Question 7 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)
A social scientist collects information about study time for a random sample of 40 students with the intention of testing the hypotheses = 2 hours per night versus 2 hours per night where μ = the true mean number of hours of study time per night for students. The power of this test to reject the null hypothesis when μ = 2.25 is 0.35. What is the correct interpretation of the value 0.35?
Answer
A
The probability that this test will reject that the true mean number of hours of study time per night for students is 2 when the true mean is not 2.25 is 0.35.B
The probability that this test will reject that the true mean number of hours of study time per night for students is 2 when the true mean is really 2.25 is 0.35.C
The probability that this test will fail to reject that the true mean number of hours of study time per night for students is 2 when the true mean is not 2.25 is 0.35.D
The probability that this test will fail to reject that the true mean number of hours of study time per night for students is 2 when the true mean is really 2.25 is 0.35.
