Midterm—Sample Economics 173 Name_____________ Fall 2001 Instructor: Petry SSN______________ 1. Given the following t-statistics (23 degrees of freedom) and p-values (1 tailed); t-statistic: 1.7 ( p-value .05 t-statistic: 1.2 ( p-value .121 t-statistic: 2.1 ( p-value .023 What is the p-value for the t-statistic 1.3? .141 .103 .042 .013 .461 2. When comparing the proportions of two populations, what type of test statistic is used? z t F all of the above none of the above 3. Given a population standard deviation of 13, a sample mean of 40, and a confidence interval width of 10, and a critical value of 1.645, what is the sample size? 4 5 6 7 8 4. If the p-value for a test is .4 then your decision is: there is sufficient evidence to conclude the alternative is correct. there is sufficient evidence to conclude the null is correct. there is insufficient evidence to conclude the alternative is correct. there is insufficient evidence to conclude neither is correct. none of the above 5. Which of the following statements are equivalent? Alpha Beta Probability of a Type I error Probability of a Type II error Probability of Rejecting a true null I and IV I and III I and III and V II and V II and IV and V 6. The 95% confidence interval for the population average final exam score is [126.4, 195.5]. To test the claim that the average final exam score of the population is 180 at a 3% level of significance, what will be your decision? reject the null – conclude it is not 180 fail to reject the null – insufficient evidence to conclude it is not 180 reject the null – conclude it is 180 fail to reject the null – sufficient evidence to conclude it is not 180 cannot decide based on the given information 7. When doing a matched pairs test with differences distributed normally and unknown population standard deviation, which is the correct test statistic? equal variances pooled t test for means unequal variances pooled t test for means si
