Which of the following is true?

• We do not use sample statistics when stating hypotheses
• P-value = 0.05 means the probability that the null is true is 0.05
• If the p-value is small enough, we can conclude that the alternate hypothesis is true
• You must examine your data prior to deciding to do a 1- or 2-tailed test

Under what conditions would it be meaningful to construct a confidence interval estimate when the data consist of the entire population?

• If the population size is large (n > 30)
• If a higher level of confidence is desired
• If the population is truly random
• Never

A 99% confidence interval found that the true proportion of teens who drink coffee every day is in the interval (0.785, 0.831). What was the p^ value used to determine this interval? 

• 0.8
• 0.808
• 0.825
• 0.831

A test was conducted to see if there was evidence that more than 10% of the population is left-handed. Ho: p = 0.10, Ha: p >0.10. A p-value of 1.10 is found. What can we conclude?

• There is not evidence that more than 10% of people are left-handed
• We can conclude that more than 10% of people are left-handed
• There is evidence that more than 10% of people are left-handed
• The person who ran this test made an error
