Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for the following problems. Assume you test this hypothesis at the 95% level and you have a test statistic of 1.6 and a critical statistic of 1.96. What do you conclude? a. It has been stated that 75 out of every 100 people who go to the movies on Saturday night buy popcorn.

Step 1
75 (p = 0.75). Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The proportion of people who buy popcorn at the movies on Saturday night is greater than 0.75 (p > 0.75). ** Show more…

15. Hypotheses Write the null and alternative hypotheses you would use to test each of the following situations: a. A governor is concerned about his "negatives"—the percentage of state residents who express disapproval of his job performance. His political committee pays for a series of TV ads, hoping that they can keep the negatives below 30%. They will use follow-up polling to assess the ads' effectiveness. b. Is a coin fair? c. Only about 20% of people who try to quit smoking succeed. Sellers of a motivational tape claim that listening to the recorded messages can help people quit.

In the following problems, 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 address the original claim. (Assume that the sample(s) are taken from normally distributed population(s).) In a Pew Research Center poll of 745 randomly selected adults, 589 said that it is morally wrong to not report all income tax returns. Use 0.01 significance level to test the claim that that 75% of adults say it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns.

State the null hypothesis, $H_{o},$ and the alternative hypothesis, $H_{a},$ that would be used for a hypothesis test for each of the following statements: a. The mean age of the youths who hang out at the mall is less than 16 years. b. The mean height of professional basketball players is greater than $6 \mathrm{ft} 6$ in. c. The mean elevation drop for ski trails at eastern ski centers is at least 285 feet. d. The mean diameter of the rivets is no more than 0.375 inch. e. The mean cholesterol level of male college students is different from $200 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$
