Overview
To access the pages and assignments listed, use Modules in the Left Navigation.
You will be working on the Semester Project throughout the term in parts as Project Part Assignments. Additional information can be found on the Semester Project Information page. You will get feedback from your instructor on the parts of the project in the Project Part as listed. Use that feedback to improve that portion of the project.
- Project Part 6: Hypothesis Test for the Population Mean
- 1) Using the 35 values you created for Project Part 1, you will test one of the Hypothesis Statements below.
- If you did not collect the 35 values yet, review Project Part 1 and the Data Sets for Project Part and the Semester Project page, collect them now.
- 2) See Below for your Null & Alternate Hypotheses.
- 3) Ensure your data is in L1, and then use the Student T Hypothesis Test
- Stat > Tests > Line 2: T-test > Data > = # (use the appropriate value from below), List: L1, Freq: 1, : based on your Alternate Hypothesis below, Calculate.
- 4) Test the claim using α = 0.05
- 5) Include the following:
- t: test statistic
- p: p-value
- 6) Using at least 2 quality sentences answer the following:
- Based on the information above, should the Null Hypothesis be rejected or not?
- Explain your choice by comparing the p-value with α = 0.05.
- 7) Using at least 2 quality sentences write your conclusions.
- Based on the information above, what conclusions can be drawn about the population mean.
- Is there sufficient evidence to support your claim about the population mean (HA), why or why not?
| First Initial of your First Name | Null Hypothesis (H0) | Alternate Hypothesis (HA) |
|---|---|---|
| A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H | μ = # | μ ≠ # |
| I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P | μ ≤ # | μ > # |
| Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z | μ ≥ # | μ < # |
| Your Data Set | Use this value for the # in your Hypotheses Statements |
|---|---|
| 2013 Average Annual Number Cancer of the colon and rectum (colorectal), mortality | 505 |
| 2015 Average Annual Number Cancer of the colon and rectum (colorectal), mortality | 506 |
| 2017 Average Annual Number Cancer of the colon and rectum (colorectal), mortality | 509 |
| 2013 Average Annual Number Melanoma, mortality | 88 |
| 2015 Average Annual Number Melanoma, mortality | 89 |
| 2017 Average Annual Number Melanoma, mortality | 84 |
When working on each part of the Semester Project the Best Practice is to type the information onto the appropriate slide of the TemplateDownload Template, removing the directions, and then copy and paste your work and results into the text submission area of the assignment.
You may submit the project part as a text submission, Word Document, or the PowerPoint Slide from the Template (only that slide!) Do not submit your work as an embedded image in one of those files. Images cannot be accepted for these assignments. (File Types allowed: .doc,.docx,ppt,.pptx)
