The manager of a high school cafeteria is planning to offer several new types of food for student lunches in the following school year.  She wants to know if each type of food will be equally popular so she can start ordering supplies.  To find out, she selects a random sample of 100 students and asks them, "Which type of food do you prefer: Asian food, Mexican food, pizza, or hamburgers?"  Here are the data in the table provided.  Identify the p-value and decide which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?

• Because 0.0129 is less than α = 0.05, fail to reject H₀.  There is convincing evidence that the food choices are equally popular.
• Because 0.0129 is less than α = 0.05, reject H₀.  There is convincing evidence that the food choices are not equally popular.
• Because 0.0289 is less than α = 0.05, reject H₀.  There is convincing evidence that the food choices are not equally popular.
• Because 0.0289 is less than α = 0.05, fail to reject H₀.  There is not convincing evidence that the food choices are equally popular.

Using a computer program, the chi-square test statistic for the commuter data is c2 = 5.37 with P-value < 0.01.  If we use a = 0.05, what conclusion is appropriate?

• a)Don’t reject H₀; the results are significant.
• b)Don’t reject H₀; the results are not significant.
• c)Reject H_0; the results are significant.

In their advertisements, a new diet program would like to claim that their methods result in a mean weight loss of more than ten pounds in two weeks. In order to determine if this is a valid claim, they hire an independent testing agency that then selects twenty-five people to be placed on this diet. The agency should be testing the null hypothesis H₀: m = 10 and the alternative hypothesis

• Ha: μ < 10
• Ha: μ > 10
• Ha: μ ≥ 10
• Ha: μ ≤ 10
