17. Question: A car magazine claims that 68% of car owners follow a normal maintenance schedule. A mechanic does not think this is accurate, and so he wants to show that the percentage of people who follow a normal maintenance schedule is not equal to 68%….. Identify the null hypothesis, H0, and the alternative hypothesis, Ha, in terms of the parameter p.H0: p=0.68; Ha: p≠0.68

22. Question: A mattress store advertises that their beds last at least 5 years, on average. A consumer group thinks that they do not last that long and wants to set up a hypothesis test….. If μ denotes the average time, in years, that the mattresses last, what are the null and alternative hypotheses in this situation?
23. Question: Which of the following results in a null hypothesis p≥44 and alternative hypothesis p<0.44?
24. Question: Which of the following results in a null hypothesis p≥44 and alternative hypothesis p<0.44?
25. Question: Suppose a pitcher claims that her pitch speed is not equal to 45 miles per hour, on average. Several of her teammates do not believe her, so the pitcher decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 1% significance level, to persuade them. She throws 21 The mean speed of the sample pitches is 46 miles per hour. The pitcher knows from experience that the standard deviation for her pitch speed is 6 miles per hour.
