Question

Use technology to find the? P-value for the hypothesis test described below.

The claim is that for 12 AM body? temperatures, the mean is

mu?greater than>98.698.6degrees°F.

The sample size is

nequals=88

and the test statistic is

tequals=1.4641.464.

Answer 1

here given that in this example :

n = sample size = 88

degree of freedom = n -1 = 88-1 = 87 i.e degree of freedom = 87

H0 ( null hypothesis ) :    Verses H 1 ( alternative hypothesis ):     

this is one tail right side test .

test statistics is given that t = 1.464

use the technology , the P Value is = 0.0733

the excel to calculate the p value . use the excel command , the command is

' =tdist( 1.464 , 87 ,1) ' and enter the answer is 0.0733

here t vale = t statistic value = 1.464 , degree of freedom =87 and right side one tail test = 1.

the final answer is P value = 0.0733
