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. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) That is correct! MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) structures were built without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures were built without permits. • • • Question 4 1/1 points Suppose a chef claims that her meatball weight is less than 4 ounces, on average. Several of her customers do not believe her, so the chef decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 10% significance level, to persuade them. She cooks 14 meatballs. The mean weight of the sample meatballs is 3.7 ounces. The chef knows from experience that the standard deviation for her meatball weight is ounces. • H0: μ≥4; Ha: μ<4 • α=0.1 (significance level) What is the test statistic (z-score) of this one-mean hypothesis test, rounded to two decimal places? That is correct! Test statistic = minus 2 point 2 4$$ Test statistic = minus 2 point 2 4 - correct Answer Explanation Correct answers: • Test statistic = minus 2 point 2 4 $\text{Test statistic = }-2.24$ • MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) The hypotheses were chosen, and the significance level was decided on, so the next step in hypothesis testing is to compute the test statistic. In this scenario, the sample mean weight, x¯=3.7. The sample the chef uses is 14 meatballs, so n=14. She knows the standard deviation of the meatballs, σ=0.5. Lastly, the chef is comparing the population mean weight to 4 ounces. So, this value (found in the null and alternative hypotheses) is μ0. Now we will substitute the values into the formula to compute the test statistic: z0=x¯−μ0σn√=3.7−40.514√≈−0.30.134≈−2.24 So, the test statistic for this hypothesis test is z0=−2.24. • • • • Question 5 1/1 points What is the p-value of a right-tailed one-mean hypothesis test, with a test statistic of z0=1.74? (Do not round your answer; compute your answer using a value from the table below.) z1.51.61.71.81.90.000.9330.9450.9550.9640.9710.010.9340.9460.9560.9650.9720.020.9360.947 0.9570.9660.9730.030.9370.9480.9580.9660.9730.040.9380.9490.9590.9670.9740.050.9390.951 0.9600.9680.9740.060.9410.9520.9610.9690.9750.070.9420.9530.9620.9690.9760.080.9430.954 0.9620.9700.9760.090.9440.9540.9630.9710.977 That is correct! 0 point 0 4 1$$ 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 0.0 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) A researcher claims that the proportion of cars with manual transmission is less than 10%.

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.

That is correct! H0:p=0.6; Ha:p>0.6, which is a right-tailed test. H0:p=0.5; Ha:p<0.5, which is a left-tailed test. H0:p=0.6; Ha:p≠0.6, which is a two-tailed test. H0:p=0.5; Ha:p≠0.5, which is a two-tailed test. Answer Explanation Correct answer: H0:p=0.5; Ha:p≠0.5, which is a two-tailed test. The null hypothesis should be true proportion: H0:p=0.5. Becky wants to know if the true proportion of heads is different from 0.5. This means that we just want to test if the proportion is not 0.5. So, the alternative hypothesis is Ha:p≠0.5, which is a two-tailed test. QUESTION 12 1/1 POINTS John owns a computer repair service. For each computer, he charges $50 plus $45 per hour of work. A linear equation that expresses the total amount of money John earns per computer 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.

According to the information above, which of the following is an appropriate analysis of square footage and TVs? A line graph has an x-axis labeled Square Footage (in hundreds of feet) in increments of one, and a y-axis labeled Number of TV's in increments of one. Beginning at the point start parentheses 6,2 end parentheses, a line increases to the point start parentheses 8.5,3 end parentheses. The line remains constant to the point start parentheses 10,3 end parentheses. The line then increases, passing through the point start parentheses 12,5 end parentheses and continues increasing until it reaches the point start parentheses 16,6 end parentheses. MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) That's not right. 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.

A MATH 225N Week 8 Final Exam (Version 1 & 2) B Remember that the standard deviation tells how spread out the normal distribution is. So a high standard deviation means the graph will be short and spread out. A low standard deviation means the graph will be tall and skinny. The distribution that is the tallest and least spread out is B, so that has the smallest standard deviation. QUESTION 33 1/1 POINTS Brayden tosses a coin 500 times. Of those 500 times, he observes heads a total of 416 times. Calculations show that the probability of this occurring by chance is less than 0.01, assuming the coin is fair. Determine the meaning of the significance level. That is correct! We expect that 416 of every 500 coin tosses will result in heads. At the 0.01 level of significance, the coin is likely not a fair coin. There is certainty that the coin is not a fair coin. The results are not statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance. Answer Explanation 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.

If we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 2 inches of the true population mean, what is the minimum sample size that can be taken? z0.101.282z0.051.645z0.0251.960z0.012.326z0.0052.576 Use the table above for the z-score, and be sure to round up to the nearest integer. That is correct! $$14 dog heights Answer Explanation Correct answers: • $14\text{ dog heights}$14 dog heights The formula for sample size is n=z2σ2EBM2. In this formula, z=zα2=z0.025=1.96, because the confidence level is 95%. From the problem, we know that σ=3.7 and EBM=2. Therefore, n=z2σ2EBM2=(1.96)2(3.7)222≈13.15. Use n=14 to ensure that the sample size is large enough. Also, the sample size formula shown above is sometimes written using an alternate format of n=(zσE)2. In this formula, E is used to denote margin of error and the entire parentheses is raised to the exponent 2. Therefore, the margin of error for the mean can be denoted by "EBM" or by "E". Either formula for the sample size can be used and these formulas are considered as equivalent. QUESTION 40 0/1 POINTS Which of the following frequency tables show a skewed data set?

Suppose Hugo's words per minute on a typing test are normally distributed. Let X= the number of words per minute on a typing test. Then, X∼N(62,8). Suppose Hugo types 56 words per minute in a typing test on Wednesday. The z-score when x=56 is . This z-score tells you that x=56 is standard deviations to the (right/left) of the mean, . Correctly fill in the blanks in the statement above. That is correct! 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 right of the mean, 62. 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. Suppose Hugo types 56 words per minute in a typing test on Wednesday. The z-score when x=56 is 0.545. This z-score tells you that x=56 is 0.545 standard deviations to the right of the mean, 62. Suppose Hugo types 56 words per minute in a typing test on Wednesday. The z-score when x=56 is −0.545. This z-score tells you that x=56 is 0.545 standard deviations to the left of the mean, 62. 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 $_20$_. $_\color{blue}{1}$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_1$_, $_\color{blue}{2}$_, $_2$_, $_3$_, $_4$_, $_8$_, $_9$_, $_10$_, $_\color{blue}{16}$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_16$_, $_20$_, $_\color{blue}{20}$_, $_20$_, $_21$_, $_23$_, $_24$_, $_25$_,
