates the critical region from the noncritical region in a normal curve
when testing the hypothesis?
a) computed value
b) t-value
c) z-value
d) critical value

9. Which of the following shows a right-tailed test?

a) H1: µ < 15
b) H0: µ < 15
c) H1: µ > 15
d) H0: µ > 15

10. Which of the following shows a left-tailed test?

a) H1: µ < 15
b) H0: µ >15
c) H1: µ > 15
d) H0: µ > 15

11. A Type I error is when:

a) We obtain the wrong test statistic
b) We reject the null hypothesis when it is actually true
c) We fail to reject the null hypothesis when it's actually false
d) We reject the alternate hypothesis when it's actually true

12. Identify the correct null hypothesis:

a) H0: p = 0.50
b) H0: µ = 100
c) H0: p = 0.48
d) H0: µ = 96
13. We conclude "Fail to reject H0". What could we use as our interpretation?
a) The proportion of babies born male is not 0.50.
b) There is not enough evidence to say that the proportion of babies born male is
different from 0.50.
c) There is not enough evidence to say that the proportion of babies born male is 0.50.

14. A level of significance of 5% means:

a) There's a 5% chance we're wrong
b) There's a 5% chance we'll be wrong if we fail to reject the null hypothesis
c) There's a 5% chance we'll be wrong if we reject the null hypothesis.
d) There's a 5% chance you'll get an A on the test.

15. Which of the following is not an option for an alternative hypothesis?

a) Ha = k
b) Ha > k
c) Ha < k
d) Ha ≠ k
