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, (a) state the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim.

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.

Interpreting a P-Value In Exercises 3–8, the P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject H0 when the level of significance is (a)α=0.01, (b) α=0.05 , and (c) α=0.10.

P = 0.0838

Interpreting a P-Value In Exercises 3–8, the P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject H0 when the level of significance is (a)α=0.01, (b) α=0.05 , and (c) α=0.10.

P = 0.0062

Can a critical value for the chi-square test be negative? Explain.

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, 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.
