iv). Do you reject H0? State a conclusion.

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the letter of your best answer.

70) Scoreson an IQ test are normally distributed. A sample of 20 IQ scores had standard deviation s = 8.
The developer of the test claims that the population standard deviation is σ = 12. Do these data
provide sufficient evidence to contradict this claim? Use the α = 0.05 level of significance.
A) Reject H 0.

The population standard deviation appears to differ from 12.

B) Do not reject H 0.

There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population standard deviation

differs from 12.

 71) A studyreported that in a sample of 110 people who watch television news, 34 had elevated diastolic
blood pressure levels (in millimeters of mercury, or mmHg). In a sample of 78 people who do not
watch television news, 13 had elevated diastolic blood pressure levels.

Can you conclude that the proportion of people with elevated diastolic blood pressure levels differs
between news-watchers and those who do not watch news? Use the α = 0.05 level of significance.
A) Yes B) No

72) A sample of 22 one-year-old girls had a mean weight of 24.1 pounds with a standard deviation of 4.3
pounds. Assume that the population of weights is normally distributed. A pediatrician claims that the
standard deviation of the weights of one-year-old girls is less than 5.7 pounds. Do the data provide
convincing evidence that the pediatrician’s claim is true? Use the α = 0.10 level of significance.
A) Reject H 0. B) Do not reject H 0.

PROVIDE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:

73) The football coach at State University wishes to determine if there is a decrease in offensive
production between the first half and the second half of his team's recent games. The table below
shows the first-half and second-half offensive production (measured in total yards gained per half) for
the past six games.

Game
1 2 3 4 5 6
First half yards 94 75 66 101 75 89
Second half yards 97 71 44 100 60 85

Can you conclude that the mean offensive production in the first half differed from that of the second
half?
i). State the null and alternative hypotheses.
ii). Compute the test statistic.
iii). State a conclusion using the α = 0.05 level of significance.
