Use technology and a t-test to test the claim about the population mean muμ at the given level of significance
alphaα using the given sample statistics. Assume the population is normally distributed.
Claim: muμgreater than>7474 ; alphaα=0.010
Sample statistics:
x bar=74.374.3 , s=2.92.9 , n=26
What is the p-value of the test statistic?
Solution :
This is the right tailed test .
The null and alternative hypothesis is ,
H0 : = 74
Ha : > 74
= 74.3
= 74
s = 2.9
n = 26
df = 26 - 1 = 25
Test statistic = t
= ( - ) / s / n
= (74.3 - 74) / 2.9 / 26
= 0.53
Test statistic = 0.53
P-value = 0.3004
the p-value of the test statistic is 0.3004
