    1. The document discusses hypothesis testing for means. It provides 31 multiple choice questions about hypothesis testing concepts like null and alternative hypotheses, test statistics, p-values, and interpreting hypothesis test results. 2. Key concepts covered include forming the null and alternative hypotheses based on the research question, calculating the test statistic and converting it to a z-score, determining the p-value and comparing it to the significance level, and deciding whether to reject the null hypothesis. 3. The questions address hypothesis tests for single means and paired means, one-tailed and two-tailed tests, and interpreting confidence intervals in relation to hypothesis tests.

    For this assignment, assume the significance level, α, is equal to 0.05 unless otherwise stated.

    1. Suppose it’s reported that the average gas price in Ohio is $2.10 per gallon. You believe it’s
    lower than that. Your random sample of 100 gas stations in Ohio has an average gas price of
    $1.98 per gallon. What is your null hypothesis?
    a. Ho: μ x =$ 2.10
    b. Ho: μ x > $ 2.10
    c. Ho: μ x =$ 2.20
    d. None of the above

    3. Suppose it’s reported that the average gas price in Ohio is $2.10 per gallon. You believe it’s
    lower than that. Your random sample of 100 gas stations in Ohio has an average gas price of
    $1.98 per gallon. What is your alternative hypothesis?
    a. Ha: μ x =$ 2.10
    b. Ha: μ x > $ 2.10
    c. Ha: μ x < $ 2.10
    d. Ha: μ x < $ 1.98

    4. ****************

    5. If you are doing a hypothesis test for a population mean, you collect your data, find your
    statistic, and change it to a standard score (Z-score). What is the special name we give to this Z-
    score?
    a. p-value
    b. Test statistic
    c. Significance level
    d. None of the above

    7. Suppose it’s reported that the average gas price in Ohio is $2.10 per gallon. You believe it’s
    lower than that. Your random sample of 100 gas stations in Ohio has an average gas price of
    $1.98 per gallon. Assume the standard deviation of all gas prices is .50. What is the test statistic?
    a. 1.98
    b. 2.40
    c. -2.40
    d. None of the above.

    your alternative hypothesis. What is this probability called?
    a. p-value
    b. H0 probability
    c. Significance level
    d. None of the above

    10. **************

    11. Suppose you are doing a hypothesis test where your hypotheses are Ho: u = 10 vs Ha: u > 10,
    and your test statistic is equal to 2.87. What is the p-value?
    a. .4979
    b. .0021
    c. .9979
    d. None of the above.

    12. ***************

    13. If you have enough evidence against H0 and you are able to reject it, your p-value must have
    been:
    a. Small
    b. Large

    14. ******************

    15. Suppose your p-value is .10. What is your conclusion?


    a. Reject Ho
    b. Fail to Reject Ho

    16. ***************

    17. The p-value is preset and known before the hypothesis test is conducted, but the significance
    level is unknown until the data has been collected.
    a. True
    b. False

    18. *************

    19. The p-value changes if you obtain a new data set, but the significance level stays the same.
    a. True
    b. False

    21. Yogurt containers are supposed to have a mean fill amount of 8 ounces. You believe the
    containers are under filled. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
    a. H0: µ = 8 and HA: µ < 8
    b. H0: µ < 8 and HA: µ ≥ 8
    c. H0: x̄=8 and HA: x < 8
    d. None of the above

    22. *****************

    23. For a two-tailed hypothesis test (meaning Ha is µ ≠µo) the further away your test statistic gets
    from 0 the more likely it is that you will reject Ho.
    a. True b. False

    24. **************

    25. For a two-tailed hypothesis test (meaning Ha is µ≠µo) the further away your test statistic gets
    from 0 the larger your p-value gets.
    a. True b. False

    26. ***************

    27. A two-tailed hypothesis test (meaning Ha is µ ≠ µo) is related to a confidence interval. If the
    value in H0 is not in the confidence interval, it means you ____________ H0.
    a. Reject b. Fail to reject

    28. **************

    29. The U.S. Census Bureau data show that the mean household income in the area served by a
    shopping mall is $42,500 per year. Some market research firm questions shoppers at the mall.
    The researchers suspect the mean household income of mall shoppers is higher than that of the
    general population. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

    30. ****************

    31. A test of the null hypothesis H0: µ = µ0 gives test statistic z = 1.90. Our significance level is α =
    0.05.
    a. What is the p-value if the alternative is HA: µ > µ0? Do you reject the null hypothesis?
    b. What is the p-value if the alternative is HA: µ ≠ µ0? Do you reject the null hypothesis?
    c. What if her p-value was .30 instead of .03? Answer the same questions.
