|z| < 2.054 : Do not reject the null hypothesis.

|z| 2.054 : Reject the null hypothesis.

b) z = 2.81

c) Reject.

d) The p-value is 0.005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and the subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Population 1:

Sample of 42, standard deviation of 3.3, mean of 101, so:

$\mu_1 = 101$

$s_1 = \frac{3.3}{\sqrt{42}} = 0.51$

Population 2:

Sample of 53, standard deviation of 3.6, mean of 99, so:

$\mu_2 = 99$

$s_2 = \frac{3.6}{\sqrt{53}} = 0.495$

H0 : μ1 = μ2

Can also be written as:

$H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2

Can also be written as:

$H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error .

a. State the decision rule.

0.04 significance level.

Two-tailed test(test if the means are different), so between the 0 + (4/2) = 2nd and the 100 - (4/2) = 98th percentile of the z-distribution, and looking at the z-table, we get that:

|z| < 2.054 : Do not reject the null hypothesis.

|z| 2.054 : Reject the null hypothesis.

b. Compute the value of the test statistic.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0$

From the samples:

$X = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 101 - 99 = 2$

$s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.51^2 + 0.495^2} = 0.71$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$z = \frac{2 - 0}{0.71}$

z = 2.81

c. What is your decision regarding H0?

|z| = 2.81 2.054 , which means that the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

d. What is the p-value?

Probability that the means differ by at least 2, either plus or minus, which is P(|z| > 2.81), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -2.81.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.81 has a p-value of 0.0025.

2*0.0025 = 0.005

The p-value is 0.005.

Amovie producer conducted a survey after the screening of his movie to find out how the film would be received by viewers from different age groups. the columns in the two-way table indicate the numbers of viewers who rated the film on a four-point scale: excellent, good, average, and poor. viewer's age group excellent good average poor marginal totals 16-25 52 42 12 7 113 26-35 33 50 5 9 97 36-45 58 12 28 34 132 which of these observations is supported by the data in the table? note: a rating of good or excellent means the audience liked the movie, while a rating of poor means the audience disliked the movie. a. the majority of the audience in the 26-35 age group disliked the movie. b. among those who liked the movie, the majority were in the oldest age group. c. among those who disliked the movie, the majority were in the 26-35 age group. d. the majority of the audience in the 16-25 age group liked the movie. e. the majority of the audience from all the age groups disliked the movie
