A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOs) of major corpor

ations. He believes that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is different from 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 126 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 18 mm Hg.Based on this information, answer the questions below.What are the null hypothesis and alternative to be used for the test (ie, less than, less than or equal to etc)H0 is μ= ____ _______( 18,136, 126) pick oneH1 is μ = _____ _____ (18,136,126) pick oneIn the context of this test what is the type I error? Pick one in the parathensisA type I error is ______(rejecting or failing to reject) that the μ is____________ (less than , equal to, etc) (18,136,126) when in fact μ is__________ ( less than, greater to , etc) (18,136,126)Suppose the researcher decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might he be making? (type I or type II)

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 136 mm Hg  

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu\neq 136 mm Hg

In this context type I error is rejecting that the μ is equal to 136 mm Hg when in fact μ is equal to 136 mm Hg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is different from 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article.

He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 126 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 18 mm Hg.

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 136 mm Hg     {means that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is 136 mm Hg}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu\neq 136 mm Hg      {means that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is 136 mm Hg}

Type I error states that the null hypothesis is rejected when in fact the null hypothesis was true. So, in this context type I error is rejecting that the μ is equal to 136 mm Hg when in fact μ is equal to 136 mm Hg.

Suppose the researcher decides not to reject the null hypothesis. It means the researcher is making a type I error.

Paraphin [41]
Hello there.

The bakers healthy baker can make 280 bagels in 10 hours. how many bagels can they bake in 15 hours? what was that rate per hour
Answer: First you should calculate the rate per hour.
280 / 10 = 28.
In one hour the baker can make 28 bagels.
Multiply the one hour amount by 15.
28 x 15 = 420.

In short, Your answer is the baker can make 420 bagels in 15 hours and it is 28 bagels per hour.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^

Describe the difference between parallel and perpendicular lines, their slopes and graphs
Aloiza [94]

Parallel lines have the same slopes (but different y intercepts). Parallel lines never cross. Parallel lines are the same distance from each other no matter where you are on either line. Think of it like a pair of perfectly straight railroad tracks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perpendicular lines cross at one point. The two lines form a 90 degree angle. The two slopes multiply to -1, which is another way of saying that the slopes are negative reciprocals of one another. For example, a line with a slope of 2/3 and another line with a slope of -3/2 has these two values multiply to -1; therefore showing they are perpendicular lines.
