A researcher is planning a psychological intervention study, but before he proceeds he wants to characterize his participants' depression levels. He tests each participant on a particular depression index, where anyone who achieves a score of 4.0 is deemed to have 'normal' levels of depression. Lower scores indicate less depression and higher scores indicate greater depression. He has recruited 25 participants to take part in the study. This test will tell him whether his sample is representative of the normal population (i.e., do they score statistically significantly differently from 4.0).

Given an alpha of 0.05, I would do this to the null hypothesis if my p-value was 0.50.

Twelve cars were equipped with radial tires and driven over a test course. Then the same 12 cars (with the same drivers) were equipped with regular belted tires and driven over the same course. After each run, the cars’ gas economy (in km/l) was measured. Is there evidence that radial tires produce better fuel economy?

This error occurs if we reject the null hypothesis H0 (in favor of the alternative hypothesis HA) when the null hypothesis H0 is true.

A Little League baseball coach wants to know if his team is representative of other teams in scoring runs. Nationally, the average number of runs scored by a Little League team in a game is 5.7. He chooses five games at random in which his team scored 5 9, 4, 11, and 8 runs. Is it likely that his team's scores could have come from the national distribution? Test with 95% confidence. What type of test do we run?

Within a school district, students were randomly assigned to one of two Math teachers - Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones. After the assignment, Mrs. Smith had 30 students, and Mrs. Jones had 25 students. At the end of the year, each class took the same standardized test. Mrs. Smith's students had an average test score of 78, with a standard deviation of 10; and Mrs. Jones' students had an average test score of 85, with a standard deviation of 15. This test statistic will test the hypothesis that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones are equally effective teachers.

Given this hypothesis- H0: p = .03 HA: p < .03, you determined the test statistic to be z= -2.39. This is the corresponding p-value.

A farmer decides to try out a new fertilizer on a test plot containing 10 stalks of corn. Before applying the fertilizer, he measures the height of each stalk. Two weeks later, he measures the stalks again, being careful to match each stalk's new height to its previous one. The stalks would have grown an average of 6 inches during that time even without the fertilizer. Did the fertilizer help?

A Little League baseball coach wants to know if his team is representative of other teams in scoring runs. Nationally, the average number of runs scored by a Little League team in a game is 5.7. He chooses five games at random in which his team scored 5, 9, 4, 11, and 8 runs. Is it likely that his team's scores could have come from the national distribution? Test with 95% confidence. What are the null and alternative hypothesis in statistical notation AND in written form?
H0: mu = 5.7 HA: mu /=/ 5.7 Null: The team is representative of other teams in scoring runs. Alternative: The team is NOT representative of other teams in scoring runs.

A herd of 1,500 steer was fed a special high‐protein grain for a month. A random sample of 29 were weighed and had gained an average of 6.7 pounds. This statistic will test the hypothesis that the average weight gain per steer for the month was more than 5 pounds.

A research study was conducted to examine the differences between older and younger adults on perceived life satisfaction. A pilot study was conducted to examine this hypothesis. Ten older adults (over the age of 70) and fifteen younger adults (between 20 and 30) were give a life satisfaction test (known to have high reliability and validity).

The managers of a local record shop want to know which days of the week employees are absent in a five day work week. Most employers would like to believe that employees are absent equally during the week. Suppose a random sample of 60 managers were asked on which day of the week did they have the highest number of employee absences. This test would allow them to determine the which day of the week most employees were absent.

Cedar-apple rust is a (non-fatal) disease that affects apple trees. Its most obvious symptom is rust-colored spots on apple leaves. Red cedar trees are the immediate source of the fungus that infects the apple trees. If you could remove all red cedar trees within a few miles of the orchard, you should eliminate the problem. In the first year of this experiment the number of affected leaves on 8 apple trees was counted; the following winter all red cedar trees within 100 yards of the orchard were removed and the following year the same apple trees were examined for affected leaves. Is there evidence that removing the red ceder trees decreased the incidence of disease?

Jackson et al. (2013) wanted to know whether it is better to give the diptheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine in either the thigh or the arm, so they collected data on severe reactions to this vaccine in children aged 3 to 6 years old. This test would allow him to see if there is a relationship between location of injection and negative reactions.
