Kylie works for a large nursery and is investigating whether to use a new brand of seeds. The new brand of seeds advertises that 93% of the seeds germinate, which is higher than the germination rate of the seeds she is currently using. She will change over to this new brand unless the actual germination rate is less than what is advertised. Kylie conducts an experiment by randomly selecting 76 seeds of the new brand and plants them. She finds that 70 of those seeds germinated. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? Select the correct answer below: {H0: p=0.93, Ha: p<0.93}

Hypothesis 1 H0: Receiving a 20 percent off coupon does not increase the number of customers visiting the Lotions and Potions soap store. Ha: Receiving a 20 percent off coupon increases customers visiting the Lotions and Potions soap store. Data Customers on file who visited the store during coupon promo: 32 percent Customers on file who visit the store during a typical week: 30 percent Sample size: 4,500 Questions Did you use a z-test or t-test? Why? What is the P value? Do you accept or reject the alternative hypothesis? Should Lotions and Potions continue to offer this promotion in order to increase visits? Why or why not?

From September 2000 to August 2002, 30 premature infants were admitted to the neonatal ICU of Southern Philippines Medical Center. They were divided into groups, wherein one group was treated with new methodologies of assisted ventilation, and the other was treated with the standard. The results of their weight in grams are shown on the right. At a 90% confidence level, test the claim that the new treatment is more effective than the standard by using the traditional method of hypothesis testing. H0: μ1 = μ2 H1: μ1 > μ2 It is a right-tailed test. 4. Give the null hypothesis in words. The null hypothesis states that there is no significant difference in effectiveness between the new treatment and the standard treatment. 5. Give the alternative hypothesis in words. The alternative hypothesis states that the new treatment is more effective than the standard treatment. 6. Determine the critical value or p-value. 7. Identify what test to be used. A t-test should be used to compare the means of the two groups. 8. Explain why this test is most appropriate. A t-test is appropriate in this case because we are comparing the means of two groups with a small sample size. 9. Make the decision using specific evidence. 10. Summarize the results of the study.

A recent study suggests that 74% of high school students buy lunch. Olivia is a teacher at a high school who would like to know whether the percentage is less for high school students at her school. She randomly selects 50 students at her school and finds that 36 of the students buy lunch. Are all of the conditions for this hypothesis test met, and if so, what are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? Select the correct answer below: {H0: p = 0.74, Ha: p < 0.74 {H0: p ≠ 0.74, Ha: p = 0.74 {H0: p = 0.74, Ha: p > 0.74 {H0: p = 0.74, Ha: p ≠ 0.74 {H0: p = 0.74, Ha: p ≠ 0.74
