MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam
Question 1
1/1 points
A fitness center claims that the mean amount of time that a person spends at the gym per visit is
33
... [Show More] minutes. Identify the null hypothesis, H0, and the alternative hypothesis, Ha, in terms of the
parameter μ.
That is correct!
H0: μ≠33; Ha: μ=33
H0: μ=33; Ha: μ≠33
H0: μ≥33; Ha: μ<33
H0: μ≤33; Ha: μ>33
Answer Explanation
Correct answer:
H0: μ=33; Ha: μ≠33
Let the parameter μ be used to represent the mean. The null hypothesis is always stated with
some form of equality: equal (=), greater than or equal to (≥), or less than or equal to (≤).
Therefore, in this case, the null hypothesis H0 is μ=33. The alternative hypothesis is
contradictory to the null hypothesis, so Ha is μ≠33.
Question 2
1/1 points
The answer choices below represent different hypothesis tests. Which of the choices are righttailed tests? Select all correct answers.
That is correct!
H0:X≥17.1, Ha:X<17.1
H0:X=14.4, Ha:X≠14.4
H0:X≤3.8, Ha:X>3.8
H0:X≤7.4, Ha:X>7.4
H0:X=3.3, Ha:X≠3.3
Answer Explanation
Correct answer:
H0:X≤3.8, Ha:X>3.8
H0:X≤7.4, Ha:X>7.4
Remember the forms of the hypothesis tests.
Right-tailed: H0:X≤X0, Ha:X>X0.
Left-tailed: H0:X≥X0, Ha:X7.4
H0:X≤3.8, Ha:X>3.8
Question 3
1/1 points
Find the Type II error given that the null hypothesis, H0, is: a building inspector claims that no
more than 15% of structures in the county were built without permits.
That is correct!
The building inspector thinks that no more than 15% of the structures in the county were built
without permits when, in fact, no more than 15% of the structures really were built without
permits.
The building inspector thinks that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built
without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures really were built without permits.
The building inspector thinks that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built
without permits when, in fact, at most 15% of the structures were built without permits.
The building inspector thinks that no more than 15% of the structures in the county were built
without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
