Question

You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.002α=0.002.

      Ho:μ=54.2Ho:μ=54.2
      Ha:μ>54.2Ha:μ>54.2

You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=403n=403 with a mean of M=55.3M=55.3 and a standard deviation of SD=7.4SD=7.4.

What is the critical value for this test? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
critical value =

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =

The test statistic is...

• in the critical region
• not in the critical region

This test statistic leads to a decision to...

• reject the null
• accept the null
• fail to reject the null

As such, the final conclusion is that...

• There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is greater than 54.2.
• There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is greater than 54.2.
• The sample data support the claim that the population mean is greater than 54.2.
• There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is greater than 54.2.
