1. It is believed that nearsightedness affects about 8% of allchildren. In a random sample of 194 children, 21 arenearsighted.
(a) Construct hypotheses appropriate for the following question: dothese data provide evidence that the 8% value is inaccurate?
- Ho: p = .08
Ha: p ≠.08 - Ho: p = .08
Ha: p < .08 - Ho: p = .08
Ha: p > .08
(b) What proportion of children in this sample arenearsighted?
(round to four decimal places)
(c) Given that the standard error of the sample proportion is0.0195 and the point estimate follows a nearly normal distribution,calculate the test statistic (use the Z-statistic).
Z =Â Â (please round to two decimal places)
(d) What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?
p =Â Â (please round to four decimal places)
(e) What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test?
- Since p ≥ α we do not have enough evidence to reject the nullhypothesis
- Since p<α we reject the null hypothesis and accept thealternative
- Since p<α we fail to reject the null hypothesis
- Since p ≥ α we accept the null hypothesis
2. Test the claim that the mean GPA of night students is largerthan 2.7 at the 0.005 significance level.
(1)The null and alternative hypothesis would be:
a) H0:p≥0.675
H1:p<0.675 Â Â
b) H0:p=0.675
H1:p≠0.675
c) H0:μ≤2.7  Â
H1:μ>2.7
d) H0:p≤0.675  Â
H1:p>0.675 Â Â
e) H0:μ=2.7
H1:μ≠2.7
f) H0:μ≥2.7
H1:μ<2.7
(2) The test is:
-two-tailed
-left-tailed
-right-tailed
(3) Based on a sample of 35 people, the sample mean GPA was 2.73with a standard deviation of 0.04
The p-value is: ____ (to 2 decimals)
Based on this we:
- Reject the null hypothesis
- Fail to reject the null hypothesis
