Which of the following correctly describes the purpose of finding the confidence interval following hypothesis testing? answer choices To find the true mean To provide more information regarding the true population value beyond what the p-value alone provides. To reject or accept the alternative hypothesis None of the above

Choose the statement that describes a situation where a confidence interval and a hypothesis test will yield (essentially) the same results. When the null hypothesis contains a population parameter that is equal to zero. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed. Confidence intervals and hypothesis tests will only yield similar results for means, never proportions. A confidence interval cannot yield results that are the same as the hypothesis test.

Choose the statement that describes a situation where a confidence interval and a hypothesis test would yield the same results. I. When the null hypothesis contains a population parameter that is equal to zero. II. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed. a) Neither I nor II. The confidence interval cannot yield results that are the same as the hypothesis test. b) II only c) I only

a. Assume that we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that $p_{1} < p_{2} .$ Which is better: A hypothesis test or a confidence interval? b. In general, when dealing with inferences for two population proportions, which two of the following are equivalent: confidence interval method; $P$ -value method; critical value method? c. If we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that $p_{1} < p_{2},$ what confidence level should we use? d. If we test the claim in part (c) using the sample data in Exercise $1,$ we get this confidence interval: $-0.000508 < p_{1}-p_{2} < -0.000309 .$ What does this confidence interval suggest about the claim?
