As we are testing here whether the population mean is less than 130, therefore this is a lower tailed test here. For 0.1 level of significance, as we dont have population standard deviation here, we use the t test here to perform the hypothesis test.
For n - 1 = 8 degrees of freedom, we have from t distribution
tables here:
P( t8 < -1.397) = 0.1
Therefore the rejection region here is given as:
Reject H0 if t < -1.397

Show instructions Question 7 4 pts The output voltage for a certain electric circuit is specified to be 130. A sample study of 9 independent reading on the voltage reading gave a sample mean 128.6 and a standard deviation of 3-2.1. Teat the hypothesis Ho: - 130 against the alternative hypothesis Ha: P < 130 at use a- 0.10. Assuming population distribution normal, what is the rejection region? Ot< -1.833 Ot< -1.397 O z< -1.28 O z< -2.821 - Previous
1. In lecture 23, we learnt an objective way of testing The goal of this quiz is to derive the testing for the less-than type alternative hypothesis o s. (a) Imitate the proof in Lecture 23 to construct a test at 5% level of significance starting from a general test statistic θ for testing the hypothesis in (1). You can have a similar asymptotic normality assumption. Be careful in getting the Z-cutoff to find the appropriate threshold for e rejection...
A company claims that the mean monthly residential electricity consumption in a certain region is more than 890 kilowatt-hours (kWh). You want to test this claim. You find that a random sample of 64 residential customers has a mean monthly consumption of 910 kWh. Assume the population standard deviation is 121 kWh. At a = 0.05, can you support the claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify Ho and Ha. Choose the correct answer below. O B. Ho u...
A sample of 12 radon detectors of a certain type was selected, and each was exposed to 100 pcI/L of radon. The resulting readings were as follows: 105.5 91.4 100.1 91.7 97.0 91.8 97.4 92.9 108.2 100.6 103.8 106.1 in USE SALT (a) Does this data suggest that the population mean reading under these conditions differs from 100? (Use a = 0.05.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: 4 = 100 Haul + 100 Ho: 4 = 100...
The sample of six measurements shown below was randomly selected from a normally distributed population. Complete parts a throughc 1,3, 1, 5, 1,2 a. Test the null hypothesis that the mean of the population is 3 against the alternative hypothesis, 3. Use a 0.10. If a = 0.10, find the rejection region for the test. Choose the correct answer below O A. t 2.015 or t> 2.015 O C. t-2015 O E. t1476 O B. t-1.476 O D. t 1.476...
7.1.37 Question Help A security expert claims that more than 15% of all homeowners have a home security alarm. State Ho and H, in words and in symbols. Then determine whether the hypothesis test for this claim is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. Explain your reasoning State the null hypothesis in words and in symbols. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The null hypothesis expressed in words is, "the proportion of all homeowners who own a home security alarm is...
A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a certain type of light bulb is at least 753 hours. A random sample of 20 light bulbs has a mean life of 732 hours. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is 61 hours. At α=0.02, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. A. H0: μ<732 (claim) Ha: μ≥732...
Test the claim about the population mean, , at the given level of significance using the given sample statistics. Claim: u = 30; a = 0.09; 6 = 3.02. Sample statistics: x = 28.8, n=62 Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: u = 30 Hu> 30 0 C. Ho: < 30 Hau= 30 E. Ho: u = 30 H: #30 OB. Ho:u#30 Ha: u = 30 OD. Ho: > 30 Ha: H...

Find the probability and interpret the results. If convenient, use technology to find the probability. The population mean annual salary for environmental compliance specialists is about $64,500. A random sample of 44 specialists is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean salary of the sample is less than $62,000? Assume o = $6.200 The probability that the mean salary of the sample is less than $62,000...
3. The table to the right shows the cost per ounce (in dollars) for a random sample of toothpastes exhibiting very good stain removal, goad stain removal, and fair stain removal. At α= 0.01, can you conclude that the mean costs per ounce are different? Perform a one-way ANOVA test by completing parts a through d. Assume that each sample is drawn from a normal population, that the samples are independent of each other, and that the populations have the...
