Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is less than 11 bpm. For a random sample of 144 adult males, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 9.6 bpm. Find the value of the statistic.
Solution:
Given ,
n = 144
s = 9.6
Claim: < 11
Hypothesis can be written as
H0 : 11 vs H1 : < 11
The test statistic is
2 = (n - 1)s2/2
= (144 - 1) (9.6)2/(112)
= 108.9164
Value of the test statistic is 108.9164
