A UW Madison professor is interested in learning about the variance of grades for university students. The professor gathers the

sample variance for a random sample of 50 students. From past experience, the professor knows that the population of students is normally distributed. The sample variance that is collected is equal to 80. The professor would like to infer at the 1% significance level that the population variance is less than 100.
a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis.
b. What is the correct test statistic?
c. What is the conclusion of the test?
d. What would be the effect if the professor increased the sample size?

Answer:

A) H0 : μ = 100  

   H1 :  μ < 100

B)  39.2

C)  We fail to reject null hypothesis

D) If the professor increases the sample size the value of the test statistic will increase .

Step-by-step explanation:

sample variance ( s ) = 80

sample size = 50

At ∝ = 0.01  population variance ( σ )   < 100

<u>a) Hypothesis </u>

H0 : μ = 100  ( Null hypothesis )

H1 :  μ < 100  ( Alternate hypothesis )

<u>b) Determine The correct test statistic </u>

x^2 = ( n-1 ) * s^2/σ^2

      = ( 49 ) * 80^2 / 100^2

      = 39.2

<u>C) Determine the conclusion of the test</u>

The P-value = 0.1596  ( calculated )

The conclusion of the test is that we fail to reject null hypothesis given that

P-value ( 0.1596 ) > ∝ ( 0.01 )  

D) If the professor increases the sample size the value of the test statistic will increase .

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

I think Roland is correct in his statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roland says the number of cups of iced tea t depends on the number of tea bags b and he says the equation represents the relationship between the number of tea bags b and the cups of iced tea t = \frac{b}{1.5}.

I think Roland is correct in his statement and this is because here t is a function of b i.e. t = f(b) and hence, the number of cups of iced tea t depends on the number of tea bags b. (Answer)
