Individuals in a random sample of 150 were asked whether they supported capital punishment. The following information was obtained. Do You Support Capital Punishment? Yes No No Opinion Number of Individuals 40 60 50 We are interested in determining whether the opinions of the individuals (as to Yes, No, and No Opinion) are uniformly distributed. Refer to Exhibit 12-1. The hypothesis is to be tested at the 5% level of significance. The critical value from the table equals a. 5.99147 b. 7.81473 c. 9.34840 d. 7.37776

Step 1
The null hypothesis (H0) is that the opinions are uniformly distributed. This means that we would expect the same number of people to answer "Yes", "No", and "No Opinion". The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the opinions are not uniformly distributed. Show more…

When individuals in a sample of 150 were asked whether or not they supported capital punishment, the following information was obtained: Do you support capital punishment? Yes No No Opinion Number of individuals We are interested in determining whether or not the opinions of the individuals (as to Yes, No, and No Opinion) are uniformly distributed. The p-value is larger than .1, between .01 and .05, between .05 and .1, or less than .01.

A random sample of size 20 drawn from a normal population yielded the following results: $\bar{x}-49.2,5=1.33$ a. Test $\boldsymbol{H}_{\mathrm{a}}: \mu-50$ vs. $\boldsymbol{H}_{\mathrm{a}}: \boldsymbol{\mu}+50 @ \mathrm{a}-\mathrm{O} .01 .$ b. Estimate the observed significance of the test in part (a) and state a decision based on the $p$ -value approach to hypothesis testing.
