Question

1.

You use your calculator to perform a test of significance (z test). The calculator reports a P-value = 0.021.

This result is

not significant at the 2.5% level.

significant at the 5% and 1% level.

significant at the 5% level but not the 1% level.

not significant at the 5% level.

2.

Tarantulas are large, long-lived arachnids (spiders). They can be found in the southwest U.S. and in South and Central America. Adults average ? = 5 inches long (body length) . Biologists in Guatemala catch and measure a sample of 49 tarantulas.

The mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x? for the sample of body lengths for 49 tarantulas

5, 1/49 the population standard deviation.

5/7, 1/7 the population standard deviation.

5/49, 1/49 the population standard deviation.

5, 1/7 the population standard deviation.

A.

not significant at the 2.5% level.

B.

significant at the 5% and 1% level.

C.

significant at the 5% level but not the 1% level.

D.

not significant at the 5% level.

5/7, 1/7 the population standard deviation.

C.

5/49, 1/49 the population standard deviation.

D.

5, 1/7 the population standard deviation.

Explanation / Answer

Solution :

1 .

C . significant at the 5% level but not the 1% level.

2.

Here infiltration is incomplete because no standard deviation value for population is given

n = 49 and mu=5 hence possible answers would be A or D
