True or False? In Exercises 5–10, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, rewrite it as a true statement.


A statistical hypothesis is a statement about a sample.

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand the definition of a statistical hypothesis: A statistical hypothesis is a statement or claim about a population parameter (e.g., population mean, proportion, variance) rather than a sample.
Analyze the given statement: The problem claims that a statistical hypothesis is a statement about a sample.
Compare the definition with the statement: Since a statistical hypothesis pertains to the population and not the sample, the given statement is false.
Rewrite the statement to make it true: A statistical hypothesis is a statement about a population parameter, not a sample.
Conclude the reasoning: The corrected statement aligns with the definition of a statistical hypothesis, ensuring clarity and accuracy.

Statistical Hypothesis

A statistical hypothesis is a specific claim or assertion about a population parameter, such as a mean or proportion. It can be tested using statistical methods to determine its validity. Hypotheses are typically formulated in pairs: the null hypothesis (H0), which represents no effect or no difference, and the alternative hypothesis (H1), which represents the effect or difference being tested.

Population vs. Sample

In statistics, a population refers to the entire group of individuals or instances about which we seek to draw conclusions, while a sample is a subset of that population selected for analysis. Hypotheses are generally concerned with population parameters, not sample statistics, as they aim to infer characteristics of the whole population based on the sample data.

True/False Statements in Statistics

In statistical exercises, determining the truth value of a statement often involves understanding the definitions and relationships between concepts. A statement can be true or false based on established statistical principles, and if false, it can be rewritten to reflect the correct understanding, such as clarifying that a statistical hypothesis pertains to a population rather than a sample.

Sprinkler Systems A manufacturer of sprinkler systems designed for fire protection claims that the average activating temperature is at least 135°F. To test this claim, you randomly select a sample of 32 systems and find the mean activation temperature to be 133°F. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.3°F. At alpha=0.10, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim?

Faculty Classroom Hours The dean of a university estimates that the mean number of classroom hours per week for full-time faculty is 11.0. As a member of the student council, you want to test this claim. A random sample of the number of classroom hours for eight full-time faculty for one week is shown in the table at the left. At α=0.01, can you reject the dean’s claim?
