Question
A health administration recommends that individuals consume 900 mg of calcium daily. After an advertising campaign aimed at male teenagers, a dairy association states that male teenagers consume more than the recommended daily amount of calcium. To support this statement, the association obtained a random sample of 50 male teenagers and found that the mean amount of calcium consumed was 905 mg, with a standard deviation of 100 mg. Is there significant evidence to support the statement of the association at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance? Choose the correct hypotheses. H_0: H_1: Find the test statistic. t_0 = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the P-value. The P-value is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What conclusion can be drawn? Do not reject H_0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that male teenagers consume more than the recommended daily amount of calcium. Do not reject H_0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that male teenagers consume more than the recommended daily amount of calcium. Reject H_0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that male teenagers consume less than the recommended daily amount of calcium. Reject H_0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that male teenagers consume less than the recommended daily amount of calcium.Explanation / Answer
Ho<=900
Ha>900
to = (905-900)/(100/sqrt(50)) = .35
p value for t0= .35 and df = 50-1=49 is 0.364
We will not reject the null hypothesis as there isn't sufficient eveidence to conclude that male teenagers consumer more than the recommended amount daily amount
of calcium
