4.
In a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05, a test statistic of t = 1.813 with d.f. = 15 leads one to reject the null hypothesis of a statistical test.
A) True

Use the following scenario to answer questions 8 to 10.
Dullco Manufacturing claims that its alkaline batteries last forty hours on average in a certain type of portable CD player. Tests on a random sample of 18 batteries showed a mean battery life of 37.8 hours with a standard deviation of 5.4 hours.


8.
The test statistic is
A) -1.980
B) -1.728
C) -2.101
D) -1.960



9.
In determining the p-value for reporting the study's findings, which of the following is true?
A) The p-value is less than .05.
B) The p-value is equal to .05.
C) The p-value is greater than .05.
D) The p-value cannot be determined without specifying α.



10.
In a left-tailed test at α = .05 we would
A) comfortably reject the claim.
B) comfortably accept the claim.
C) feel uncomfortable with either decision (too close).
D) switch to alpha of 0.01 for a more powerful test.

Use the following scenario to answer questions 11 to 13.

A TV special said there is a 10 per cent incidence of sexually transmitted disease (STD) among all U.S. teens. A reporter for the Rockville Bugle, looking for a story, surveyed 260 randomly chosen teenagers, and found that 39 had been to a clinic for STD treatment. Use a right-tail test at α = .05.


11.
The test statistic is
A) 2.687
B) 2.758
C) .0256
D) 2.258



12.
The critical value is
A) 1.645
B) 1.658
C) 1.697
D) 1.960



13.
The p-value is
A) .0501
B) .0314
C) 2.258
D) .0036



14.
Which of the following statements is correct?
A) For a given level of significance, the critical value of Student's t increases as n increases.
B) A test statistic of t = 2.131 with d.f. = 15 leads to a clear-cut decision in a two-tailed test where α = .05.
C) It is harder to reject the null hypothesis when conducting a two-tailed test rather than a one-tailed test.
D) If we desire α = 0.10 then a p-value of 0.13 would lead us to reject the null hypothesis.



15.
John rejected a null hypothesis in a right-tailed test for a mean at α = .025 because his critical t value was 2.000 and his calculated t value was 2.345. We can be sure that
A) John did not commit Type I error.
B) John did not commit Type II error.
C) John committed neither Type I nor Type II error.
D) none of the above can definitely be concluded.

If we did your homework for you, how would that help you to learn anything? If you post what you think are the answers first and why you think those are the correct answers, we can then discuss with you why answers may be correct or incorrect.
