Suppose we are making predictions of the dependent variable y for specific values of the independent variable x using a simple linear regression model holding the confidence level constant. Let Width (C.I) = the width of the confidence interval for the average value y for a given value of x, and Width (P.I) = the width of the prediction interval for a single value y for a given value of x. Which of the following statements is true?
Width (C.I) = 0.5 Width (P.I)
Width (C.I) = Width (P.I)
Width (C.I) > Width (P.I)
Width (C.I) < Width (P.I)

- The standard error of most sample estimators approaches zero as the sample size increases, so almost any difference between the sample statistic and the hypothesized parameter value, no matter how tiny, will be significant if the sample size is large enough. Researchers who deal with large samples must expect “significant” effects, even when an effect is too slight to have any practical importance. Is an improvement of 0.2 mpg in fuel economy important to Toyota buyers? Is a 0.5 percent loss of market share important to Hertz? Is a laptop battery life increase of 15 minutes important to Dell customers? Such questions depend not so much on statistics as on a cost/benefit calculation. Since resources are always scarce, a dollar spent on a quality improvement always has an opportunity cost (the foregone alternative). If we spend money to make a certain product improvement, then some other project may have to be shelved. Since we can’t do everything, we must ask whether a proposed product…arrow_forwardSuppose a sample size of 103 was used to conduct a left tailed hypothesis test for a single population mean.

- Under alpha 0.05 should you reject or retain the null hypothesisarrow_forwardalso final option We should not reject the null hypothesis because t0>tα. So, at the 5% significance level, the data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average speed of vehicles traveling on the highway is greater than 61miles per hour.arrow_forwardSuppose that a researcher decides that he MUST obtain a Type 1 error level of no more than 0.01 in order to reject the null hypothesis. After analyzing his data he finds that the results are significant at p = 0.05 but not at p = 0.01. If he is not able to change the maximum allowed Type 1 error level, then the researcher should Question 5 options: retain the null hypothesis because 0.05 is greater than 0.01. retain the null hypothesis because 0.05 is merely sampling error. reject the null hypothesis because 0.05 is close to 0.01. reject the null hypothesis because 0.05 is greater than 0.01.arrow_forward
- The local swim team is considering offering a new semi-private class aimed at entry-level swimmers, but needs at minimum number of swimmers to sign up in order to be cost effective. Last year's data showed that during 8 swim sessions the average number of entry-level swimmers attending was 15. Suppose the instructor wants to conduct a hypothesis test to test the population mean is less than 15. Which one of the following are the null Ho and alternative H, hypotheses for this test? 1.

People with diabetes have lower systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes. People with diabetes have equal systolic blood pressure when compared to people without diabetes. People with diabetes have a systolic blood pressure equal to or lower than people without diabetes. None of these are a null hypothesis.arrow_forwardA research report includes the statement, “ z = 1.18, p > .05.” What happened in the hypothesis test?

The obtained sample mean was very unlikely if the null hypothesis is true, and the test failed to reject H0. The obtained sample mean was very unlikely if the null hypothesis is true, so H0 was rejected.

(c) Explain what it would mean to make a Type II error. (a) State the hypotheses. Ho: H,: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) (b) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The sample evidence led the researcher to believe the mean of the monthly cell phone bill is different from $48.97, when in fact the mean of the bill is $48.97. B. The sample evidence did not lead the researcher to believe the mean of the monthly cell phone bill is less than $48.97, when in fact the mean of the bill is less than $48.97. C.
