We are about to test a hypothesis using data from a well-designed study. Which is true?I. A small P-value would be strong evidence against the null hypothesis.II. We can set a higher standard of proof by choosing  = 10% instead of 5%.III. If we reduce the alpha level, we reduce the power of the test.

Dolphin births A state has two aquariums that have dolphins, with more births recorded at the larger aquarium than at the smaller one. Records indicate that in general babies are equally likely to be male or female, but the gender ratio varies from season to season. Which aquarium is more likely to report a season when over two-thirds of the dolphins born were males? Explain.

To plan the course offerings for the next year a university department dean needs to estimate what impact the “No Child Left Behind” legislation might have on the teacher credentialing program. Historically, 40% of this university’s pre-service teachers have qualified for paid internship positions each year. The Dean of Education looks at a random sample of internship applications to see what proportion indicate the applicant has achieved the content-mastery that is required for the internship. Based on these data he creates a 90% confidence interval of (33%, 41%). Could this confidence interval be used to test the hypothesis : versus : at the

A truck company wants on-time delivery for 98% of the parts they order from a metal manufacturing plant. They have been ordering from Hudson Manufacturing but will switch to a new, cheaper manufacturer (Steel-R-Us) unless there is evidence that this new manufacturer cannot meet the 98% on-time goal. As a test the truck company purchases a random sample of metal parts from Steel-R-Us, and then determines if these parts were delivered on-time. Which hypothesis should they test?

A pharmaceutical company investigating whether drug stores are less likely than food markets to remove over-the-counter drugs from the shelves when the drugs are past the expiration date found a P-value of 2.8%. This means that: 

A coffee house owner knows that customers pour different amounts of coffee into their cups. She samples cups from 10 costumers she believes to be representative of the customers and weighs the cups, finding a mean of 12.5 ounces and standard deviation of 0.5 ounces. Assuming these cups of coffee can be considered a random sample of all cups of coffee which of the following formulas gives a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all cups of coffee? 

Consider the function . (a) Find the second derivative

Approval rating A newspaper article reported that a poll based on a sample of 1150 residents of a state showed that the state’s Governor’s job approval rating stood at 58%. They claimed a margin of error of ±3%. What level of confidence were the pollsters using? 

A philosophy professor wants to find out whether the mean age of the men in his large lecture class is equal to the mean age of the women in his classes. After collecting data from a random sample of his students, the professor tested the hypothesis
