Question

Attitudes Refer to Exercises 4 and 10 . What conclusion would you make at the $\alpha =0.05$ level?

Short answer

There is convincing evidence to help the claim that older students have better attitudes toward school, on average.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1:Given information

$\alpha =0.05$level

Step 2:Explaination

$P=0.0101$

$\alpha =0.05$

Given claim is mean is better than $115$

The claim is either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis statement is that the population proportion is equal to the value given in the claim. If the null hypothesis is the claim, then the alternative hypothesis statement is the opposite of the null hypothesis.

$H_0:\mu =115$

$H_1:\mu >115$

If the $P$-value is smaller than the significance level , then reject the null hypothesis:

$0.1265>0.05\Rightarrow \text{Fail to reject}{H}_0$

There is not enough convincing evidence to help the claim that less than $75\%$of the students at researcher's school finished their homework last night.

$0.0101<0.05\Rightarrow \text{Reject}{H}_0$

There is convincing evidence to help the claim that older students have better attitudes toward school, on average.
