A 95% confidence interval will be calculated as well. A hypothesis test will be done to verify if the claim is true and also a conclusion will be made. To see if what the customers are saying is true about the ounces in the bottles are actually less than what is advertised the first thing that needs

months that has positive investment returns on AT&T are equal to months of negative returns. Therefore he sets a hypothesis; the null hypothesis H0 :ppositive = pnegative = 0.5 versus the alternative hypothesis Ha: not H0. The number of months that has the positive returns on AT&T is 32‚ and the number of months that has the negative returns is 22. In order to test the hypothesis‚ he should do chi-square test. First of all he calculates the expected value that has the positive and negative returns

1. Write a null and an alternative hypothesis for each of the following. Be sure to state each hypothesis in the context of the problem. A. A forestry textbook claims that the mean age of pine trees in Colorado is 30 years. You think the age is greater than that. (2 points) ans: Ho = mean = 30 the mean age of the pine trees is 30 years for Ho Ha : mean > 30 the mean age of pine trees is more than 30 years B.

objectives were to apply the steps in testing a research hypothesis‚ to compare the means of two or more groups‚ and to calculate the correlation between two variables. Learning Team D’s members have reflected on each of these issues and share their insights on these objectives. Testing a Research Hypothesis The purpose of testing a research hypothesis is to prove or disprove the research question. The first step in testing a research hypothesis is to state the problem in the form of a question. The
