Amanda is the owner of a small chain of dental offices. She sent out the yearly satisfaction survey to 600 randomly selected patients and received 544 surveys back.
When looking through the results, she noticed that the downtown dental office staff had 84% of clients reporting satisfaction with services, while the uptown dental
office staff had 76% of clients reporting satisfaction with services.
Which of the following sets shows Amanda's null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis?
Null Hypothesis: The proportion of clients satisfied at the uptown office is 76%.
Alternative Hypothesis: There is no difference in the satisfaction between the uptown and the downtown clients.
UNIT 5 — MILESTONE 5
Null Hypothesis: The proportion of clients satisfied at the downtown office is equal to the proportion of clients satisfied at the uptown office.
Alternative Hypothesis: There is a difference in the satisfaction between the uptown and the downtown clients.
Null Hypothesis: The proportion of clients satisfied at the downtown office is 84%.
Alternative Hypothesis: Uptown clients are more satisfied with the dental office staff than downtown clients.
Null Hypothesis: The proportion of clients satisfied at the downtown office is greater than the proportion of clients satisfied at the uptown office.
Alternative Hypothesis: Downtown clients are less satisfied with the dental office staff than uptown clients.
RATIONALE
Recall that the null hypothesis is always of no difference.
So the null hypothesis (Ho) is that the proportion of patients satisfied at the uptown clinic = proportion satisfied at the downtown clinic. This would indicate no
difference
between the two groups.
The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that there is difference in the proportion of patients satisfied between the two groups.

Which of the following is an example of a parameter?
Half of the receipts at the coffee shop include web address for giving feedback.
9047 out of 531,310 citizens voted in the special election for city council.
All of the members of the community watch group gave their availability to volunteer over the summer.
3.5% of the restaurant goers are given a survey to fill out.

Recall a parameter comes from the entire set of interest, the
population. Since they are looking at all members of a community here, their availability to volunteer would be an example of a parameter.

Emile has calculated a one-tailed z-statistic of -1.97 and wants to see if it is significant at the 5% significance level.
What is the critical value for the 5% significance level? Answer choices are rounded to the hundredths place.
-1.04
-1.64

-2.33
RATIONALE
Recall that when a test statistic is smaller than in a left-tailed
test we would reject H₀. The closest value to 5%, or 0.05, in the table would be between 0.0505 and 0.495.
0.0505 corresponds with a z-score of -1.64
0.0495 corresponds with a z-score of -1.65.
We need to calculate the average of the two z-scores to get a z-score of -1.645.

Carl recorded the number of customers who visited his new store during the week:
Day Customers
Monday 17
Tuesday 13
Wednesday 14
Thursday 16
He expected to have 15 customers each day. To answer whether the number of customers follows a uniform distribution, a chi-square test for goodness of fit should
be performed. (alpha = 0.10)
What is the chi-squared test statistic? Answers are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
