MATH 225N FINAL EXAM 2 – QUESTION AND ANSWERS
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

The answer choices below represent different hypothesis tests. Which of the choices are right-tailed tests? Select all correct answers.
That is correct!
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 Remember the forms of the hypothesis tests.
Right-tailed: H0:X≤X0, Ha:X>X0.
Left-tailed: H0:X≥X0, Ha:X<X0.
Two-tailed: H0:X=X0, Ha:X≠X0.
So in this case, the right-tailed tests are:
H0:X≤7.4, Ha:X>7.4
H0:X≤3.8, Ha:X>3.8
QUESTION 3

Find the Type II error given that the null hypothesis, H0, is: a building inspector claims that no more than 15% of structures in the county were built without permits.
That's not right.
The building inspector thinks that no more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, no more than 15% of the structures really were built without permits.
The building inspector thinks that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures really were built without permits.
The building inspector thinks that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, at most 15% of the structures were built without permits.
The building inspector thinks that no more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
Answer Explanation
Correct answer: The building inspector thinks that no more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
A Type II error is the decision not to reject the null hypothesis when, in fact, it is false. In
this case, the Type II error is when the building inspector thinks that no more than 15% of the structures were built without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
Your answer:
The building inspector thinks that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, at most 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 0.5 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 = −2.24
Answer Explanation
Correct answers:
$\text{Test statistic = }-2.24$ Test statistic = −2.24
