MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) 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 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 right- tailed tests? Select all correct answers. That is correct! MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) • 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 MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) The hypotheses were chosen, and the significance level was decided on, so the next step in hypothesis testing is to compute the test statistic. In this scenario, the sample mean weight, x¯=3.7. The sample the chef uses is 14 meatballs, so n=14. She knows the standard deviation of the meatballs, σ=0.5. Lastly, the chef is comparing the population mean weight to 4 ounces. So, this value (found in the null and alternative hypotheses) is μ0. Now we will substitute the values into the formula to compute the test statistic: z0=x¯−μ0σn√=3.7−40.514√≈−0.30.134≈−2.24 So, the test statistic for this hypothesis test is z0=−2.24. • • • • Question 5 1/1 points What is the p-value of a right-tailed one-mean hypothesis test, with a test statistic of z0=1.74? (Do not round your answer; compute your answer using a value from the table below.) z1.51.61.71.81.90.000.9330.9450.9550.9640.9710.010.9340.9460.9560.9650.9720.020.9360.947 0.9570.9660.9730.030.9370.9480.9580.9660.9730.040.9380.9490.9590.9670.9740.050.9390.951 0.9600.9680.9740.060.9410.9520.9610.9690.9750.070.9420.9530.9620.9690.9760.080.9430.954 0.9620.9700.9760.090.9440.9540.9630.9710.977 That is correct! 0 point 0 4 1$$ 0 point 0 4 1 - correct Answer Explanation Correct answers: • 0 point 0 4 1 $0.041$ • The p-value is the probability of an observed value of z=1.74 or greater if the null hypothesis is true, because this hypothesis test is right-tailed. This probability is equal to the area under the Standard Normal curve to the right of z=1.74. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) A standard normal curve with two points labeled on the horizontal axis. The mean is labeled at 0.00 and an observed value of 1.74 is labeled. The area under the curve and to the right of the observed value is shaded. Using the Standard Normal Table, we can see that the p-value is equal to 0.959, which is the area to the left of z=1.74. (Standard Normal Tables give areas to the left.) So, the p-value we're looking for is p=1−0.959=0.041. Question 6 1/1 points Kenneth, a competitor in cup stacking, claims that his average stacking time is 8.2 seconds. During a practice session, Kenneth has a sample stacking time mean of 7.8 seconds based on 11 trials. At the 4% significance level, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that Kenneth's mean stacking time is less than 8.2 seconds? Accept or reject the hypothesis given the sample data below. • H0:μ=8.2 seconds; Ha:μ<8.2 seconds • α=0.04 (significance level) • z0=−1.75 • p=0.0401 That is correct! MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04. Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04. Reject the null hypothesis because the value of z is negative. Reject the null hypothesis because |−1.75|>0.04. Do not reject the null hypothesis because |−1.75|>0.04. Answer Explanation Correct answer: Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04. In making the decision to reject or not reject H0, if α>p-value, reject H0 because the results of the sample data are significant. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that H0 is an incorrect belief and that the alternative hypothesis, Ha, may be correct. If α≤p-value, do not reject H0. The results of the sample data are not significant, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the alternative hypothesis, Ha, may be correct. In this case, α=0.04 is less than or equal to p=0.0401, so the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis. • • • QUESTION 7 1/1 POINTS A recent study suggested that 81% of senior citizens take at least one prescription medication. Amelia is a nurse at a large hospital who would like to know whether the percentage is the same for senior citizen patients who go to her hospital. She randomly selects 59 senior citizens patients who were treated at the hospital and finds that 49 of them take at least one prescription medication. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? That is correct! MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) Ha:p ≠ 0.12 Find the p-value for this hypothesis test for a proportion and round your answer to 3 decimal places. The following table can be utilized which provides areas under the Standard Normal Curve: That is correct! $$P-value=0.124 Answer Explanation Correct answers: • $\text{P-value=}0.124$P-value=0.124 Here are the steps needed to calculate the p-value for a hypothesis test for a proportion: 0.00 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 0.08 0.09 1.8 0.036 0.035 0.034 0.034 0.033 0.032 0.031 0.031 0.030 0.029 1.7 0.045 0.044 0.043 0.042 0.041 0.040 0.039 0.038 0.038 0.037 1.6 0.055 0.054 0.053 0.052 0.051 0.049 0.048 0.047 0.046 0.046 1.5 0.067 0.066 0.064 0.063 0.062 0.061 0.059 0.058 0.057 0.056 1.4 0.081 0.079 0.078 0.076 0.075 0.074 0.072 0.071 0.069 0.068 MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) 1. Determine if the hypothesis test is left tailed, right tailed, or two tailed. 2. Compute the value of the test statistic. 3. If the hypothesis test is left tailed, the p-value will be the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the test statistic z0 If the test is right tailed, the p-value will be the area under the standard normal curve to the right of the test statistic z0 If the test is two tailed, the p-value will be the area to the left of −|z0| plus the area to the right of |z0| under the standard normal curve For this example, the test is a two tailed test and the test statistic, rounding to two decimal places, is z=0.1033−0.120.12(1−0.12)900−−−−−−−−−−−−√≈−1.54. Thus the p-value is the area under the Standard Normal curve to the left of a z-score of -1.54, plus the area under the Standard Normal curve to the right of a z-score of 1.54. From a lookup table of the area under the Standard Normal curve, the corresponding area is then 2(0.062) = 0.124.

