Results from previous studies showed 79% of all high school seniors from a certain city plan to attend college after graduation. A random sample of 200 high school seniors from this city reveals that 162 plan to attend college. Does this indicate that the percentage has increased from that of previous studies? Test at the 5% level of significance. What is your conclusion? A.Cannot determine B.Do not reject H0. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of students planning to go to college is greater than .79. C.More seniors are going to college D.Reject H0. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of students planning to go to college is now greater than .79. Reset Selection Question 2 of 20 1.0 Points A manufacturer of flashlight batteries took a sample of 13 batteries from a day's production and used them continuously until they failed to work. The life lengths of the batteries, in hours, until they failed were: 342, 426, 317, 545, 264, 451, 1049, 631, 512, 266, 492, 562, and 298. At the .05 level of significance, is there evidence to suggest that the mean life length of the batteries produced by this manufacturer is more than 400 hours? A.No, because the test value 1.257 is greater than the critical value 1.115 B.Yes, because the test value 1.257 is less than the critical value 1.782 C.No, because the p-value for this test is equal to .1164 D.Yes, because the test value 1.257 is less than the critical value 2.179 Reset Selection Question 3 of 20 1.0 Points The form of the alternative hypothesis can be: A.two-tailed B.one-tailed C.neither one nor two-tailed D.one or two-tailed Reset Selection Question 4 of 20 1.0 Points A lab technician is tested for her consistency by taking multiple measurements of cholesterol levels from the same blood sample.

A statistician wishes to test the claim that the standard deviation of the weights of firemen is greater than 25 pounds. To do so, she selected a random sample of 20 firemen and found s = 27.2 pounds. Assuming that the weights of firemen are normally distributed, to test her research hypothesis the statistician would use a chi-square test. In that case, what is the computed test value?
