State the null and alterna"ve hypotheses you would use to test the following
situa"on.

reliever is 15 minutes. A new ingredient is added to help speed up pain relief and an
experiment is conducted to test whether the new product does indeed speed up pain
relief.
What are the appropriate null and alterna"ve hypotheses for the experiment?
H0 : μ = 15
H1 : μ > 15
H0 : μ = 15
H1 : μ ≠ 15
H0 : μ = 15
H1 : μ < 15

A metropolitan city is trying to bring its smog level into federal guidelines and currently
has 12% pollutants per 10,000 volume of air. The city comes up with a new policy
where city employees are encouraged to use city transporta"on to and from work. An
independent agency, hired by the city, runs a test on the air in order to determine if
the new policy has had the desired effect.
The hypotheses are:
H0 : p = 0. 12
H1 : p < 0. 12
Explain the meaning of a Type I error.
Concluding that the smog-level has decreased when it actually has not.
Not concluding that the smog-level has increased when it actually has.
Concluding that the smog-level has increased when it actually has not.
Not concluding that the smog-level has decreased when it actually has.

achieving basic skills in three subjects is shown in the table.
Subject
Loca"on of School Reading Math Science

Conduct a chi-square test of independence at the 1% significance level to test whether
the two variables are independent and state your conclusion.
Hint: the test sta"s"c is: χ 2 = 0. 30
There is sufficient sample evidence to suggest that skill level in a subject is
dependent of loca"on.
There is sufficient sample evidence to suggest that skill level in a subject is
independent of loca"on.
There is not sufficient sample evidence to suggest that skill level in a subject is
dependent of loca"on.
There is not sufficient sample evidence to suggest that skill level in a subject is
independent of loca"on.
Cannot be determined.