To test this claim, a random sample of 750 people are asked if they plan to purchase a fully electric vehicle as their next car Of these 750 people, 513 indicate that they do plan to purchase an electric vehicle. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: H0:p=0.65 Ha:p>0.65 In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.026. Come to a conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%.) That is correct! The decision is to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is enough evidence to support the claim. The decision is to fail to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to support the claim. Answer Explanation Correct answer: The decision is to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is enough evidence to support the claim. To come to a conclusion and interpret the results for a hypothesis test for proportion using the P- Value Approach, the first step is to compare the p-value from the sample data with the level of significance. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) is y=50+45x. What are the independent and dependent variables? What is the y-intercept and the slope? That is correct! The independent variable (x) is the amount of time John fixes a computer. The dependent variable (y) is the amount, in dollars, John earns for a computer. John charges a one-time fee of $50 (this is when x=0), so the y-intercept is 50. John earns $45 for each hour he works, so the slope is 45. The independent variable (x) is the amount, in dollars, John earns for a computer. The dependent variable (y) is the amount of time John fixes a computer. John charges a one-time fee of $45 (this is when x=0), so the y-intercept is 45. John earns $50 for each hour he works, so the slope is 50. The independent variable (x) is the amount, in dollars, John earns for a computer. The dependent variable (y) is the amount of time John fixes a computer. John charges a one-time fee of $50 (this is when x=0), so the y-intercept is 50. John earns $45 for each hour he works, so the slope is 45. The independent variable (x) is the amount of time John fixes a computer. The dependent variable (y) is the amount, in dollars, John earns for a computer. John charges a one-time fee of $45 (this is when x=0), so the y-intercept is 45. John earns $50 for each hour he works, so the slope is 50. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) Answer Explanation Correct answer: The independent variable (x) is the amount of time John fixes a computer. The dependent variable (y) is the amount, in dollars, John earns for a computer. John charges a one-time fee of $50 (this is when x=0), so the y-intercept is 50. John earns $45 for each hour he works, so the slope is 45. The independent variable (x) is the amount of time John fixes a computer because it is the value that changes. He may work different amounts per computer, and his earnings are dependent on how many hours he works. This is why the amount, in dollars, John earns for a computer is the dependent variable (y). The y-intercept is 50 (b=50). This is his one-time fee. The slope is 45 (a=45). This is the increase for each hour he works.

All values are approximate. Answer Explanation Correct answer: MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) A scatterplot has a horizontal axis labeled Hours studying from 0 to 6 in increments of 1 and a vertical axis labeled Quiz score from 0 to 10 in increments of 2. The following points are plotted: left-parenthesis 1 comma 5 right-parentheses; left-parenthesis 2 comma 5 right-parentheses; left- parenthesis 3 comma 7 right-parentheses; left-parenthesis 4 comma 9 right-parentheses; left- parenthesis 5 comma 9 right-parentheses. All values are approximate. The values for hours studying correspond to x-values, and the values for quiz score correspond to y-values. Each row of the table of data corresponds to a point (x,y) plotted in the scatter plot. For example, the first row, 1,5, corresponds to the point (1,5). Doing this for every row in the table, we find the scatter plot should have points (1,5), (2,5), (3,7), (4,9), and (5,9). QUESTION 14 1/1 POINTS Data is collected on the relationship between time spent playing video games and time spent with family. The data is shown in the table and the line of best fit for the data is y^=−0.27x+57.5. Assume the line of best fit is significant and there is a strong linear relationship between the variables. Video Games (Minutes) 306090120 Time with Family (Minutes) 50403525 According to the line of best fit, the predicted number of minutes spent with family for someone who spent 95 minutes playing video games is 31.85. Is it reasonable to use this line of best fit to make the above prediction? MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) That is correct! The estimate, a predicted time of 31.85 minutes, is unreliable but reasonable. The estimate, a predicted time of 31.85 minutes, is both unreliable and unreasonable. The estimate, a predicted time of 31.85 minutes, is both reliable and reasonable. The estimate, a predicted time of 31.85 minutes, is reliable but unreasonable. Answer Explanation Correct answer: The estimate, a predicted time of 31.85 minutes, is both reliable and reasonable. The data in the table only includes video game times between 30 and 120 minutes, so the line of best fit gives reasonable predictions for values of x between 30 and 120. Since 95 is between these values, the estimate is both reliable and reasonable.

