Hypothesis Testing of a Single Mean and Single Proportion
Stats Lab
Hypothesis Testing of a Single Mean and Single Proportion
- The student will select the appropriate distributions to use in each case.
- The student will conduct hypothesis tests and interpret the results.
Television SurveyIn a recent survey, it was stated that Americans watch television on average four hours per day. Assume that σ = 2. Using your class as the sample, conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the average for students at your school is lower.
- H0: _____________
- Ha: _____________
- In words, define the random variable. __________ = ______________________
- The distribution to use for the test is _______________________.
- Determine the test statistic using your data.
- Draw a graph and label it appropriately. Shade the actual level of significance.
- Graph:Figure 9.19
- Determine the p-value.
- Graph:
- Do you or do you not reject the null hypothesis? Why?
- Write a clear conclusion using a complete sentence.
Language SurveyAbout 42.3 percent of Californians and 19.6 percent of all Americans over age five speak a language other than English at home. Using your class as the sample, conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the percentage of the students at your school who speak a language other than English at home is different from 42.3 percent.
- H0: ___________
- Ha: ___________
- In words, define the random variable. __________ = _______________
- The distribution to use for the test is ________________.
- Determine the test statistic using your data.
- Draw a graph and label it appropriately. Shade the actual level of significance.
- Graph:Figure 9.20
- Determine the p-value.
- Graph:
- Do you or do you not reject the null hypothesis? Why?
- Write a clear conclusion using a complete sentence.
Jeans SurveyYou've read in an article that young adults own an average of three pairs of jeans. Survey eight people from your class to determine if the average is higher than three. Assume the population is normal.
- H0: _____________
- Ha: _____________
- In words, define the random variable. __________ = ______________________
- The distribution to use for the test is _______________________.
- Determine the test statistic using your data.
- Draw a graph and label it appropriately. Shade the actual level of significance.
- Graph:Figure 9.21
- Determine the p-value.
- Graph:
- Do you or do you not reject the null hypothesis? Why?
- Write a clear conclusion using a complete sentence.
