An environmental researcher is concerned that a new industrial plant has made the water in a nearby stream more acidic. The pH measures the amount of acidity or alkalinity of a substance (Pure water would have a pH of 7, numbers lower than 7 indicate acids, numbers greater than 7 indicate alkaline bases). The researcher collects 40 water samples and has found an average pH of 5.9. The researcher would like to conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if the water is significantly acidic.

Select all of the correct null and alternative hypotheses.

Selecione uma ou mais das seguintes:

H0: μ = 7
H0: μ = 5.9
H0: μ = 0
Ha: μ < μ0
Ha: μ > μ0

The director of student health at a large university was concerned that students at his school were consuming too many calories each day. For a certain population of college-age students, it is recommended to consume around 2,000 calories/day. The director would like to test the hypothesis that

H0:μ=2000 vs. HA:μ>2000.

In a random sample of 50 students the director found that the average was 2105 calories/day with a standard deviation of 288 calories/day. Calculate the appropriate test statistic for this situation.

The p-value is generically defined as: the proportion of the null distribution that is equal to or more extreme than the test statistic. There are many other ways to communicate the idea of what a p-value represents (i.e. other ways to word the definition). Which of the following are also valid ways to define a p-value?

Hint: the p-value is a probability (recall: proportion under a distribution = area under the curve = probability); think carefully about each of the probabilities described below--are the consistent with the definition of the p-value or not?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

The p-value represents the probability of observing the test statistic or something more extreme, if the null hypothesis were true.
The p-value represents the probability of observing the test statistic or something more extreme, if the alternative hypothesis were true.

SAS output based on the car data from Discussion 4 is shown below.
Recall: Data was collected on a random sample of 20 undergraduate students who have a college parking permit at Mid-South State University. These students were asked to report the characteristics of their cars including:
Age: The age of the car in years.
Miles: The number of miles the car was driven during the week of the study. Students were notified at the beginning of the study week and asked to track the number of miles driven.
You may assume that all of the students responded and gave accurate information.

You can use proc ttest to conduct a hypothesis test for a mean in SAS. For simplicity, SAS output of the hypothesis test for age is shown below.

This output shows several summary measures (sample size, mean, standard deviation, standard error of the sample mean, minimum and maximum values) and even confidence intervals for the mean and for the standard deviation. (A files with similar annotated output is posted to the top of the course Moodle page).

The very last table shows the test statistic (t = 1.47) and the 2-sided p-value (which is 0.1570). This p-value is testing the following hypotheses:

Ho: μ = 5

Ha: μ ≠ 5.

Consider instead if we had wanted to test these hypotheses:

Ho: μ = 5

Ha: μ > 5.

What would be the appropriate interpretation of the p-value for this test?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

The p-value is the proportion of the null distribution that is equal to or more extreme than 1.47.
The p-value is the proportion of the null distribution that is greater than or equal to 1.47.
The p-value is the proportion of the null distribution that is less than or equal to 1.47.
