1. If a researcher retains a false null hypothesis, she has made an incorrect decision. 2. If a p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis should be rejected. 3. The process of using sample statistics to draw conclusions about population parameters is called statistical inference. 4. If you took a sample of the labeled 5-pound bags of yummy mix and found the average weight to be 3.5 pounds, which was less than 0.05 (5%) likely to occur given the assumed population mean of 5 pounds, your conclusion would be to reject the null hypothesis. 5. The managers of a brokerage firm are interested in finding out if the number of new clients a broker brings into the firm affects the sales generated by the broker. They sample 12 brokers and determine the number of new clients they have enrolled in the last year and their sales amounts in thousands of dollars. The best statistical test to use to reach a conclusion would be the correlation coefficient.
