Solution

The null hypothesis (H0) and the alternate hypothesis (H1) for this problem would be:

H0: p = 0.60 (The percentage of children aged 8-12 who have phones is 60%) H1: p ≠ 0.60 (The percentage of children aged 8-12 who have phones is not 60%)

This hypothesis test is a two-tailed test because we are looking for a difference from 60% in either direction, not specifically greater than or less than 60%.

If a school administrator claims that less than 50% of the students are dissatisfied with the food served in the school canteen. The claim used a sample data obtained from a survey of 500 students of the school wherein 54% indicated their dissatisfaction with the food served in the school canteen.

According to a Pew Research Center, in May 2011, 35% of all American adults had a smartphone (one which the user can use to read email and surf the Internet). A communications professor at a university believes this percentage is higher among community college students.She selects 300 community college students at random and finds that 120 of them have a smartphone. In testing the hypotheses H0, P = 0.35, versus Ha, p > 0.35, she calculates the test statistic as Z = 1.82.Use the normal table to identify the appropriate p-value for this Z score.Click here to access the normal table.Given these results, which of the following is an appropriate conclusion? There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (p-value = 0.034). There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (p-value = 0.068). There is not enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (p-value = 0.966). There is not enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (p-value = 0.034).

Suppose that a major polling organization wanted to test the hypothesis that there was a change in the president’s “approval rating” since last month. Last month, 35% of the representative sample of registered voters approved of the president. For this month, the null hypothesis was that the approval rating equals 35% and the alternative hypothesis is that the approval rating does not equal 35%. The significance level for this test was 0.05.The results of the hypothesis test of the new survey showed a p-value of 0.008.Which of the following statements is correct? Check all that apply. The results were statistically significant. The results were not statistically significant. The null hypothesis should be rejected. The null hypothesis should be accepted. The null hypothesis cannot be rejected.
