Confidence Interval & hypothesis testing
For each question from Q1 to Q6, you are encouraged to give a reason or show work for
partial credit.
Q1. Confidence intervals are useful when trying to estimate _______.
a) unknown parameters
b) known parameters.
c) unknown statistics
d) known statistics.
Q2. The one-sample z statistic is used instead of the one-sample t statistic when ______.
a) μ is known
b) μ is unknown
c) σ is known
d) σ is unknown
Q3. The ____ P-value, the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis provided by the
data.
a) larger
b) smaller
Q4. The probability you reject the null hypothesis when in fact the null hypothesis is true is
called __________.
a) a Type I error
b) a Type II error
c) the power
Q5. A random sample of 20 observations produced a sample mean of !̅ = 92.4 and s = 25.8.
What is the
value of the standard error of !̅?
a) 4.6
b) 15.9
c) 1.3
d) 5.8
Q6. The heights (in inches) of adult males in the United States are believed to be Normally
distributed with mean μ. The average height of a random sample of 25 American adult males
is found to be ! ̅ = 69.72 inches, and the standard deviation of the 25 heights is found to be s =
4.15. A 90% confidence interval for μ is
a) 69.72 ± 1.09
b) 69.72 ± 1.37
c) 69.72 ± 1.42
Q7. Are the percentages of men and women participating in volunteer work the same?
A. Write the Null Hypothesis (In both statistical format and on words)
Statistical Format:
H0: pmen = pwomen
In Words:
There is no difference in the percentage of men and women who volunteer.
B. A chi-squared test was performed. The p-value was 0.310. How strong is the
evidence that the null hypothesis is false?
a. No evidence
b. Some evidence
c. Strong evidence
d. Very strong evidence
C. If the significance level is 5%, then do we reject or retain the null hypothesis? Your
comment
There is no statistically significant difference in volunteer participation between
genders.
Q8. It is assumed, based on experience, that 75% of the residents accepted to the College of
Dentistry at MBRU are female. An annual meeting has reported that this proportion is greater
than 0.75. A random sample of 400 applications was taken, and it revealed that 352 of them
are female. We intend to test this hypothesis.
A. The Null hypothesis and the Alternative hypothesis are….
a. "! : $ ≥ 0.75 & "" < 0.75
b. "! : $ < 0.75 & "" ≥ 0.75
c. "! : / ≤ 0.75 & /" > 0.75
d. "! : / ≠ 0.75 & /! = 0.75
B. This hypothesis test is classifying as...
a. Two-tailed
b. Right tailed.
c. Left-tailed.
d. Opposite tailed.
C. The appropriate test statistic is...
#$ &
a. 5 =
'&("$&)/+
,- $ .
b. 6 = //√+
,- $ .
c. 5 =
1/√+
2 #$ &
d. Χ =
'&("$&)/+
D. With significance level equal 0.05, the decision criterion for the hypothesis test in
terms of the computed value of the test statistic ( ) stat Zstat is....
a. Reject H0 if Zc < -1.96
b. Reject H0 if Zc > 1.96
c. Reject H0 if Zc > 1.96 or Zc < -1.96
d. Reject H0 if Zc > 1.645
