Question

Consider the hypotheses below.

H0: u >= 75

H1: u < 75

Given that xbar=73.8, s = 13.5 n= 20 and alpha = 0.10

a. The critical value(s) are _________

(round to 3 decimal places)

b. Determine the test statistic ________

(round to two decimal places as needed)

c. What conclusion is drawn?

Reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that u<75

Do not reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that u <75

Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that u<75

Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that u<75

d. p-value _______

(round to 3 decimal places)

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

One sample T summary hypothesis test:
? : Mean of population
H0 : ? = 75
HA : ? < 75

Hypothesis test results:

Hence,

a) Critical value = -1.328

b) Test statistic = -0.40

c) Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that u<75

d) p - value = 0.348
