Our null hypothesis is that the true coefficient is zero. In which case would we choose to use a one-sided alternative hypothesis over a two-sided alternative hypothesis? We choose a one sided alternative hypothesis when we have a large sample size. We choose a one sided alternative hypothesis when we specify a low (0.01) significance level. It does not matter what type of alternative hypothesis we specify. Choose a one sided alternative hypothesis when the theory and literature suggests either that the true coefficient should be greater than zero or that the true coefficient should be less than zero.

Which of the following statements is correct? Select one: a. The larger the p-value, the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis O b. An extremely small p-value indicates that the actual data differs markedly from that expected if the null hypothesis were true O c. The p-value measures the probability that the hypothesis is true O d. The p-value measures the probability of making a Type Il error

A shopper wanted to test whether there was a difference in the average waiting times at the check-out counter among 5 different supermarkets. She selected a random sample of 20 shoppers from each of the five supermarkets. i. What is the null hypothesis for this situation? OThe average waiting time to check out is 25 minutes for all five supermarkets OThe average waiting time for each of the 100 shoppers is different. ONone of these OThe average waiting time to check out is the same for all five supermarkets OThe average waiting time to check out is not the same for all five supermarkets. ii. What is the alternative hypothesis for this situation? OThe average waiting time to check out is 25 minutes for all five supermarkets OThe average waiting time to check out is the same for all five supermarkets OThe average waiting time for each of the 100 shoppers is different. ONone of these OThe average waiting time to check out is not the same for all five supermarkets.
As a manager of a small software retailing company, you are concerned with projected profit next year. While profit can be determined as the difference between sales and maintenance cost, or in symbols, P = S - M, where P is profit, S is sales, and M is maintenance cost including technical support. It is argues that when sales goes up so does maintenance cost because the cost of technical support will go up. Further, it is measured that the correlation between S and M is 0.8. Now given the figure that sales next year is expected to be $300 thousand with standard deviation of $4 thousand and maintenance cost is expected to be $150 thousand with standard deviation of $6 thousand, what would be the expected profit and its standard deviation you will include in your report?
