1.

The p-value hypothesis testing represents which of the following:

a. The probability of observing results as extreme or more extreme than currently observed, given that
the null hypothesis is true.

b. The probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis, given the observed results.

c. The probability that the null hypothesis is true, given the observed results.

d. The probability that the observed results are statistically significant, given that the null hypothesis is
true.

Answer: A. The probability of observing results as extreme or more extreme than currently observed,
given that the null hypothesis is true.

2. Which statement is NOT true about hypothesis tests?

a. Hypothesis tests are only valid when the sample is representative of the population for the question
of interest.

b. Hypotheses are statements about the population represented by the samples.

c. Conclusions are statements about the population represented by the samples.

d. Hypotheses are statements about the sample (or samples) from the population.

Answer: D. Hypotheses are statements about the sample (or samples) from the population.

3. A house cleaning service claims that it can clean a four-bedroomhouse in less than 2 hours. A sample
of n = 36 houses istaken and the sample mean is found to be 1.97 hours and the sample standard
deviation is found to be 0.1 hours. Using a 0.05 level of significance the correct conclusion is:

a) reject the null because the test statistic (-1.8) is < the critical value (-1.64).

b) do not reject the null because the test statistic (-1.8) is < the critical value (-1.64).

c) reject the null because the test statistic (-1.8) is > the critical value (-1.96).

d) do not reject the null because the test statistic (-1.8) is >the critical value (-1.96).

Answer: A. reject the null because the test statistic (-1.8) is < the critical value (-1.64).

4. Through extensive data collection, quality control experts have verified that the true mean weight of a
wrapped Max candy is 5.1 grams, as advertised on the package. However, in a class activity where you
selected and weighed 8 wrapped Max candies you obtained a p-value of 0.003 and concluded that the
true mean weight of Max candies is not as advertised.

What type of error was potentially made in this hypothesis test?

a. Neither a Type I nor a type II error

b. A Type I error

c. Both a Type I and a Type II error

d. A Type II error

Answer: B. Type I error

5. Blockberry creative, an entertainment company claims that the variance for the time its idol group's
fan light will light up is 5 hours. A curious fan of the idol group wants to test this claim. She randomly
selects 23 customers and finds that the variance of the sample is 4.5 seconds. At α = 0.05, does she have
enough evidence to reject the company's claim?

a. At α = 0.05, there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the variance for the time its idol
group's fan light will light up is 5 hours.

b. At α = 0.05, there is not enough evidence to say that the variance for the time its idol group's fan light
will light up is 5 hours.

c. At α = 0.05, there is enough evidence to say that the variance for the time its idol group's fan light will
light up is 5 hours.

d. At α = 0.05, there is enough evidence to reject the claim that the variance for the time its idol group's
fan light will light up is 5 hours.

Answer: A. At α = 0.05, there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the variance for the time
its idol group's fan light will light up is 5 hours.
6. A hypothesis test is done in which the alternative hypothesis is that more than 10% of a population is
left-handed. The p-value for the test is calculated to be 0.25. Which statement is correct?

a. We cannot conclude that more than 10% of the population is left-handed.

b. we can conclude that more than 25% of the population is left-handed.

c. We can conclude that more than 10% of the population is left-handed.

d. we can conclude that exactly 25% of the population is left-handed.

Answer: A. We cannot conclude that more than 10% of the population is left-handed.

7. True of False.

- The p-value is the probability of rejecting your null hypothesis.

TRUE

FALSE

Answer: FALSE, because a p-value is the probability that the null hypothesis is true.

8. A sample of 25 observations is randomly selected from a population that is normally distributed in

order to test the hypotheses H0: u = 8 versus Ha: u ≠ 8. If the resulting p-value is 0.2714, which of the
following must be true?

a. The null hypothesis should be rejected at the 5% significance level.

b. the null hypothesis should be rejected at the 10% significance level.

c. the null hypothesis should not be rejected at the 10% level.

d. It is not appropriate to use these sample results to perform a t-test because the sample size is too
small.

Answer: C. The null hypothesis should not be rejected at the 10% level.
