3 Part 1
1. H0: p = 0.3 vs Ha: p ≠ 0.3. A survey used to test these hypotheses found a count of 38 and a sample
size of n = 100.
b. Using StatKey, generate a randomization distribution using at least 5000 samples. Remember
to: select Edit Data to input sample information, and to edit the null hypothesis.
2. H0: p = 0.7 vs Ha: p ≠ 0.7. A survey used to test these hypotheses found a count of 320 and a sample
size of n = 500.
b. Using StatKey, generate a randomization distribution using at least 5000 samples. Remember to
select Edit Data to input sample information, and to edit the null hypothesis.
3. H0: p = 0.6 vs Ha: p < 0.6. A survey used to test these hypotheses found a count of 110 and a sample
size of n = 200.
b. Using StatKey, generate a randomization distribution using at least 5000 samples. Remember to
select Edit Data to input sample information, and to edit the null hypothesis.
4. Considering your p-values from questions 1 – 3 above, which of the statements below is true?
A. The p-value for Question 2 indicates the most evidence in support of the corresponding
alternative hypotheses.
B. For Question 1, we accept the null hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05 and of 0.10.
C. For Question 2, we would reject the null at a significance level of 0.10, but not at a significance
level of 0.05.
D. For Question 3, the conclusion would change if it were a two-tailed test when using the same
sample statistic.
3. Use StatKey to generate a randomization distribution for these hypotheses. Use the data set ‘ICU
Admissions’ available on StatKey.
4. Which two of the options below are correct interpretations of the p-value (insert your calculated p-
value from (3) in the blank):
A. If there is no linear association between systolic blood pressure and heart rate in the
population, the chance of seeing a sample correlation of -0.057 or less is _______________.
B. If there is a negative linear association between systolic blood pressure and heart rate, the
chance of seeing a sample correlation of -0.057 or less is _____________.
C. If there is no linear association between systolic blood pressure and heart rate in the
population, the proportion of samples with a sample correlation of -0.057 or less is _______.
D. If there is a negative linear association between systolic blood pressure and heart rate, the
proportion of samples with a sample correlation of -0.057 or less is _______________.
7. Based on the p-value you calculated in part 3, what would the correct formal conclusion be if we
were testing a two-sided hypothesis with the same sample?
A. Reject H0 and accept Ha
B. Reject Ha and accept H0
C. Fail to reject H0
D. Fail to reject Ha
3. Use StatKey to generate a randomization distribution for these hypotheses. Use the data set ‘Home
Prices - Canton’. You may need to change the null value.
7. What would the p-value and conclusion be if we decided to make the alternative hypothesis two-
tailed?
8. Select everything that would result in a p-value larger than that in part 3 above:
A. Making the alternative hypothesis two-sided.
B. Changing the null value from 92 to 96
C. Changing the null value from 92 to 90
(note – you can do these things in StatKey to see what happens, but you should be able to answer
this question without it)
9. Did the sample from Activity 2 or Activity 3 provide more evidence for the corresponding alternative
hypothesis?
A. Activity 2
B. Activity 3
C. Both Activity 2 and Activity 3 provided the same amount of evidence
