Question Researchers are interested in the mean age of a certain population. A random sample of 10 individuals drawn from the population of interest has a mean of 27. Assuming that the population is approximately normally distributed with variance 20,can we conclude that the mean is different from 30 years ? (α=0.05). If the p-value is 0.0340 how can we use it in making a decision? �

Q.3 You have estimated the following equation: = 607.3 + 3.85 Income – 0.0423 Income2, where TestScore is the average of the reading and math scores on the Stanford 9 standardized test administered to 5th grade students in 420 California school districts in 1998 and 1999. Income is the average annual per capita income in the school district, measured in thousands of 1998 dollars. What does the equation suggest? (hint: it’ll help if you find out what income level results in the maximum test score) What is the predicted effect of income on test scores If income increased from 10 to 11 ($10,000 to $11,000).

The worldwide market share for the Chrome web browser was 56.43% in a recent month. Suppose that you decide to select a sample of 100 students at your university and you find that 60 use the Chrome web browser. a. Use the five-step p-value approach to determine whether there is evidence that the market share for the Chrome web browser at your university is greater than the worldwide market share of 56.43%. (Use the 0.05 level of significance.) b. Suppose that the sample size is n = 600, and you find that 60% of the sample of students at your university (360 out of 600) use the Chrome web browser. Use the five-step p-value approach to try to determine whether there is evidence that the market share for the Chrome web browser at your university is greater than the worldwide market share of 56.43%. (Use the 0.05 level of significance.) c. Discuss the effect that sample size has on hypothesis testing. d. What do you think are your chances of rejecting any null hypothesis concerning a population proportion if a sample size of n = 20 is used?
