Question

of 19.22. A random sample of salespeople was taken and the number of cars each sold is listed her.
79 43 58 66 101 63 79 33
58 71 60 101 74 55 88

(2) (66.099; 71.111)
(3) (686.000; 255.542)
(4) (68.600; 78.327)
(5) (588.730; 783.270)
ANSWER:2

(2) (0.765; 0.835)
(3) (0.770; 0.830)

ANSWER:4

15-Which statement is incorrect?
(1) A null hypothesis is a statement about the value of a population parameter; it is put up for testing in
the face of numerical evidence.
(2) An alternative hypothesis is an assertion that holds if the null hypothesis is false.
(3) A one-tail test is one in which a null hypothesis can be rejected by an extreme result in one direction
only.
(4) A two-tail test is one in which a null hypothesis can be rejected by an extreme result occurring in either
direction.
(5) A p–value greater than 0.05 means that the null hypothesis can be rejected at the 5% significance level.
