Question
Consider the following hypothesis test:
H0: 27
Ha: 27
A sample of 50 provided a sample mean of 28.4. The population standard deviation is 6.
a. Compute the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).
b. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use the value of the test statistic rounded to 2 decimal places in your calculations.
c. At = .01, what is your conclusion? (pick one)
p-value is Selectgreater than or equal to 0.01, rejectgreater than 0.01, do not rejectless than or equal to 0.01, do not rejectless than 0.01, rejectequal to 0.01, do not rejectnot equal to 0.01, do not rejectItem 3 H0
d. What is the rejection rule using the critical value? (pick one)
Reject H0 if z is Selectgreater than or equal to 2.33greater than 2.33less than or equal to 2.33less than 2.33equal to 2.33not equal to 2.33Item 4
What is your conclusion? (pick one)
Select1.65 is greater than or equal to 2.33, do not reject1.65 is greater than 2.33, do not reject1.65 is less than or equal to 2.33, reject1.65 is less than 2.33, do not reject1.65 is equal to 2.33, reject1.65 is not equal to 2.33, do not rejectItem 5 H0
Explanation / Answer
The statistical software output for this problem is:
One sample Z summary hypothesis test:
: Mean of population
H0 : = 27
HA : > 27
Standard deviation = 6
Hypothesis test results:
Hence,
a) Test statistic = 1.65
b) p - Value = 0.0495
c) Greater than 0.01; Do not reject
d) Reject Ho if z > 2.33
e) 1.65 is less than 2.33, do not reject Ho
