MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore.
Suppose that a storm is in progress with a severe storm class rating. Let us say that we want
to set up a statistical test to see if the wave action (i.e., height) is dying down or getting
worse. If you wanted to test the hypothesis that the waves are dying down, what would you
use for the alternate hypothesis? Is the P-value area on the left, right, or on both sides of the
mean?
A) H1 :  is less than 16.4 feet; the P-value area is on the right of the mean
B) H1 :  is not equal to 16.4 feet; the P-value area is on the right of the mean

9. A professional employee in a large corporation receives an average of  = 41.5 e-mails per

day. Most of these e-mails are from other employees in the company. Because of the large
number of e-mails, employees find themselves distracted and are unable to concentrate
when they return to their tasks. In an effort to reduce distraction caused by such
interruptions, one company established a priority list that all employees were to use before
sending an e-mail. One month after the new priority list was put into place, a random sample
of 37 employees showed that they were receiving an average of x = 33.8 e-mails per day.
The computer server through which the e-mails are routed showed that  = 19.5 Has the
new policy had any effect? Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that there has

first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly

Assume that the hay fever rate in each age group has an approximately normal distribution.
Do the data indicate that the age group over 50 has a lower rate of hay fever? Use 0.05.
If 0.10 < P-value < 0.20, will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data
statistically significant at confidence level ?
A) Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, the data are statistically
significant. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
B) Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, the data are not statistically
significant. Thus, we reject the null hypothesis.
C) Since the P-value is greater than the level of significance, the data are statistically
significant. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
D) Since the P-value is greater than the level of significance, the data are not
statistically significant. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
E) Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, the data are statistically
