Question

Consider the following hypotheses:

H0: ? ? 79

A sample of 45 observations yields a sample mean of 80. Assume that the sample is drawn from a normal population with a known population standard deviation of 5.1. Use Table 1.

Calculate the p-value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Calculate the p-value if the above sample mean was based on a sample of 105 observations. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Consider the following hypotheses:

Explanation / Answer

(a)

The test statistic is

Z=(xbar-mu)/(s/vn)

=(80-79)/(5.1/sqrt(45))

=1.32

It is a right-tailed test.

So the p-value= P(Z>1.32) = 0.0934 (from standard normal table)

(b)Do not reject H0 since the p-value is greater than

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)

The test statistic is

Z=(xbar-mu)/(s/vn)

=(80-79)/(5.1/sqrt(105))

=2.01

It is a right-tailed test.

So the p-value= P(Z>2.01) = 0.0222 (from standard normal table)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)Reject H0 since the p-value is smaller than
