It is desired to check the calibration of a scale by weighing a standard 10-gram weight 100 times. Let μ be the population mean reading on the scale, so that the scale is in calibration if μ = 10 and out of calibration if μ ≠ 10. A test is made of the hypotheses H0: μ = 10 versus H0: μ ≠ 10. Consider three possible conclusions:
(i) The scale is in calibration.
(ii) The scale is not in calibration.
(iii) The scale might be in calibration.

a) Which of the three conclusions is best if H0 is rejected?
b) Which of the three conclusions is best if H0 is not rejected?

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
