Explanation / Answer

21.

Here we have to test,

H0 : mu = 5.8 Vs H1 : mu not= 5.8

where mu is population mean

Assume alpha = level of significance = 0.05

Here sample size is of 20 which is less than 30 and population standard deviation is unknown so we use one sample t-test.

The test statistic follows t-distribution.

The test statistic is,

t = (Xbar - mu) / (s/sqrt(n))

where Xbar is sample mean

s is sample standard deviation

n is sample size

We can do one sample t-test in MINITAB.

steps :

ENTER data into MINITAB sheet --> Stat --> Basic statistics --> 1-Sample t --> Samples in columns : select data column --> Perform hypothesis test --> Hypothesized mean : 5.8--> Options --> Confidence level :95.0 --> Alternative : NOT equal --> ok --> ok

Welcome to Minitab, press F1 for help.

One-Sample T: x

Test of mu = 5.8 vs mu not = 5.8

Variable N Mean StDev SE Mean
x 20 3.850 2.519 0.563

Variable 95.0% CI T P
x ( 2.671, 5.029) -3.46 0.003

Test statistic = -3.46

P-value = 0.003

P-value <alpha

Reject H0 at 5% level of significance

Conclusion : There is sufficient evidence to say that population mean is differ than 5.8
