True or False? When the sample size is 9, the critical value of the student's t in a right-tailed test ($\alpha$=0.05) for the unknown population mean is 1.771. Select one: True False

Step 1
The significance level is $\alpha = 0.05$. We are looking for the critical value of the t-distribution for a right-tailed test with $df=8$ and $\alpha=0.05$. Show more…

For a sample of nine items, the critical value of t for a left-tailed test of a mean at a = .05 is -1.860. True False

Determinations of P-values and critical values are affected by whether a critical region is in two tails, the left tail, or the right tail. True False 2. The standard deviation of the Student's t-distribution is not equal to 0. True False 3. If 100 households were surveyed out of which 60 households have cable TV, the sample proportion of households with cable TV is 0.6. True False 4. Assume that a simple random sample of 70 female college students has been selected from a normally distributed population, then the degree of freedom (d.f.) using t-test statistic is 69. True False 5. If the test statistic for a left-tailed test is z = -1.25, then P-value is 0.1056. True False 6. The alternative hypothesis for the following claim: "A car Company claims that its new car will average more than 40 miles per gallon in the city" is H1: µ > 40. True False

1a) True or False? John uses two independent samples to construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference of two population means as [1.08, 5.32], where the two unknown population variances are assumed equal. This confidence interval implies he should reject the null hypothesis of equal population means in a two-sample two-tailed t test with α = 0.05, using the same samples and assuming equal variances. Select one: True False 1b) A paired t-test uses two columns of data. If in either column there are 11 observations, the degrees of freedom for the test statistic is Select one: A. 9 B. 20 C. 22 D. 10 1c) True or False? In setting up a statistical test to compare two population proportions, we should always set a nonzero value for the hypothesized difference D0 when stating the null and alternative hypotheses. Select one: True False
