The business college computing center wants to determine the proportion of business students who have personal computers (PCʹs) at home. If the proportion exceeds 25%, then the lab will scale back a proposed enlargement of its facilities. Suppose 200 business students were randomly sampled and 65 have PCʹs at home. Find the rejection region for this test using α = 0.01. (Note that this is a right-tailed test).
A) Reject H0 if 0 z > 2.33.
B) Reject H0 if 0 z < -2.33.
C) Reject H0 if 0 z > 2.575 or z < -2.575.
D) Reject H0 if 0 z = 2.
Find the test statistic, 0 t , to test the claim about the population mean μ < 6.7 given n = 20, x = 6.3, s = 2.0.
A) -1.233
B) -0.872
C) -1.265
D) -0.894
Determine the test statistic, 0 z , to test the claim about the population proportion p < 0.85 given n = 60 and x = 39.
A) -4.34
B) -1.96
C) -1.85
D) -1.76

Answer:

Question  5

    correct option is  A

Question 6

    correct option is  D

Question 7  

      correct option is  A  

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering question 5

From the question we are told that

     The population proportion considered is  [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]

      The sample size is  n  =  200

      The number that had a personal computer at home is  [tex]k = 65[/tex]

      The  level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.25[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p > 0.25[/tex]

Generally from the z-table the critical value of  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]  to the right of the curve is

          [tex]z_{\alpha } = 2.33[/tex]

Generally given that it is a right-tailed test , the rejection region is  

      z > 2.33

Considering question 6

  The sample size is  n = 20

  The standard deviation is  [tex]s = 2[/tex]

   The sample mean is  [tex]\=x = 6.3[/tex]

   The  population mean   [tex]\mu = 6.7[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

          [tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>       [tex]t = \frac{ 6.3 - 6.7 }{ \frac{ 2}{ \sqrt{20} } }[/tex]

=>       [tex]t = -0.894[/tex]

Considering question 7

  The sample size is  n = 60

   The sample mean is  [tex]x = 39[/tex]

   The  population proportion    [tex]p = 0.85[/tex]

Gnerally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as  

           [tex]\^ p = \frac{x}{n}[/tex]

=>       [tex]\^ p = \frac{39}{60}[/tex]  

=>       [tex]\^ p = 0.65[/tex]

Generally the standard error of this distribution is mathematically represented as

     [tex]SE = \sqrt{ \frac{ p(1 - p ) }{ n } }[/tex]

=> [tex]SE = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.85 (1 - 0.85 ) }{ 60 } }[/tex]

=> [tex]SE = 0.0461[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

          [tex]z = \frac{ \^ p - p }{SE}[/tex]

=>       [tex]z = \frac{ 0.65 - 0.85 }{0.0461}[/tex]

=>       [tex]z = -4.34[/tex]
