I hypothesized that girls in my class have the same blood pressure levels as boys. The probability value for my null hypothesis was 0.15. So I conclude that the blood pressures of the girls were higher than boys’. Which kind of mistake did I make? a. Type I error b. Type II error c. Type I and Type II error d. I did not make any mistake If a statistical test result is not significant at the 0.05 level, then we can conclude: a. It is not significant at 0.10 level b. It must be significant at 0.01 level c. It must be significant above 0.05 level d. It is not significant at 0.01 level A researcher posed a null hypothesis that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test. She randomly sampled 100 girls and 100 boys in a community and gave them the standard memory test. The mean score for girls was 70 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. The mean score for boys was 65 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. What is the standard error of the difference in means? If power is big, you can assume: a. The significance level set by the researcher must be high b. We increase the probability of type I error c. Your study result will be more likely to be inconclusive d. The difference between the means is more likely to be detected If the probability that you will correctly reject a false null hypothesis is 0.80 at 0.05 significance level.

1. I hypothesized that girls in my class have the same blood
pressure levels as boys. The probability value for my null
hypothesis was 0.15. So I conclude that the blood pressures of
the girls were higher than boys’. Which kind of mistake did I
make?
a. Type I error
b. Type II error
c. Type I and Type II error
d. I did not make any mistake
If a statistical test result is not significant at the 0.05 level, then
we can conclude:
a. It is not significant at 0.10 level
b. It must be significant at 0.01 level
c. It must be significant above 0.05 level
d. It is not significant at 0.01 level

I am looking to move to either Mississippi or Arkansas,
depending on the cost of housing.
Below are the costs (in thousands, hypothetically) of 12 houses
in each location based upon a simple random selection:

3. Mississippi: 155 142 149 130 151 163 15
1 142 156 133 138 161
Arkansas: 133 140 142 131 134 129 12
8 140 140 140 137 143
Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean cost
of houses in Mississippi is greater than the mean cost in
Arkansas. Be sure to give the hypotheses, the test statistic with
a p-value, and a conclusion.
