Consider a null hypothesis stating that the population mean is equal to 52, with the research hypothesis that the population mean isn't equal to 52. Assume you've collected 38 sample data from which we computed a sample mean of 53.67 and a sample standard deviation of 3.84. Further assume the sample data appear approximately normal. What's the p-value you would report for this test? A. 0.0084 B. 0.0041 C. 0.0074 D. 0.0025

Step 1
- Null hypothesis (\(H_0\)): The population mean is equal to 52 (\(\mu = 52\)). - Alternative hypothesis (\(H_a\)): The population mean is not equal to 52 (\(\mu \neq 52\)). Show more…

In performing a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that the population mean is 4.8 against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is not equal to 4.8, a random sample of 25 items is selected. The sample mean is 4.1 and the sample standard deviation is 1.4. It can be assumed that the population is normally distributed. The level of significance is selected to be 0.10. The table "t" value for this problem is _______. a) 1.318 b) 1.711 c) 2.492 d) 2.797 e) 3.227

A sample of 36 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 49, the population standrd deviation is 5. Conducting a test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level, we want to know whether the population mean is no different from 50. What is the p value ? Select one: a.0.3849 b.0 .3456 c.0.2302 d.0.3544 e.0.5678

To test the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance that the mean of a population is at least 16, a random sample of size 100 is taken. This sample has a mean of 15.8 and a standard deviation of 0.9. We are willing to assume that the probability distribution of the population variable is approximately normal. There is: a. enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. b. not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. c. sufficient evidence to reject the alternative hypothesis. d. insufficient evidence to either accept or reject the null hypothesis. e. insufficient information to make a decision.
