Assume that a hypothesis test will be conducted using a significance level of α = 0.01 and null hypothesis Ho: μ = 21. Furthermore, assume that the following sample data will be used: n = 12, x-bar = 22.2, and s = 2.1 Find the p-value for the test. 0.0478 0.1466 0.0733 0.9227
Solution :
This is the two tailed test .
The null and alternative hypothesis is ,
H0 : = 21
Ha : 21
Test statistic = t
= ( - ) / s / n
= (22.2 - 21) / 2.1 / 12 = 1.979
Test statistic = t = 1.979
P(z > 1.979) = 1 - P(z < 1.979) = 1 - 0.9761 = 0.0239
P-value = 2 * 0.0239 = 0.0478
