Assume a simple random sample of 10 BMIs with a standard deviation of 1.186 is selected from a normally distributed population o

f recent Miss America winners. Use 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the BMI for recent Miss America winners are from a population with standard deviation of 1.34.
A. Identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
B. Find the critical value or values.
C. Find the test statistic.
D. State the conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Answer:

a) H0: \sigma = 1.34

H1: \sigma \neq 1.34

b) df = n-1= 10-1=9

And the critical values with \alpha/2=0.005 on each tail are:

\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589

c) t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05

d) For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n = 10 sample size

s= 1.186 the sample deviation

\sigma_o =1.34 the value that we want to test

p_v represent the p value for the test

t represent the statistic  (chi square test)

\alpha=0.01 significance level

Part a

On this case we want to test if the true deviation is 1,34 or no, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \sigma = 1.34

H1: \sigma \neq 1.34

The statistic is given by:

t=(n-1) [\frac{s}{\sigma_o}]^2

Part b

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

And the critical values with \alpha/2=0.005 on each tail are:

\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589

Part c

Replacing the info we got:

t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05

Part d

For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34

Which statements about the values of 4.099 and 40.99 are true? Select all that apply. 4.099 is 110 of 40.99. 4.099 is 1100 of 40
liraira [26]

Answer:

40.99 is 10 times more than 4.099

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the values :

4.099 and 40.99

4.099 is 110 of 40.99 : 110 * 40.99 = 4508.9 (false)

4.099 is 1100 of 40.99 : 1100 * 40.99 = 45089 (false)

40.99 is 10 times more than 4.099 : (10 * 4.099) = 40.99 (true)

40.99 is 100 times more than 4.099 : (100 * 4.099) = 409.9 ( false)

4.099 is 10 times more than 40.99 : (10 * 40.99) = 409.9 (false)
