A professional basketball player is averaging 21 points per game. He will be retiring at the end of this season. The team has multiple options to replace him. However, the owner feels that signing a replacement is only justified, if he can average more than 22 points per game. Which of the following are the appropriate hypotheses for this problem? |
| | A) | H0: μ ≤ 21 vs. H.: μ > 21 |
| | B) | H0: μ ≤ 22 vs. H.: μ > 22 |
| | C) | H0: μ ≥ 21 vs. H.: μ < 21 |
| | D) | H0: μ ≥ 22 vs. H.: μ < 22 |

The manager of the quality department for a tire manufacturing company wants to study the average tensile strength of rubber used in making a certain brand of radial tire. The population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is known. She uses a Z test to test the null hypothesis that the mean tensile strength is less than or equal to 800 pounds per square inch. The calculated Z test Statistic is a positive value that leads to a p-value of .067 for the test. If the significance level is .10, the null hypothesis would be rejected. |
| | A) | True |
| | B) | False |
