2) Use the given information to find the P-value. Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the 2)____________

3) Solve the problem. For large numbers of degrees of freedom, the critical χ 2 values can be 3)___________
1
approximated as follows: χ 2 = ( z + 2k − 1 )2 , where k is the number of degrees of freedom
2
and z is the critical value. To find the lower critical value, the negative z-value is used, to find
the upper critical value, the positive z-value is used. Use this approximation to estimate the
critical value of χ 2 in a two-tailed hypothesis test with n = 104 and α = 0.10.

The principal of a middle school claims that test scores of the seventh-graders at his school
vary less than the test scores of the seventh-graders at a neighboring school, which have
variation described by σ = 14.7. Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been
conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in
nontechnical terms.
A) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is greater
than 14.7.
B) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is less than
14.7.
C) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is
greater than 14.7.
D) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is less
than 14.7.

5) A hypothesis test is performed to test the claim that a population proportion is greater than 0.7. 5)__________
Find the probability of a type II error, β , given that the true value of the population proportion
is 0.72. The sample size is 50 and the significance level is 0.05.
A) 0.4129 B) 0.5754 C) 0.7123 D) 0.9706

,6) Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct 6)__________
symbol ( μ , p, σ ) for the indicated parameter. A psychologist claims that more than 5.8 percent
of the population suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness. Use p, the true
percentage of the population that suffers from extreme shyness.
A) H 0 : p = 5.8% B) H 0 : p = 5.8%
H1 : p < 5.8% H1 : p ≤ 5.8%
C) H 0 : p = 5.8% D) H 0 : p < 5.8%
H1 : p > 5.8% H1 : p ≥ 5.8%

7) Use the given information to find the P-value. Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the 7)__________
conclusion about the null hypothesis (reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null
hypothesis). The test statistic in a right-tailed test is z = 0.52.
A) 0.6030; fail to reject the null hypothesis
B) 0.3015; reject the null hypothesis
C) 0.0195; reject the null hypothesis
D) 0.3015; fail to reject the null hypothesis

8) Find the critical value or values of χ 2 based on the given information. 8)__________
H1 : σ < 0.629
n = 19
α = 0.025
A) 8.231 B) 31.526 C) 7.015 D) 8.907

9) Use the given information to find the P-value. Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the 9)__________
conclusion about the null hypothesis (reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null
hypothesis). With H1 : p > 0.554, the test statistic is z = 1.34.
A) 0.9099; fail to reject the null hypothesis
B) 0.0901; reject the null hypothesis
C) 0.0901; fail to reject the null hypothesis
D) 0.1802; reject the null hypothesis

10) Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct 10)__________
symbol ( μ , p, σ ) for the indicated parameter. An entomologist writes an article in a scientific
journal which claims that fewer than 16 in ten thousand male fireflies are unable to produce
light due to a genetic mutation. Use the parameter p, the true proportion of fireflies unable to
produce light.
A) H 0 : p = 0.0016 B) H 0 : p = 0.0016
H1 : p < 0.0016 H1 : p > 0.0016
