Question
In order to conduct a hypothesis test of the population mean, a random sample of 26 observations is drawn from a normally distributed population. The resulting mean and the standard deviation are calculated as 6.2 and 2.2, respectively. Use Table 2.
Use the p-value approach to conduct the following tests at = 0.10.
H0: 5.8 against HA: > 5.8
a-1.
Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and your answer to 2 decimal places.)
a-2.
Approximate the p-value.
a-3.
What is the conclusion?
H0: = 5.8 against HA: 5.8

Explanation / Answer
-------------------------------
The P-Value is .18137.
a2) 0.100 < p-value < 0.200
a3) Do not reject H0 since the p-value is greater than .
-----------------------------
b1) test statistic = 0.9271
The P-Value is .362739.
b2) 0.200 < p-value < 0.400
b3) Do not reject H0 since the p-value is greater than .
