If a test of a hypothesis has a type I error probability of 0.01, we mean

A random variable X has a probability distribution as follows: X 0 1 2 3 P(X) k 5k 10k 4k   Then the P(X > 2.0) is equal to

Which of the following statements about the median is not true?

When the value of  alpha (significance level) is increased, the probability of committing a Type 1 error is

A researcher wishes to determine whether a person’s age is related to his HDL cholesterol. Answer all of the questions that remain using the data below. Age, x             34        44        46        32        55        52        58 HDL, y            52        57        34        56        35        40        44   a. Determine the correlation between the age and the HDL level. Work is not necessary. b. Find the equation of the regression line (LSRL). Work is not necessary. c. Interpret the meaning of the slope in context of this problem. d. Interpret the meaning of the y-intercept in context of this problem. e. Use the regression line to predict the HDL level for a person who is 49 years old. f. Calculate the coefficient of determination for this LSRL model.            

The result of a hypothesis test is called “statistically significant” whenever

An experiment in chicken breeding results in offspring having very curly, slightly curly, or normal feathers. If this is the results of a single gene system, then the proportions of offspring in the three phenotypes should be 0.25, 0.50, and 0.25 respectively. In one such experiment, 100 chickens were born in which 31 had very curly feathers, 57 had slightly curly feathers and 12 had normal feathers. Carry out a test to determine whether the genetic model seems to hold in this setting. Use a 5% level of significance. Show all work for full credit. a. State the null and alternate hypotheses. b. Compute the test statistic. c. Find the critical value and/or the p value. d. Make a decision and justify it using the critical value and/or the p-value. e. Record an appropriate conclusion in context of this problem.

If a hypothesis is not rejected at the 5% level of significance is
