Suppose a quantitative variable is normally distributed in the population. We conduct a t-test for a population mean with the following hypotheses. The null hypothesis is equal to 50, the alternative hypothesis is not equal to 50. A sample size of 30 has a t-statistic of -2.43. Find the corresponding P-value
Homework Answers
Sample size = 30
Degree of freedom = 30 - 1 = 29
Alternative hypothesis is two tailed.
t test statistic value is = -2.43
P value is 0.0215......................by using Excel command TDIST(-2.43,29,2)

The Federal Pell Grant Program gives grants to low-income undergraduate students. According to the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education in 2008, the average Pell grant award for 2007-2008 was $2,600. We wonder if the mean amount is different this year for Pell grant recipients at San Jose State University. Suppose that we randomly select 50 Pell grant recipients from San Jose State University. For these 50 students, the mean Pell grant award is...

Consider a normally distributed population with unknown variance ơ2. To test the null hypothesis that σ2 is equal to σ. we collect a sample of size n form the population and then calculate the sample variance S2. It is well known that we would fail-to-reject the null hypothesis if the following holds: 1-2n-1n-1 Note: χ2.v is such that P(x:Xp.v), and χ is a chi-squared random variable with v degrees of freedom. Use the above result to develop a hypothesis testing...

The difference of two independent normally distributed random

many of our derivations. Now, consider two independent and normally
distributed populations with unknown variances σ 2 X and σ 2 Y . If
we get a random sample X1, X2, . . . , Xn from the first population
and a random sample Y1, Y2, . . . , Yn from the second population
(note that both samples are of...

A random sample of size n= 15 obtained from a population that is normally distributed results in a sample mean of 45.8 and sample standard deviation 12.2. An independent sample of size n = 20 obtained from a population that is normally distributed results in a sample mean of 51.9 and sample standard deviation 14.6. Does this constitute sufficient evidence to conclude that the population means differ at the a = 0.05 level of significance? Click here to view the...

Suppose we want to conduct a hypothesis test relating to the mean of a certain population where the population variance is unknown. To conduct the test, we collect data from a random sample of 27 members of the population. a. Explain why we should use a t-test instead of a z-test in this situation. What is the distribution of the t-statistic in this case? (Recall that the t-statistic is defined as ? = ?̅−? ?/√? ) b. Find the following...

(1 point) A sample of 6 measurments, randomly selected from a normally distributed population, resulted in a sample mean, t = 7.7 and sample standard deviation s = 1.2. Using a = 0.05, test the null hypothesis that the mean of the population is 7.2 against the alternative hypothesis that the mean of the population, j < 7.2 by giving the following: (a) the degree of freedom (b) the critical t value (c) the test statistic The final conclustion is...

A sample of 5 measurements, randomly selected from a normally distributed population, resulted in a sample mean, x¯¯¯=6.9 and sample standard deviation s=1.28. Using α=0.05, test the null hypothesis that the mean of the population is 7.7 against the alternative hypothesis that the mean of the population, μ<7.7 by giving the following: find: (a) the degree of freedom: (b) the critical t value: (c) the test statistic:
