Chapter Section 2-HT, Exercise 116: Use the t-distribution and the sample results to complete the test of the hypotheses for the underlying distribution, assuming it is relatively normal at a 5% significance level. Assume the results come from a random sample and the sample size is small.
Test Ho: μ = 120 vs Ha: μ ≠ 120 using the sample results x̄ = 112 and s = 18.4.
(a) Give the test statistic and the p-value.
Round your answer for the test statistic to two decimal places.
Round your answer for the p-value to three decimal places.
Test statistic: t = -6.09
p-value: 0.000
Should we reject Ho?
Yes, we should reject Ho.
