In Exercises 7–10, describe type I and type II errors for a hypothesis test of the claim.


An energy bar maker claims that the mean number of grams of carbohydrates in one bar is less than 25.

In Exercises 7–10, explain whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. A nonprofit consumer organization says that the standard deviation of the starting prices of its top-rated vehicles for a recent year is no more than $2900.

In Exercises 7–10, explain how you should interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis.

A nonprofit consumer organization says that the standard deviation of the starting prices of its top-rated vehicles for a recent year is no more than $2900.

In Exercises 7–10, explain how you should interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis.

A nonprofit consumer organization says that the standard deviation of the starting prices of its top-rated vehicles for a recent year is no more than $2900.

In Exercises 7–10, state the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim,

An energy bar maker claims that the mean number of grams of carbohydrates in one bar is less than 25.

In Exercises 7–10, (c) explain whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.

An energy bar maker claims that the mean number of grams of carbohydrates in one bar is less than 25.

In Exercises 11 and 12, find the P-value for the hypothesis test with the standardized test statistic z. Decide whether to reject H0 for the level of significance α.

Left-tailed test, z = -0.94, α = 0.05

In Exercises 11 and 12, find the P-value for the hypothesis test with the standardized test statistic z. Decide whether to reject H0 for the level of significance α.

Two-tailed test, z = 2.57, α = 0.10

In Exercises 13–16, find the critical value(s) and rejection region(s) for the type of z-test with level of significance . Include a graph with your answer.

Left-tailed test, α=0.02
