Given the following hypothesis:

   

H0 : μ = 125

   

H1 : μ ≠ 125

   

A random sample of six resulted in the following values 132, 132, 130, 143, 140, and 130.

   

Using the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude the mean is different from 125?

Answer #1

Part a

Here, we have to use one sample t test for the population mean.

The null and alternative hypotheses are given as below:

H0: µ = 125 versus Ha: µ ≠ 125

This is a two tailed test.

The test statistic formula is given as below:

t = (Xbar - µ)/[S/sqrt(n)]

From given data, we have

µ = 125

Xbar = 134.5

S = 5.576737397

n = 6

df = n – 1 = 5

α = 0.05

Critical value = - 2.5706 and 2.5706

(by using t-table or excel)

Reject H0 : μ = 125 and fail to reject H1 : μ ≠ 125 when the test statistic is outside the interval (-2.571, 2.571).

Part b

t = (Xbar - µ)/[S/sqrt(n)]

t = (134.5 – 125)/[ 5.576737397/sqrt(6)]

t = 4.1727

Value of the test statistic = 4.173

Part c

Value of the test statistic is outside the above critical values, so we reject H0.

Part d

P-value = 0.0087

(by using t-table)

(Less than 0.01)
