You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance
level of ?=0.05.
Ho:?=73.1
Ha:??73.1
You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not
know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=20 with
mean M=80.2 and a standard deviation of SD=10.2
What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate
to three decimal places.)
test statistic =
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to
four decimal places.)
p-value =
The p-value is...
less than (or equal to) ?? or greater than ??
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
reject the null, accept the null, or 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 not equal to 73.1.
There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is not equal to 73.1.
The sample data support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 73.1.
There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 73.1
The statistical software output for this problem is:
One sample T summary hypothesis test:
? : Mean of population
H0 : ? = 73.1
HA : ? ? 73.1
Hypothesis test results:
Mean | Sample Mean | Std. Err. | DF | T-Stat | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
? | 80.2 | 2.2807893 | 19 | 3.1129574 | 0.0057 |
Hence,
Test statistic = 3.113
p - value = 0.0057
p - value is less than (or equal to) ?
Reject the null
Final conclusion: The sample data support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 73.1.
