Week 7 Assignment Hypothesis Test for the Mean-Populations Standard Deviation Known
Question
Jamie, a bowler, claims that her bowling score is less than 168 points, on average. Several of her teammates do not believe her, so she decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 1% significance level, to persuade them. She bowls 17 games. The mean score of the sample games is 155 points. Jamie knows from experience that the standard deviation for her bowling score is 19 points.
H0: μ≥168; Ha: μ<...

Question
A college professor claims that the proportion of students passing a statistics course is 80%. To test this claim, a random sample of 250 students who previously took the course is taken and it is determined that 221 students passed the course.
The following is the setup for this hypothesis test:
H0:p = 0.80
Ha:p ≠ 0.80
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a p...

Question
A teacher claims that the proportion of students expected to pass an exam is greater than 80%. To test this claim, the teacher administers the test to 200 random students and determines that 151 students pass the exam.
The following is the setup for this hypothesis test:
H0:p=0.80
Ha:p>0.80
In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.944.
