Question 1

A business researcher is testing the following hypotheses using a 10% level of significance.?H₀: p = .70?H_a: p

A	fail to reject the null hypothesis.
B	not enough information to conduct the hypothesis test.
C	take a larger sample.
D	reject the null hypothesis.

Question 2

A study by Hewitt Associates showed that 79% of companies offer employees flexible scheduling. Suppose a researcher believes that in accounting firms this figure is lower. The researcher randomly selects 415 accounting firms and through interviews determines that 303 of these firms have flexible scheduling. With a 1% level of significance, does the test show enough evidence to conclude that a significantly lower proportion of accounting firms offer employees flexible scheduling?
The value of the test statistic rounded to 2 decimal places is
z
=_______ and we a) reject the null hypothesis
b) fail to reject the null hypothesis
The tolerance is +/- 0.05.


Quiz 1 Question 1 A business researcher is testing the following hypotheses using a 10% level of significance.
H0: p = .70
Ha: p < .70
a sample of 415 is taken and the sample proportion is .66. the business researcher's decision from this test is: a fail to reject the null hypothesis. b not enough information to conduct the hypothesis test. c take a larger sample. d reject the null hypothesis. question 2 a study by hewitt associates showed that 79% of companies offer employees flexible scheduling. suppose a researcher believes that in accounting firms this figure is lower. the researcher randomly selects 415 accounting firms and through interviews determines that 303 of these firms have flexible scheduling. with a 1% level of significance, does the test show enough evidence to conclude that a significantly lower proportion of accounting firms offer employees flexible scheduling? the value of the test statistic rounded to 2 decimal places is z =_______ and we a) reject the null hypothesis b) fail to reject the null hypothesis the tolerance is +/- 0.05. question 3 a business researcher wants to compare her observed distribution of frequency data to an expected distribution of data using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test. the data are given below. the degrees of freedom for this test are: observed expected 12 9 20 7 38 32 24 38 18 20 11 7 a 10 b 4 c 6 d 5 question 4 a business researcher wants to compare her observed distribution of frequency data to an expected distribution of data using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test. the data are given below. the observed chi-square value for this test is: observed expected 12 9 20 7 38 32 24 38 18 20 11 7 a 34.73 b 41.46 c 47.63 d 33.9 question 5 a researcher wants to test the following observed distribution of values to determine if the values are uniformly distributed. the researcher is using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test for this analysis. 213, 219, 209, 210, 216, 199, 217, 213 for α = .10, the researcher's decision is to: a reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is not uniform. b fail to reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is not uniform. c reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is uniform. d fail to reject the null hypothesis that the observed distribution is uniform. question 6 the following percentages come from a national survey of the ages of prerecorded-music shoppers. a local survey produced the observed values. does the evidence in the observed data indicate that we should reject the national survey distribution for local prerecorded-music shoppers? use   find the observed value of chi-square. round the answer to 2 decimal places. age precent from survey   10-14 9 22 15-19 23 50 20-24 22 43 25-29 14 29 30-34 10 19   35 22 49 the observed x (squared) = there is a) enough b) not enough evidence to declare that the distribution of observed frequencies is different from the distribution of expected frequencies. the tolerance is +/- 0.05. .70
