Which of the following represents the appropriate null & alternative hypotheses?

The mean height of women is greater than 65"

• H₀: μ > 65"

  Hₐ: μ ≠ 65"

• H₀: μ < 65"

  Hₐ: μ > 65"

• H₀: p > 65"

  Hₐ: p ≠ 65"

• H₀: p = 65"

  Hₐ: p > 65"

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

What is the only option for the null hypothesis? 

• H₀ = k
• H₀ > k
• H₀ < k
• H₀ ≠ k

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

• H_a = k
• H_a > k
• H_a < k
• H_a ≠ k

The weight of the average 6th grade student's backpack (with books in it) is 18.4 lbs. The principal of the school thinks that the backpack does not weight 18.4 lbs. What is the null and alternate hypothesis? 

• H₀ = 18.4
  H_a = 18.4
• H₀ = 18.4
  H_a > 18.4
• H₀ = 18.4
  H_a < 18.4
• H₀ = 18.4
  H_a ≠ 18.4

Which of the following is the FIRST step of a hypothesis test?

• Check assumptions & conditions
• Find your test statistic
• State your conclusion
• State your null & alternative hypotheses

A car manufacturer advertises that its new subcompact models get 47 mpg. If μ is the mileage of these cars, what could be the null and alternate hypothesis if we wanted to check if the car's mpg is overrated? 

• H₀ = 47
  H_a = 47
• H₀ = 47
  H_a < 47
• H₀ = 47
  H_a > 47
• H₀ = 47
  H_a ≠ 47

In a hypothesis test, the alternative hypothesis is always a statement of equality. 

• True
• False
