Statistics and Probability Exercises

The document provides instructions for a statistics and probability exercise. Students are directed to form groups of 5, work cooperatively on exercises in class without leaving except for necessity, and submit a single output per group. The exercises involve expressing claims in symbolic form, identifying null and alternative hypotheses, determining if tests are one-tailed or two-tailed, and identifying type I and II errors. Students are also asked to state conclusions in non-technical terms for rejecting or failing to reject the null hypothesis.

a. Express the claim in symbolic form


b. Identify the null hypothesis, H o.
c. Identify the alternative hypothesis, H a.
d. Identify the test as being two-tailed, left-tailed or right- tailed
e. Identify the type I error for the test.
f. Identify the type II error for the test.
g. Assume that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis. State the
conclusion in non-technical terms; be sure to address the original claim.
h. Assume that the conclusion is failure to reject the null hypothesis. State
the conclusion in non-technical terms; be sure to address the original
