how do Ifind the sample mean or sx for the problem below?
Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
A safety administration conducted crash tests of child booster seats for cars. Listed below are results from those tests, with the measurements given in hic (standard head injury condition units). The safety requirement is that the hic measurement should be less than 1000 hic. Use a
0.05
significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 1000 hic. Do the results suggest that all of the child booster seats meet the specified requirement?
701
1186
555
505
440
The sample mean for standard head injury condition is obtained using the formula,
The sample standard deviation is obtained using the formula,
From the data values,
701 | 677.4 | 23.6 | 556.96 |
1186 | 677.4 | 508.6 | 258673.96 |
