strong evidence that the gambler’s claim is true? a. Specify the null and alternative hypothesis for this problem. p = probability gambler guess correctly for an individual roll null (Ho): p = 1/6 alternative (Ha): p > 1/6 b. Find the test statistic and calculate the p-value. What do you conclude? pˆ = 0.2 so z = (0.2-0.1667)/ .1667(.8333) /100 = 0.894. From the table the p-value is between 18% and 19%. The null hypothesis is a reasonable explanation of this data so we do not have strong evidence

TEST REVIEW – We will work these problems in class. Data Files for these problems will be disclosed in class during the review. On TEST 3‚ you will be asked to perform hypothesis tests‚ find confidence intervals‚ and conduct regression analyses. Be prepared to also interpret information on any Excel print-outs. Test 3 will be a multiple-choice test. 1. A federal agency responsible for enforcing laws governing weights and measures n=1 routinely inspects packages to determine whether the

I read Barron’s How to Prepare for the AP Statistics Exam. A very educational book helped a lot on the AP test. It clarified ideas that I was uncertain on. It helped me to understand when to use each test and the assumptions needed for each test. Type I and Type II errors were explained in such a way that they became crystal clear to me instead of muddy. Computer and Minitab outputs were thoroughly explained‚ and I became comfortable with them after reading this book. The Barron’s guide also

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance (Gravetter & Wallnau‚ 2013). It uses the mean of the distribution as a reference point and measures variability by considering the distance of each score from the mean. It is important to know the standard deviation for a given sample because it gives a measure of the standard‚ or average‚ range from the mean‚ and specifies if the scores are grouped closely around the mean or are widely scattered (Gravetter & Wallnau‚ 2013). The standard deviation

Question 1: State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis ONLY i) One of the major Malaysia tire makers wishes to review its warranty for their rainmaker tire. The warranty is for 40‚000 kilometers. The tire company believes that the tire actually lasts more than 40‚000 kilometers. A sample 49 tires revealed that the mean number of kilometers is 45‚000 kilometers with a standard deviation of 15‚000 kilometers. What is the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis? ii) It is claimed

Descriptive & Inferential Statistics The study of statistics plays a significant role in each of our lives. Statistics is a method often used in every scientific field to relay important information found‚ support new theories as they are developed and keep our society aware and up to date with the issues that affect us and what type of effect they have. From a psychological standpoint statistics provides each individual with the tools necessary to understand the work of psychologists before
