A medical researcher believes that more than 20% of U.S. adults are smokers. To test this claim, he takes a SRS of 250 U.S. adults and finds that 21.6% are smokers. Test his claim at the .05 significance level.

Ho: p=.2  Ha: p>.2

Since p-value > .05, we fail to reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study does not support the claim that more than 20% of U.S adults are smokers

It is reported that the mean height of Americans is 175 inches. A random sample of 51 Americans is conducted and found a mean height of 176 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the mean height for Americans has increased. Use a 0.05 significance level.


Ho: M=175  Ha: M>175

Since p-value < .05 we reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study supports the claim that the mean height of Americans has increased

A random sample of 100 pairs of ladies/ shoes had a mean size of 8.3. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.5. Can you conclude that the mean size of ladies/ shoes differs from 8? Use the .01 level of significance.

Ho: M=8  Ha: M≠8

Since p-value > .01, we fail to reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study does not support the claim that the mean size of ladies/ shoes differs from 8

A leading research firm reports that 33% of young adults have completed a college degree. One state leader who is trying to create more scholarship money for college believes that the rate is lower than that in his state. The state leader commissions a study that surveys 500 young adults in the same age bracket as the national study to see if they have completed a college degree. Of the 500 interviewed, 152 have completed a college degree. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the state leader has evidence to support his claim

Ho: p=.33  Ha: p<.33

Since p-value > .05, we fail to reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study does not support the claim that the rate for young adults completing a college degree is less than 33%

An advocacy group that provides services to families believes that the average household size in the U.S. has decreased in the last few years. In 2002, it was reported that the mean household size was 2.58 people. A random sample of 41 homes is conducted and found a mean size of 2.5 people with a standard deviation of 0.1. Conduct a hypothesis test to the claim of the advocacy group.

Ho: M=2.58  Ha: M<2.58

Since p-value < .05, we reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study supports the claim that the average household size in the U.S has decreased in the last few years 

p-value is in scientific notation

A nationally recognized IQ test has a mean of 100 and population standard deviation of 15. The Superintendent of the Reallysmart School District believes that the students in his district have a higher IQ. He takes a SRS of 100 students and finds that the sample mean is 101. Test his claim at the .05 significance level

Ho: M=100  Ha: M>100

Since p-value > .05 we fail to reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study does not support the claim that the mean IQ for students at Reallysmart school are higher than the national average at a significant level

The tenants believe the proportion of housing this size is smaller than the claim, and hire an independent engineering firm to test an appropriate hypothesis. He finds that among a random sample of 230 public housing units, 172 of them are 1500 sq. ft. Is the tenants claim substantiated by this report? Test at the .01 level of significance.

Ho: p=.75  Ha: p<.75

Since p-value >.05, we fail to reject the Ho

No, the tenants claim is not substantiated by this report

A government report indicates that in 2012 the mean cost for a normal delivery of a baby was $9775. A consumer group believes that one particular hospital group has lower mean for baby delivery costs. The take a random sample of the costs for 40 deliveries in the past year with this particular hospital group and finds a mean cost of $9, 700 with a standard deviation of $325. Conduct a hypothesis test at the .05 significance level to test
the claim of the consumer group

Ho: M=9,775  Ha: M<9,775

Since p-value > .05, we fail to reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study does not support the claim that the mean cost of having a baby is significantly lower for this hospital group

The volumes of soda in quart soda bottles can reportedly be described by a Normal model with a mean of 32.3 oz and a population standard deviation of 1.2 oz. A consumer advocate group thinks that the volume is actually less than that. They take a SRS of 50 bottles and find a sample mean of 32.1 oz. Test the claim of the advocate group at the .05 significance level.

Ho: M=32.3  Ha: M<32.3

Since p-value >.05, we fail to reject Ho

We have convincing evidence that the study does not support the claim that the volume of soda bottled for this brand is significantly less than what is reported
