A hypothesis test is used to test the hypotheses H0: μ = 10.5 versus HA: μ > 10.5 where μ = the mean weight of a one-year old tabby cat. Based on a random sample of 21 cats, a p-value of 0.0234 is found.
a) Using α = 0.05, what is the conclusion for this test, reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
b) Based on your answer to part b, what type of error did you possibly make, Type I or Type II?
a)
p-Value = 0.0234
Decision: p-value<α, Reject null hypothesis
Conclusion: There is enough evidence to the mean weight of a one-year old tabby cat is different than 10.5
b)
Here we have rejected null hypthesis , hence
Type I error is the rejection of a true null hypothesis (also known as a "false positive" finding or conclusion)

Consider the following hypotheses: H0: μ ≥ 167 HA: μ < 167 A sample of 71 observations results in a sample mean of 165. The population standard deviation is known to be 25 . a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic a-2. Find the p-value. b. Does the above sample evidence enable us to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.05? c. Does the above sample evidence enable us to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.01?...
Consider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ ≥ 10 Ha: μ < 10 The sample size is 155 and the population standard deviation is assumed known with σ = 5. Use α = 0.05. (a) If the population mean is 9, what is the probability that the sample mean leads to the conclusion do not reject H0? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What type of error would be made if the actual population mean is 9 and...

Consider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ ≤ 50 Ha: μ > 50 A sample of 60 is used and the population standard deviation is 8. Use the critical value approach to state your conclusion for each of the following sample results. Use α = 0.05. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

A test of H0: μ = 20 versus H1: μ > 20 is performed using a significance level of α = 0.05. The value of the test statistic is z = 1.47. If the true value of μ is 25, does the test conclusion result in a Type I error, a Type II error, or a Correct decision?

You set up a two-sided hypothesis test for a population mean μ with a null hypothesis of H0:μ=100. You chose a significance level of α=0.05. The p-value calculated from the data is 0.12, and hence you failed to reject the null hypothesis. Suppose that after your analysis was completed and published, an expert informed you that the true value of μ is 104. How would you describe the result of your analysis? A) A Type 1 error was made because...
