At a local university, a sample of 49 evening students was selected in order to determine whether the average age of the evening students is significantly different from 21. The average age of the students in the sample was 23 years. The population standard deviation is known to be 3.5 years. Use a 0.05 level of significance (z 0.05= -1.64 and z0.95 = 1.64).

Step 1
The null hypothesis (H₀) is that the average age of evening students is equal to 21 years. The alternative hypothesis (H₁) is that the average age of evening students is significantly different from 21 years. H₀: μ = 21 H₁: μ ≠ 21 Show more…

A. A sample of 25 items produced a mean of 46. Assume that the population standard deviation is 6 and test the following hypothesis with α = 0.05 Ho: μ = 50 H1: μ < 50 B. A sample of 25 students revealed that the average age of students at Holmes is 21 years and the standard deviation of age is 1.8. Test the hypothesis that the population mean of the student age is greater than 19 at 10% significance level.
