    1. Which of the following would be an appropriate alternative hypothesis?

    a) The population proportion is less than 0.65.


    b) The sample proportion is less than 0.65.
    c) The population proportion is no less than 0.65.
    d) The sample proportion is no less than 0.65.

    2. For a given level of significance (  ), if the sample size n is increased, the probability of a Type
    II error (  )
    a) will decrease.
    b) will increase.
    c) will remain the same.
    d) cannot be determined.

    3. We have created a 95% confidence interval for  with the result (10, 15). What decision will we
    make if we test H0 :  16 versus H1 :   16 at  = 0.10?
    a) Reject H0 in favor of H1.
    b) Accept H0 in favor of H1.
    c) Fail to reject H0 in favor of H1.
    d) We cannot tell what our decision will be from the information given.

    4. A survey claims that 9 out of 10 doctors recommend aspirin for their patients with headaches. To
    test this claim against the alternative that the actual proportion of doctors who recommend aspirin
    is less than 0.90, a random sample of 100 doctors results in 83 who indicate that they recommend
    aspirin. The value of the test statistic in this problem is approximately equal to:
    a) – 4.12
    b) – 2.33
    c) – 1.86
    d) – 0.07

    5. A manager of the credit department for an oil company would like to determine whether the
    average monthly balance of credit card holders is equal to $75. An auditor selects a random
    sample of 100 accounts and finds that the average owed is $83.40 with a sample standard
    deviation of $23.65. If you were to conduct a test to determine whether the average balance is
    different from $75 and decided to reject the null hypothesis, what conclusion could you draw?
    a) There is not evidence that the average balance is $75.
    b) There is not evidence that the average balance is not $75.
    c) There is evidence that the average balance is $75.
    d) There is evidence that the average balance is not $75.

    TABLE 9-1

    Microsoft Excel was used on a set of data involving the number of parasites found on 46 Monarch
    butterflies captured in Pismo Beach State Park. A biologist wants to know if the mean number of
    parasites per butterfly is over 20. She will make her decision using a test with a level of significance
    of 0.10. The following information was extracted from the Microsoft Excel output for the sample of
    46 Monarch butterflies:
    n = 46; Arithmetic Mean = 28.00; Standard Deviation = 25.92; Standard Error = 3.82;
    Null Hypothesis: H0 :   20.000;  = 0.10; df = 45; T Test Statistic = 2.09;
    One-Tailed Test Upper Critical Value = 1.3006; p-value = 0.021; Decision = Reject.

    6. Referring to Table 9-1, the power of the test is _____ if the mean number of parasites per
    butterfly on Monarch butterflies in Pismo Beach State Park is 30 using a 0.1 level of significance
    and assuming that the population standard deviation is 25.92.

    TABLE 9-2

    A student claims that he can correctly identify whether a person is a business major or an agriculture
    major by the way the person dresses. Suppose in actuality that if someone is a business major, he can
    correctly identify that person as a business major 87% of the time. When a person is an agriculture
    major, the student will incorrectly identify that person as a business major 16% of the time. Presented
    with one person and asked to identify the major of this person (who is either a business or agriculture
    major), he considers this to be a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis being that the person is a
    business major and the alternative that the person is an agriculture major.

    7. Referring to Table 9-2, what is the “actual confidence coefficient”?


    a) 0.13
    b) 0.16
    c) 0.84
    d) 0.87
