There are a variety of issues we should be aware of that can be limitations to utility of significance tests, and all of the following are examples of this EXCEPT:
Group of answer choices
We should recognize that some tests may be statistically significant just by chance
We should be careful not to only report results if they are statistically significant
It is incorrect to interpret the p-value as the probability that the null hypothesis is true
We cannot draw conclusions from significance tests for a mean if the underlying population distributions are not normal
Homework Answers
There are some tests which we can use even if the population is not normal. Hence,
The wrong example is:
We cannot draw conclusions from significance tests for a mean if the underlying population distributions are not normal.
Option D is the correct choice.

A new fuel injection system has been engineered for pickup trucks. The new system and the old system both produce about the same average miles per gallon. However, engineers question which system (old or new) will give better consistency in fuel consumption (miles per gallon) under a variety of driving conditions. A random sample of 31 trucks were fitted with the new fuel injection system and driven under different conditions. For these trucks, the sample variance of gasoline consumption was...

The highway department is testing two types of reflecting paint for concrete bridge end pillars. The two kinds of paint are alike in every respect except that one is orange and the other is yellow. The orange paint is applied to 12 bridges, and the yellow paint is applied to 12 bridges. After a period of 1 year, reflectometer readings were made on all these bridge end pillars. (A higher reading means better visibility.) For the orange paint, the mean...

1. Regarding a two-tailed z-test with an alpha of 0.05, we would need a Zobt with an absolute value less than 1.96 in order to reject the null hypothesis. True or False? 2. What happens to the probability of committing a Type I error if the level of significance is changed from α = 0.05 to α = 0.01? A. It increases B. It decreases C. It stays the same D. Cannot determine 3. Given a Zobt of -1.99 ,...

anufacturer claims that your new car gets 32 mpg on the highway. You suspect that the mpg is a different number for your car. The 52 trips on the highway that you took averaged 26.9 mpg and the standard deviation for these 52 trips was 12.6 mpg. What can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: HO: ? Select...

An agronomist examines the cellulose content of a variety of alfalfa hay. Suppose that the cellulose content in the population has standard deviation ? = 9 milligrams per gram (mg/g). A sample of 15 cuttings has mean cellulose content x = 145 mg/g. (a) Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean cellulose content in the population. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) , (b) A previous study claimed that the mean cellulose content was ? = 140 mg/g,...

Given X, and x, distributions that are normal or approximately normal with unknown o, and on, the value of t corresponding to X, - X, has a distribution that is approximated by a Student's t distribution. We use the convention that the degrees of freedom is approximately the smaller of n - 1 and n, - 1. However, a more accurate estimate for the appropriate degrees of freedom is given by Satterthwaite's formula: 2 2 xn2 522 +$22) d.f. z...
