The last post I think has a wrong answer involved but everything I put in bold are the answers I plugged in but only received 86%
A report says that 82% of British Columbians over the age of 25 are high school graduates. A survey of randomly selected residents of a certain city included 1290 who were over the age of 25, and 1135 of them were high school graduates. Does the city's survey result provide sufficient evidence to contradict the reported value, 82%?
Part i) What is the parameter of
interest?
A. The proportion of 1290 British Columbians (aged
above 25) who are high school graduates.
B. All British Columbians aged above 25.
C. The proportion of all British Columbians (aged above 25)
who are high school graduates.
D. Whether a British Columbian is a high school
graduate.
Part ii) Let p be the population proportion of
British Columbians aged above 25 who are high school graduates.
What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
A. Null: p=0.82Alternative: p>0.82.
B. Null: p=0.88Alternative: p≠0.82
C. Null: p=0.88 Alternative: p≠0.88
D. Null: p=0.88 Alternative: p>0.88
E. Null: p=0.82Alternative: p=0.88
F. Null: p=0.82Alternative: p≠0.82
Part iii) The P-value is less than 0.0001.
Using all the information available to you, which of the following
is/are correct? (check all that apply)
A. The observed proportion of British Columbians
who are high school graduates is unusually high if the reported
value 82% is incorrect.
B. The observed proportion of British Columbians
who are high school graduates is unusually low if the reported
value 82% is correct.
C. The observed proportion of British Columbians
who are high school graduates is unusually low if the reported
value 82% is incorrect.
D. Assuming the reported value 82% is incorrect,
it is nearly impossible that in a random sample of 1290 British
Columbians aged above 25, 1135 or more are high school
graduates.
E. Assuming the reported value 82% is correct, it is nearly
impossible that in a random sample of 1290 British Columbians aged
above 25, 1135 or more are high school graduates.
F. The reported value 82% must be false.
G. The observed proportion of British Columbians who are
high school graduates is unusually high if the reported value 82%
is correct.
Part iv) Based on the PP-value (less than
0.0001) obtained, at the 5% significance level, ...
A. we should not reject the null hypothesis.
B. we should reject the null hypothesis.
Part v) What is an appropriate conclusion for
the hypothesis test at the 5% significance level?
A. There is sufficient evidence to contradict the reported
value 82%.
B. There is insufficient evidence to contradict
the reported value 82%.
C. There is a 5% probability that the reported
value 82% is true.
D. Both A. and C.
E. Both B. and C.
Part vi) Which of the following scenarios
describe the Type II error of the test?
A. The data suggest that reported value is correct when in
fact the value is incorrect.
B. The data suggest that reported value is
incorrect when in fact the value is correct.
C. The data suggest that reported value is
incorrect when in fact the value is incorrect.
D. The data suggest that reported value is correct
when in fact the value is correct.
Part vii) Based on the result of the hypothesis
test, which of the following types of errors are we in a position
of committing?
A. Type II error only.
B. Neither Type I nor Type II errors.
C. Both Type I and Type II errors.
D. Type I error only.
type
In error is committed when we reject the null hypothesis when it is
true.
