STT 315 Lecture 3 04/17/2014 Quiz 7 (Chapter 7) Name__________________________________ Signature_________________________ Section #_______________ Directions: The quiz contains 16 multiple choice questions. Each question will be worth 1 point so that total points for this quiz is 16. There is only one correct answer per question. If you would like to get partial credit, show your work below the question where it is appropriate. The formulas which may be needed for the quiz are given below. 1) A small private college is interested in determining the percentage of its students who live off campus and drive to class. Specifically, it was desired to determine if less than 20% of their current students live off campus and drive to class. Suppose a sample of 108 students produced a test statistic of z = -1.35. Find the p-value for the test of interest to the college. A) p = 0.4115 B) p = 0.9115 C) p = 0.1770 D) p = 0.0885 1) Work: 2) I want to test H0 : p = .7 vs. Ha : p ≠ .7 using a test of hypothesis. This test would be called a(n) ____________ test. A) two-tailed B) upper-tailed C) lower-tailed 2) D) one-tailed 3) Consider a test of H0 : μ = 9. For the following case, give the rejection region for the test in terms of 3) the z-statistic: Ha : μ < 9, α = 0.01 A) z > -2.33 B) z < 2.575 C) z < -2.575 D) z < -2.33 4) A consumer product magazine recently ran a story concerning the increasing prices of digital cameras. The story stated that digital camera prices dipped a couple of years ago, but now are beginning to increase in price because of added features. According to the story, the average price of all digital cameras a couple of years ago was $215.00. A random sample of n = 22 cameras was recently taken and entered into a spreadsheet. It was desired to test to determine if that average price of all digital cameras is now more than $215.00. Find a rejection region appropriate for this test if we are using α = 0.05. A) Reject H0 if t > 2.080 or t < -2.080 B) Reject H0 if t > 1.717 C) Reject H0 if t > 1.725 4) D) Reject H0 if t > 1.721 5) A company claims that 9 out of 10 doctors (i.e., 90%) recommend its brand of cough syrup to their patients. To test this claim against the alternative that the actual proportion is less than 90%, a random sample of doctors was taken. Suppose the test statistic is z = -2.23. Can we conclude that H0 should be rejected at the a) α = .10, b) α = .05, and c) α = .01 level? A) a) yes; b) yes; c) no C) a) no; b) no; c) no B) a) no; b) no; c) yes D) a) yes; b) yes; c) yes Work: 1 5) 6) A local eat-in pizza restaurant wants to investigate the possibility of starting to deliver pizzas. The owner of the store has determined that home delivery will be successful only if the average time spent on a delivery does not exceed 36 minutes. The owner has randomly selected 21 customers and delivered pizzas to their homes in order to test whether the mean delivery time actually exceeds 36 minutes. What assumption is necessary for this test to be valid? A) The population variance must equal the population mean. B) The population of delivery times must have a normal distribution. C) None. The Central Limit Theorem makes any assumptions unnecessary. D) The sample mean delivery time must equal the population mean delivery time. 6) 7) The owner of Get-A-Away Travel has recently surveyed a random sample of 183 customers to determine whether the mean age of the agency's customers is over 32. The appropriate hypotheses are H0 : μ = 32, Ha : μ > 32. If he concludes the mean age is over 32 when it is not, he makes a 7) __________ error. If he concludes the mean age is not over 32 when it is, he makes a __________ error. A) Type I; Type II B) Type II; Type I C) Type I; Type I D) Type II; Type II 8) A bottling company produces bottles that hold 12 ounces of liquid. Periodically, the company gets complaints that their bottles are not holding enough liquid. To test this claim, the bottling company randomly samples 25 bottles and finds the average amount of liquid held by the bottles is 11.8 ounces with a standard deviation of .4 ounce. Which of the following is the set of hypotheses the company wishes to test? A) H0 : μ < 12 vs. Ha : μ = 12 B) H0 : μ = 12 vs. Ha : μ > 12 C) H0 : μ = 12 vs. Ha : μ ≠ 12 8) D) H0 : μ = 12 vs. Ha : μ < 12 9) The business college computing center wants to determine the proportion of business students who have laptop computers. If the proportion differs from 25%, then the lab will modify a proposed enlargement of its facilities. Suppose a hypothesis test is conducted and the test statistic is 2.4. Find the p-value for a two-tailed test of hypothesis. A) .4918 B) .0082 C) .0164 D) .4836 9) Work: 10) A company claims that 9 out of 10 doctors (i.e., 90%) recommend its brand of cough syrup to their patients. To test this claim against the alternative that the actual proportion is less than 90%, a random sample of 100 doctors was chosen which resulted in 94 who indicate that they recommend this cough syrup. The test statistic in this problem is approximately: A) 1.33 B) 1.83 C) -1.33 D) 1.67 10) Work: 11) A bottling company produces bottles that hold 12 ounces of liquid. Periodically, the company gets complaints that their bottles are not holding enough liquid. To test this claim, the bottling company randomly samples 64 bottles and finds the average amount of liquid held by the bottles is 11.9155 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.40 ounce.
