Hypothesis Testing

Identify the correct null hypothesis:

Is the proportion of babies born male different from 50%? In a sample of 200 babies, 96 were male.

• H₀: p = 0.50

• H₀: µ = 100

• H₀: p = 0.48

• H₀: µ = 96

Which of the following shows a right-tailed test?

• Ha: p < 15

• H₀: p < 15

• Ha: p > 15

• H₀: p > 15

In testing hypotheses, which of the following would be strong evidence against the null hypothesis?

• using a small level of significance
• using a large level of significance
• obtaining data with a small p-value
• obtaining data with a low test statistic

A P-value indicates:

• the probability that the null hypothesis is true
• the probability that the alternative hypothesis is true
• the probability of obtaining the results (or one more extreme) if the null hypothesis is true
• probability of a Type I error

Which of the following is not an option for an alternate hypothesis? 

• H_a = k
• H_a > k

A mayor is concerned about the percentage of city residents who express disapproval of his job performance.  His political committee pays for a newspaper ad, hoping to keep his disapproval rating below 21%.  They will use a follow up poll to access effectiveness.  What are the correct null and alternative hypotheses?

• Ho: p=.21
  Ha: p > .21
• Ho: p< .21
  Ha: p= .21
• Ho: p> .21
  Ha: p= .21
• Ho: p= .21
  Ha: p< .21
