Problem 2: P 0,14 Significance Level 0,1 X 9 N 40 ̅ 0,225

For Problem 2: - The company tested 36 helmets and found the average force experienced was 298g with a standard deviation of 8g. - At a 10% significance level, the p-value is 0.0713 which is less than 0.1 so we can conclude the helmets experience less than 300g on average during testing. For Problem 3: - The real estate investor sampled 40 recently sold houses and found 9 sold at or above the asking price to test if the proportion has increased from 14% last year. - With a p-value of 0.060571 which is less than the 10% significance level, we can conclude the proportion

PROBLEM 2

A company that manufactures helmets wants to test their helmets to make sure they pass SNELL
certification. One of the tests the helmets are required to undergo is a test that simulates real-
world impacts. During the test, crash dummies must, on average, experience a force of nearly
300 g in order to pass. The company tests 36 helmets and finds the dummy experienced an
average of 298 g with a standard deviation of 8 g.

a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to determine whether the company's helmets
experience, on average, less than 300 g during the SNELL test.

 HO: µ ≥ 300, HA: µ < 300

b. Calculate the value of the test statistic, and find the p-value at a 10% significance level.

x́−μ0 298−300
 Test statistic : t= = =−1,5
s/√n 8/ √ 36
 p-value : 0.0713 , sejak p-value < α  0.0713 < 0,1
P (t ≤ -1,5)= T.DIST(-1,5;36-1;TRUE)

c. At the 10% significance level, can you conclude that the company's helmets experience
less than 300 g during the SNELL test? Explain.

 Sejak p-value 0.0713 < 0.1, we reject H0  At the 10% significance level, we can
conclude the company's helmets experience, on average, less than 300 g during the
SNELL test

PROBLEM 3

A real estate investor thinks the real estate market has bottomed out. One of the variables he
examined to arrive at this conclusion was the proportion of houses sold at or above the asking
price. Last year, the proportion of houses sold at or above the asking price was 14%. The real
estate investor takes a random sample of 40 recently sold houses and finds that nine of them are
selling at or above the asking price.

a. Specify the population parameter to be tested.

p0 = 0,14
Significance Level = 0,1
x = 9
n = 40
𝑝 ̅ = 0,225

b. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to determine whether the proportion of houses
sold at or above the asking price has increased.

 H0: p ≤14%
HA: p >14%  p0 = 0,14

c. Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value.  ṕ=x /n = 9/40 = 0,225
ṕ− p 0 0,225−0,14
 z= = = 1,5493
√( p 0 ¿(1−po)/n) ¿ √(0,14 ¿ (1−0,14)/40)¿
 Since HA: p > 0.14, this is a Right-tailed test. For a Right-tailed test, p-value = P(Z ≥
1,5493) = 0.060571
 P (Z ≥ 1,5493)= 1-NORM.DIST(1,5493;0;1;TRUE)

d. At the 10% significance level, can you conclude that the proportion of houses sold at or
above the asking price has increased?

 α = 0,1 , p-value = 0.060571, Since p-value < α , we reject H0  At the 10% significance
level, we can conclude that the proportion of houses sold at or above the asking price
increased by more than 14%
