A commonly cited work week hours for an employee is 36 hours. A company samples 100 employees and find an average work week hours of 47 hours with a standard deviation of 11 hours. Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses for testing if the average work week hours of an employee of this company is different than the commonly cited standard of 36 hours? H0: x = 47; HA: μ = 36 H0: μ = 36; HA: μ ≠ 36 HA: μ = 36; H0: x ≠ 36 H0: μ = 36; HA: μ > 36 H0: μ = 36; HA: x = 47

Step 1
In this case, it would be that the average work week hours of an employee of this company is the same as the commonly cited standard of 36 hours. So, H0: μ = 36. The alternative hypothesis (HA) is what you might believe to be true or hope to prove true. In this Show more…

The mean number of sick days per employee taken last year by all employees of a large city was 10.6 days. A city administrator is investigating whether the mean number of sick days this year is different from the mean number of sick days last year. The administrator takes a random sample of 40 employees and finds the mean of the sample to be 12.9. A hypothesis test will be conducted as part of the investigation. Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses? H0: μ = 10.6 Ha: μ ≠ 10.6

The mean time spent on studies of all students at a university last year was 40 hours per week. This year, a random sample of 35 students at the university was drawn. The following summary statistics were computed: Test the hypothesis that μ, the population mean time spent on studies per week is equal to 40 hours against the alternative that μ is larger than 40 hours. Use a significance level of α = .05.

Consider the following hypotheses: H0: μ = 44 HA: μ ≠ 44 Find the p-value for this test based on the following sample information. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a. x̄ = 43; s = 5.7; n = 29 b. x̄ = 45; s = 5.7; n = 29 c. x̄ = 42; s = 4.9; n = 36 d. x̄ = 43; s = 4.9; n = 45
