z-test & t-test

When should you use the t-test? (select all that apply)

• When you are testing a proportion/percentage of a population

• When you are testing for a mean

• When you are given the population standard deviation

• When you are ONLY given the sample standard deviation

You do not need BOTH null and alternate hypotheses when testing

• True

• False

When testing with  $\alpha=0.01$  you get  $p=0.12$ . Your decision should be 

• Reject $H_0$ , there is a significant difference

• Accept $H_0$ , there is NOT a significant difference

• Reject $H_0$ , there is NOT a significant difference

• Accept $H_0$ , there is a significant difference

When testing with  $\alpha=0.05$  you get  $p=3.2\ E^{-6}$ . Your decision should be 

• Reject $H_0$ , there is a significant difference

• Accept $H_0$ , there is NOT a significant difference

• Reject $H_0$ , there is NOT a significant difference

• Accept $H_0$ , there is a significant difference

For the t-test one uses __________ instead of σ.

• n

• s

• χ²

• t

If you wish to test the claim that the mean of the population is 100, the appropriate alternate hypothesis is

•  $\overline{x}=100$  

•  $\mu=100$  

•  $\mu\ne100$  

•  $\mu>100$

What is the only option for the null hypothesis? 

• H₀ = k
• H₀ > k
• H₀ < k
• H₀ ≠ k

The weight of the average 6th grade boy is 89 lbs. The principal of the school feeds them steak for first semester to see if their weight changes. What are the null and alternate hypotheses?

• H₀: μ = 89

  H₁: μ = 89

• H₀: μ = 89

  H₁: μ > 89

• H₀: μ = 89

  H₁: μ < 89

• H₀: μ = 89

  H₁: μ ≠ 89
