Hypothesis Testing

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

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

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

Define a Type I error?

• The failure to reject a false null hypothesis

When do you use a t-value instead of a z-value? 

• When n < 30
• When n ≥ 30
• When all of the planets align
• When Ms. O said to
