Hypothesis testing Review

To check the normality test using Shapiro-Wilk, if the p-value is below 0.05?

• Accept null hypothesis
• Reject null hypothesis
• Failed to reject null hypothesis
• Reject alternative hypothesis

Which of the following shows a right-tailed test?

• Ha: µ < 15
• H₀: µ < 15
• Ha: µ > 15
• H₀: µ > 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

Suppose the P-value for a hypothesis test is 0.0304. Using a = 0.05, what is the appropriate conclusion?

• a) Reject the null hypothesis

• b) Reject the alternative hypothesis

• c) Fail to reject the null hypothesis

• d) Fail to reject the alternative hypothesis

When p-value is greater than alpha we:

• Reject Ho

• Fail to reject Ha

• Fail to reject Ho

• Reject Ha

The null and alternative hypothesis can be the same.

• Yes

• No

• Maybe

• All the above

H₀: μ = k

H₁: μ ≠ k

• Left-tailed test

• Two-tailed test

• Right-tailed test

H₀: μ = k

H₁: μ > k

• Left-tailed test

• Right-tailed test

A manufacturer claims that his tires last at least 40,000

miles. A test on 25 tires reveals that the mean life of a tire

is 39,750 miles, with a standard deviation of 387 miles.

Test the Manufacturer’s claim at α = .01.

• Reject Ho

• Reject Ha

• Fail to reject Ho

• Fail to reject Ha

In performing a hypothesis test where the null

hypothesis is that the μ = 6.9. A random sample of 16

items is selected. The sample mean is 7.1 and the sample

standard deviation is 2.4. It can be assumed that the

population is normally distributed at α = .05.

• Reject Ho

• Reject Ha

• Fail to reject Ho

• Fail to reject Ha
