Using traditional methods, it takes 98 hours to receive a basic flying license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 210 students and observed that they had a mean of 97 hours. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 55. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
H0: = 98
Ha: 98
Test statistics
z = - / ( / sqrt(n) )
= 97 - 98 / 55 / sqrt(210)
= 0.26
This is test statistics value.
Critical value at 0.01 level = -2.576 , 2.576
Since test statistics falls in non-rejection region, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
