Assume that a hypothesis test of the given claim will be conducted. Identify the type I or type II error for the test.
9) A medical researcher claims that 12% of children suffer from a certain disorder. Identify the type I error for the

A) Reject the claim that the percentage of children who suffer from the disorder is different from 12% when that
percentage really is different from 12%.
B) Fail to reject the claim that the percentage of children who suffer from the disorder is equal to 12% when that
percentage is actually 12%.
C) Fail to reject the claim that the percentage of children who suffer from the disorder is equal to 12% when that

original claim.
13) A test of sobriety involves measuring the subject's motor skills. Twenty randomly selected sober subjects take the

hypotheses.

11) H0 : p = 0.64. H1 : p > 0.64. Test statistic: z = 1.64. P-value: p = 0.0505.
Critical value: z = 1.645. Fail to reject null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that
the proportion with lawn mowers in Omaha is 0.64.
12) H0 : p = 0.5. H1 : p > 0.5. Test statistic: z = 0.99. P-value: p = 0.1611.
Critical value: z = 2.33. Fail to reject null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that more than
half of all those using the drug experience relief.
13) H0 : = 35.0. H1 : 35.0. Test statistic: t = 7.252. Critical values: t = -2.861, 2.861. Reject H 0 . There is sufficient evidence
to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean is equal to 35.0.
14) H0 : Employment status and response are independent.
H1 : Employment status and response are dependent.
Test statistic: 2 = 5.942. Critical value: 2 = 4.605.
Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that response and employment
status are independent.
