H1 : μ > 15
H0 : μ = 15
H1 : μ ≠ 15
H0 : μ = 15
H1 : μ < 15
Ques"on 2 point

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.
Ques"on 5 point
State your conclusion to the hypothesis test.
Is achieving a basic skill level in a subject independent to the loca"on of the school? A

achieving basic skills in three subjects is shown in the table.
Subject
Loca"on of School Reading Math Science
Urban 43 42 38
Suburban 63 66 65
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.
