A sample of 15 from a normal population yields a sample mean of 43 and a sample standard deviation of 4.7. The p-value that should be used to test the claim that the population mean is less than 45 is closest to:
Solution :
The null and alternative hypothesis is ,
H0 : = 45
Ha : < 45
Test statistic (t) =
= ( - ) / s / n
= (43 - 45) / 4.7 / 15
Test statistic = -1.648
P-value = 0.0608

A sample of 39 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 43, and the population standard deviation is 6. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.02 significance level. H0: μ = 45 H1: μ ≠ 45 Is this a one- or two-tailed test? One-tailed test Two-tailed test What is the decision rule? Reject H0 if −2.326 < z < 2.326 Reject H0 if z < −2.326 or z > 2.326 What is the value...
A random sample from normal population yielded sample mean=40.8 and sample standard deviation=6.1, n = 15. HO: u = 32.6, Haru # 32.6, a = 0.05. Perform the hypothesis test and draw your conclusion. Test statistic: t = 5.21. P-value=1.9E-7 (0.00000019). Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is different from 32.6. Test statistic: t = 5.21. P-value=1.9E-7 (0.00000019). Do not reject HO. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the...

--------A sample of 36 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 34, and the population standard deviation is 5. Carry out a hypothesis test (with a level of significance α of 0.05) of the null hypothesis H0: µ ≥ 35 using the 6-step procedure ---------Suppose that someone claims that the mean number of sick days taken by U.S. employees is 5.1. You decide to investigate that claim and take a representative sample of 87 U.S. employees...
A sample of 36 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 12 and the population standard deviation is 3. The null hypothesis: the mean is equal to 10. The alternate hypothesis: the mean is greater than 10. Please test the null hypothesis at the .01 significance level. (Show your work for credit.) Is this a one- or a two tailed test? __________ What is your decision rule (include the critical value of z). What is the value of the test statistic...
6) A sample of 40 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 31, and the population standard deviation is 3. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level. a) Is this a one or two- tailed test? b) What is the decision rule? (Round your answer 2 decimal places) _____ HO, when z > ______ c) What is the value of the test statistic? Value of the test statistic ______ d) What is...
A simple random sample of 53 adults is obtained from a normally distributed population, and each person's red blood cell count (in cells per microliter) is measured. The sample mean is 5.28 and the sample standard deviation is 0.55. Use a 0.05 significance level and the given calculator display to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 5.4 which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range of...
A simple random sample of 45 adults is obtained from a normally distributed population, and each person's red blood cell count (in cells per microliter) is measured. The sample mean is 5.23 and the sample standard deviation is 0.54. Use a 0.01 significance level and the given calculator display to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 5.4 comma which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range...
