The principal of a middle school claims that test scores of the seventh-graders at his school vary less than the test scores of the seventh-graders at a neighboring school, which have variation described by Η = 14.7. Assuming that a hypothesis test to support this claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the final conclusion using pure English words.

A commonly cited study says that 49% of students study less than 5 hours per week. A researcher does not think this is accurate and wants to show that the percentage of students that study less than 5 hours per week is not equal to 49%. Identify the null hypothesis, H0, and the alternative hypothesis, Ha, in terms of the parameter p.
Which of the two hypotheses is the researcher always testing to reject or not?
Ex 9. Suppose that a national survey finds that 73 percent of restaurant employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. A random sample of 200 employees of a large restaurant chain finds that 141 employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the percentage of work-stressed employees for the restaurant chain differs from the national percentage. b. Use critical values to perform the hypothesis test by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001
Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the null hypothesis in this case? If p = 0.29, should Colby reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? What should Colby’s statement of conclusion be? (This circles back to what is being tested).
A popular uprising that started on January 25, 2011 in Egypt led to the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Polls show that about 69% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 30 high school students, it was found that only 17 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time. (Source: Gallup Politics, Americans' Views of Egypt Sharply More Negative, data collected February 2-5, 2011).
A news article reported that the college students who have part-timne jobs work an thought that the average might be different from 15 hours per week for their college. Data were collected on the number of hours per week for a average of hours per week. The staff of a college newspaper 15 random sample of students at the college who have part-time jobs.

Could you please help me out with this question… Does ivy grow better in areas with more sun versus in shady areas? Formulate one null (H0) and one alternative (H1) hypothesis.
6) Decide whether the null hypothesis should be rejected when a = 0.05 and the P-value = 0.045.
Q3. If the null hypothesis is not rejected when the null hypothesis is in error, what type of error, if any, has been made?
A researcher selects a sample and administers a treatment for anxiety to the individuals in the sample. If the sample is used for a hypothesis test, what does the null hypothesis (Ho) put forth about the treatment? O The treatment has an effect on anxiety. O The treatment divides each anxiety score by a constant. O The treatment multiplies each anxiety score by a constant. The treatment has no effect on anxiety.
Which is the correct null hypothesis based on this statement: People with diabetes have higher systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes? People with diabetes have lower systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes. People with diabetes have equal systolic blood pressure when compared to people without diabetes. People with diabetes have a systolic blood pressure equal to or lower than people without diabetes. None of these are a null hypothesis.
In a Munich high school, A class has 20 students, the instructor gave two exams, one take home exam and one live exam. He inspected the answers of the students and scored them for their similarity to rest of the class. (in the picture) Was the similarity of the answers higher in the Take Home exam or Live Exam? Perform a hypothesis test on differences to make your decision, use α = 0.05.
