a) The mean age of graduate students at a University is at most 31 y ears with a standard deviation of two years. A random sample of 15 graduate students is taken. The sample mean is 32 years and the sample standard deviation is three years. Are the data significant at the 1% level? The p-value is 0.0264. State the null and alternative hypotheses and interpret the p-value. Write information given with correct symbols. Hypothesis interpret the p-value. b) A bottle of water is labeled as containing 16 fluid ounces of water. You believe it is less than that. What type of test would you use? c) Assume the null hypothesis states that the mean is at most 12. Is this a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test? d) What should you do if α = p-value?

A.)

H0: μ ≤ 31

H1: μ > 31

B.)

H0: μ ≥ 16

H1: μ < 16

C.)

Right tailed test

D.)

If Pvalue is less than or equal to α ; we reject the Null

Step-by-step explanation:

The significance level , α = 0.01

The Pvalue = 0.0264

The decision region :

Reject the null if :

Pvalue < α

0.0264 > 0.01

Since Pvalue is greater than α ; then, we fail to reject the Null ;

Then there is no significant evidence that the mean graduate age is more Than 31.

B.)

H0: μ ≥ 16

H1: μ < 16

Null Fluid contains 16

Alternative hypothesis, fluid contains less than 16

One sample t - test

C.)

Null hypothesis :

H0 : μ ≤ 12

. The direction of the sign in the alternative hypothesis signifies the type of test or tht opposite direction of the sign in the null hypothesis.

Hence, this is a right tailed test ; Alternative hypothesis, H1 : μ > 12

d.)

If Pvalue is less than or equal to α ; we reject the Null.
