The critical z-value(s) of the test statistic is (are):

A) ± 1.96.

B) –1.96.

C) +1.96.

D) ± 2.58.

leiyou

 

The correct answer is A

At α/2 = 0.025, the critical z-values are: ±zα/2 = ±z0.025 = ±1.96.

Which of the following decisions is the CORRECT decision for this study?

A) Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

B) Reject the null hypothesis.

C) The sample size is too small, so increase the sample size.

D) No decision is possible because the sample standard deviation was not given.

leiyou

 

The correct answer is B

Decision rule: reject H0 if zcomputed < –1.96, or zcomputed > +1.96. Since –2.67 < –1.96 , reject H0

6、Austin Roberts wants to test if the mean price of houses in the area is greater than $145,000. A random sample of 36 houses in the area has a mean price of $149,750. The population standard deviation is $24,000, and Roberts wants to conduct hypothesis testing at a 1 percent level of significance.

The appropriate alternative hypothesis is:

A) Ha: μ > $145,000. 

B) Ha: μ &ge $145,000.

C) Ha: μ ± $145,000.

D) Ha: μ < $145,000.
