Use this TEMPLATE to submit your Unit 9 Assignment 2. (Yes, you must use this!) Be sure to see my worksheet named "Example" for examples on filling the template. (The "Example" worksheet is visible at the bottom.) I have shown every type of situation, so try to model your results after the ones shown. When determining the two hypothesis for each question, how do you know "what" to compare the population parameter to? Honestly, we don't! But, we can make an educated guess. First, since we have sample proportions and means to consider, remember that the sample statistics always supports the ALTERNATE hypothesis . (Why? Hypothesis testing always tries to reject the null hypothesis, thus we must have some evidence (the sample statistics) that the alternate is correct. Outside of this requirement, feel free to use any "logical" value in your hypothesis test. A few notes, however: 1. We always think the alternate hypothesis is correct! This means the sample statistics (sample proportion or mean) supports the alternate hypothesis. 2. You probably want to WRITE the alternate hypothesis first. Then, the null is just the opposite. (Our textbook always shows just = on the null, but it should be the opposite of the alternate.) 3. The SAMPLE proportion or mean (from the survey) never shows up in the hypotheses. 4. On Questions 1-4, we are using the Sample PROPORTION to estimate the Population PROPORTION; on Questions 5-6, we are using the Sample MEAN to estimate the Population MEAN. Thus, we use different formulas for their confidence intervals, and for their test statistics in the hypothesis tests. 5. The two hypotheses MUST be the exact opposites of each other. We can not put one value in Ho and another in Ha; that simply isn't logical. 6. Make sure your FORMULAs show up in the formula area. DO NOT replace formulas with numbers. I must be able to see "how" you calculate your confidence intervals and test statistics! Your Unit 9 Assignment 2 MUST be submitted using this Template. Feel free to add additional work at the bottom, but the top must remain. Be sure to post questions inside the "Ask Instructor" discussion topic. Note: See the Worksheet named "Example" (visible at bottom) for examples of how to fill-in the yellow boxes.

In the current-formula, the population proportions are shown as 0.55, 0.50, 0.60 for the first three questions. My work below uses made-up data. Remember that the value you use in your hypotheses is UP TO YOU!! You can compare your population parameters to any value, just remember that the sample statistic must AGREE with your alternate hypothesis. We always try to reject the null hypothesis, so that means we must have evidence (via the sample statistic) that the alternate hypothesis is true.
