Suppose we wish to test the following hypotheses for the data:
H0:µ<or = to 50 Ha:µ>50
Calculate the mean and the standard deviation s of the data as above:
(A) Compute the appropriate test statistic for testing (show all work).
(B) Determine the critical value for a = 0.01.
(C) Test using the traditional/classical method.
(D) State the decision based on the results of the test.
(E) Had you used the p-value method of hypothesis testing, what would the p-value have been?
I got a mean of 47.03 and a Standard Deviation of 9.17...I don't know if this is correct but I tried! H0:µ<or = to 50 Ha:µ>50
I got a mean of 47.03 and a Standard Deviation of 9.17...I don't know if this is correct but I tried!
Explanation / Answer
Mean and standard deviation look correct. So test statistic is t=(47.03-50)/9.17362/sqrt33 (33 is sample size) t= 1.86 Critical value is 2.457 at alpha= .01 so we would not reject null hypothesis. P value is .025Related Questions
