Hypothesis Testing Activity Worksheets

1) The document presents two hypothesis tests. The first tests whether the mean lifespan in Honolulu is less than 77 years using a sample of 20 lifespans. 2) The second tests whether the average left foot length is greater than the average right foot length using a sample of foot measurements. 3) For each test, the document prompts for the type of test, whether it is right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed, the critical value (t or z), the calculated test statistic value, and whether to reject or not reject the null hypothesis based on the critical and calculated values.
