She gathers data and finds that 189 of the 290 RCSJ students surveyed had been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia. She would like to conduct a hypothesis test to see if her guess was reasonable. What is her parameter?

    A.

    true proportion of all RCSJ students who plan to go to at least one professional sporting event in the next year

    true proportion of all RCSJ students who have been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia

    true proportion of all RCSJ students who have been to at least one professional sporting event in their lifetime

    D.

    true proportion of all RCSJ students who enjoy watching professional sports

QUESTION 2

  1. Suppose a student guesses that 75% of RCSJ students have been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia. She gathers data and finds that 189 of the 290 RCSJ students surveyed had been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia.

    A.

    75%

    B.

    290

    C.

    65.2%

    D.

    189

QUESTION 3

  1. Suppose a student guesses that 75% of RCSJ students have been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia. She gathers data and finds that 189 of the 290 RCSJ students surveyed had been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia. She would like to conduct a hypothesis test to see if her guess ewas reasonable. Which value below represents the test statistic for this hypothesis test?

    A.

    -0.85

    B.

    -2.85

    C.

    -1.85

    D.

    -3.85

QUESTION 4

  1. Suppose a student guesses that 75% of RCSJ students have been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia. She gathers data and finds that 189 of the 290 RCSJ students surveyed had been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia. She would like to conduct a hypothesis test to see if her guess was reasonable. At a 95% confidence level, what critical value would mark off the rejection region for this test?

    A.

    1.645

    B.

    1.96

    C.

    2.575

    D.

    3.85

Homework Answers

Answer #1

1)true proportion of all RCSJ students who have been to at least one professional sporting event in Philadelphia

2) comparison value in this problem )A) 75%

3)

std error       =Se            =√(p*(1-p)/n) = 0.0254
sample proportion     p̂ x/n= 0.6520
test stat = z                =                        (p̂-p)/Se= -3.85

option D

4)

critical value would mark off the rejection region for this test = 1.96

option B

A graduate student believed that, on the average, college students spend more time on the Internet compared to the rest of the population. She conducted a study to determine if her hypothesis was correct. The student randomly surveyed 25 students and found that the average amount of time spent on the Internet was 11.75 hours per week with a SD = 1.5 hours. The last census found that, on the average, people spent 11 hour per week on the Internet....

The null and alternative hypotheses are: H0: p = 0.4 Ha: p ≠ 0.4 Gail is given a sample and calculates the test statistic. Using a level of significance of α = 0.05, she does not reject the null hypothesis. Gail's friends, Andrew and Ben, also use the sample to calculate a test statistic. However, they differ in the level...