From the data, the number of TVs doubled from a square footage of 8.5 and 10. From the data, there is a steady decrease in the square footage and number of TVs. From the data, there is a steady increase in the square footage and number of TVs. From the data, when the square footage is between 8.5 and 10, the number of TVs remains the same. Answer Explanation Correct answer: From the data, when the square footage is between 8.5 and 10, the number of TVs remains the same. Given the line graph, at a square footage of 8.5, the number of TVs is 3. At a square footage of 10, the number of TVs is also 3. Therefore, when the square footage is between 8.5 and 10, the number of TVs remains the same. Your answer: From the data, there is a steady increase in the square footage and number of TVs. This response is not correct. While most of the line is increasing, the number of TVs remains the same between a square footage of 8.5 and 10.

The box-and-whisker plot above the class label A has the following five-number summary: 44, 69, 77, 82, and 112. The box-and-whisker plot above the class label B has the following five-number summary: 19, 64, 78, 87, and 121. The box-and-whisker plot above the class label C has the following five-number summary: 60, 72, 75, 80, and 92. The box-and-whisker plot above the class label D has the following five-number summary: 2, 63, 77, 92, and 138. All values are approximate. That is correct! A MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) B C D Answer Explanation Correct answer: C Remember that the standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the data is. If the values are concentrated around the mean, then a data set has a lower standard deviation. A box and whisker plot with short whiskers and a short box has values that are less spread out, and hence has a smaller standard deviation. QUESTION 32 1/1 POINTS The graph below shows the graphs of several normal distributions, labeled A, B, and C, on the same axis. Determine which normal distribution has the smallest standard deviation. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) Correct answer: At the 0.01 level of significance, the coin is likely not a fair coin. The results of the experiment are significant at the 0.01 level of significance. This means the probability that the outcome was the result of chance is 0.01 or less. Because of this, we can be fairly confident, but not certain, that the coin is not a fair coin. QUESTION 34 1/1 POINTS Is the statement below true or false? Independent is the property of two events in which the knowledge that one of the events occurred does not affect the chance the other occurs. That is correct! True False Answer Explanation Correct answer: True Independent is defined as the property of two events in which the knowledge that one of the events occurred does not affect the chance the other occurs. QUESTION 35 1/1 POINTS MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) Of the following pairs of events, which pair has mutually exclusive events? That is correct! rolling a sum greater than 7 from two rolls of a standard die and rolling a 4 for the first throw drawing a 2 and drawing a 4 with replacement from a standard deck of cards rolling a sum of 9 from two rolls of a standard die and rolling a 2 for the first roll drawing a red card and then drawing a black card with replacement from a standard deck of cards Answer Explanation Correct answer: rolling a sum of 9 from two rolls of a standard die and rolling a 2 for the first roll Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur together. In this case, rolling a sum of 9 from two rolls of a standard die and rolling 2 for the first roll are two events that cannot possibly occur together.

Find the Type I error in this scenario. That is correct! MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) Jacob thinks he does not earn enough money to afford the luxury apartment when, in fact, he does. Jacob thinks he does not earn enough money to afford the luxury apartment when, in fact, he does not. Jacob thinks he earns enough money to afford the luxury apartment when, in fact, he does not. Jacob thinks he earns enough money to afford the luxury apartment when, in fact, he does. Answer Explanation Correct answer: Jacob thinks he does not earn enough money to afford the luxury apartment when, in fact, he does. A Type I error is the decision to reject the null hypothesis when it is true. In this case, the Type I error is when Jacob thinks he does not earn enough money when he really does. • • • • Question 48 · 1/1 points Given the plot of normal distributions A and B below, which of the following statements is true? Select all correct answers. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) A normal bell curve labeled Upper A and a normal elongated curve labeled Upper B are centered at the same point. Normal curve Upper B is narrower and above normal curve Upper A. That is correct! • A has the larger mean. • • B has the larger mean. • • The means of A and B are equal. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) Answer Explanation Correct answer: Suppose Hugo types 56 words per minute in a typing test on Wednesday. The z-score when x=56 is −0.75. This z-score tells you that x=56 is 0.75 standard deviations to the left of the mean, 62. The z-score can be found using the formula z=x−μσ=56−628=−68≈−0.75 A negative value of z means that that the value is below (or to the left of) the mean, which was given in the problem as μ=62 words per minute in a typing test. The z-score tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. So, typing 56 words per minute is 0.75 standard deviations away from the mean. • • • • Question 50 · 1/1 points The following frequency table summarizes a set of data.

If we add up the frequencies in the table, we see that there are $_27$_ total values in the data set. Therefore, the median value is the one where there are $_13$_ values below it and $_13$_ values above it. By adding up frequencies, we see that this happens at the value $_16$_, so that is the median. Now, looking at the lower half of the data, there are $_13$_ values there, and so the median value of that half of the data is $_2$_. This is the first quartile. Similarly, the third quartile is the median of the upper half of the data, which is $_20$_. $_\color{blue}{1}$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_\color{blue}{2}$_, $_2$_, $_3$_, $_4$_, $_8$_, $_9$_, $_10$_, $_\color{blue}{16}$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_20$_, $_\color{blue}{20}$_, $_20$_, $_21$_, $_23$_, $_24$_, $_25$_, MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) $_\color{blue}{27}$_ So, the five-number summary is Min Q1 Median Q3 Max $_1$_ $_2$_ $_16$_ $_20$_ $_27$_
