Hypothesis Test for one population mean ? In class Exercise: A researcher is interested in the wingspan of a species of butterfly. He gets a random sample of 45 butterflies and wants to test the null hypothesis $H_0: \mu = 4.5$ against the alternative hypothesis $H_a: \mu < 4.5$. The data observed gives him $\bar{x} = 4.65$ and $s^2 = 0.23$. (a) Define the test statistic and a critical region that has a significance level of $\alpha = 0.05$. Sketch a figure showing this critical region. (b) Calculate the value of the test statistic and state your conclusion clearly. (c) Compute the p-value of this test. (d) Compute the CI.

The data comes from a normally distributed population with a population standard deviation that is unknown. Set up a two-tailed hypothesis test to test whether the population mean is equal to 330. Use a level of significance of 0.05. Provide the following: a. State your null and alternative hypotheses. Use a two-tailed test. b. Determine the test statistic. c. Determine the p-value. d. Determine the critical values for the hypothesis test. e. Clearly explain whether one should reject or not reject the null hypothesis at a 5% level of significance. Explain your reasoning.

Suppose that you want to run a hypothesis test on the population proportion. You have a sample of 300 observations and the sample proportion is 0.63. Provide the following: Setup a two-tailed hypothesis test to test whether the population proportion is equal to 0.70. Use a level of significance of 0.05. Provide the following: a. State your null and alternative hypotheses. Use a two-tailed test. b. Determine the test statistic. c. Determine the p-value. d. Determine the critical values for the hypothesis test. e. Clearly explain whether one should reject or not reject the null hypothesis at a 5% level of significance. Explain your reasoning.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises $5-18,$ test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, $P$ -value or critical value(s), conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the $P$ -value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Red Blood Cell Count A simple random sample of 50 adults is obtained, and Each person's red blood cell count (in cells per microliter) is measured. The sample mean is $5.23 .$ The population standard deviation for red blood cell counts is 0.54. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than $5.4,$ which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range of normal values. What do the results suggest about the sample group?
