    A two-tailed hypothesis test of proportions was conducted to determine if a population proportion of 0.40 was correct. A sample of 250 found a proportion of 0.44, which was not statistically significant based on the z-score. If the alternative proportion was actually 0.36, there is a probability of committing a Type II error by not rejecting the null hypothesis. A hypothesis test of a mean salary of $60,000 was performed using a sample of 40 salaries with a mean of $58,000 and standard deviation of $5,000. The test will determine at the 5% significance level whether there is enough evidence to reject the claim about the population mean salary.

    Suppose you are conducting a two-tailed hypothesis test of proportions.

    The null hypothesis is that the population


    proportion is .40. The alternative hypothesis is that the population proportion is not .40. A random sample of 250
    produces a sample proportion of .44. With alpha of .05, the tablezvalue for The observed z from the sample
    information is Thus the null hypothesis is not rejected. Either a correct decision is made or a Type II error is
    committed. Suppose the alternative population proportion really is .36. What is the probability of committing a
    Type II error?
    You want to test a claim that the population mean salary of a certain profession
    is $60,000. You collect a sample of 40 salaries, and the sample mean is $58,000
    with a sample standard deviation of $5,000. Perform a hypothesis test at a 5%
    significance level to determine if there is enough evidence to reject the claim
