1. You wish to test the following claim (H1H1) at a significance level of =0.01=0.01. Ho:=50.1 H1:50.1 You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=5 with mean M=39.1and a standard deviation of SD=12.9 What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value = The p-value is...

• less than (or equal to)
• greater than

This test statistic leads to a decision to...

• reject the null
• accept the null
• fail to reject the null

As such, the final conclusion is that...

• There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is not equal to 50.1.
• There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is not equal to 50.1.
• The sample data support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 50.1.
• There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 50.1.

2. Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day. A sample of 52 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 5 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of =0.01 What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value = The p-value is...

• less than (or equal to)
• greater than

This test statistic leads to a decision to...

• reject the null
• accept the null
• fail to reject the null

As such, the final conclusion is that...

• There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is less than 0.3.
• There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is less than 0.3.
• The sample data support the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is less than 0.3.
• There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is less than 0.3.
