Consider the following hypotheses: H0: μ ≥ 199 HA: μ < 199 A sample of 98 observations results in a sample mean of 195. The population standard deviation is known to be 32. Calculate the value of the test statistic. a-2. Find the p-value. 0.025 p-value < 0.05 0.05 p-value < 0.10 p-value greater than or equal to 0.10 p-value < 0.01 p-value < 0.025 b. Does the above sample evidence enable us to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.05? No since the p-value is greater than the significance level. Yes since the p-value is less than the significance level. Yes since the p-value is greater than the significance level No since the p-value is less than the significance level. c. Does the above sample evidence enable us to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.01? No since the p-value is greater than the significance level. No since the p-value is less than the significance level. Yes since the p-value is greater than the significance level. Yes since the p-value is less than the significance level. d. Interpret the results at α = 0.01. We cannot conclude that the population mean is less than 199. We conclude that the population mean is less than 199. We conclude that the population proportion differs from 199. We conclude that the population proportion equals 199.

Step 1
Calculate the test statistic: The test statistic for a one-sample z-test is given by the formula: $$ z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} $$ where $\bar{x}$ is the sample mean, $\mu_0$ is the hypothesized population mean, $\sigma$ is the population Show more…

Consider the following hypotheses: H0: μ ≥ 160 HA: μ < 160 The population is normally distributed. A sample produces the following observations: 152 138 151 144 151 142 Conduct the test at the 1% level of significance. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Find the p-value. p-value < 0.01 p-value 0.10 0.05 p-value < 0.10 0.025 p-value < 0.05 0.01 p-value < 0.025 c. What is the conclusion? Do not reject H0 since the p-value is less than the significance level. Do not reject H0 since the p-value is greater than the significance level. Reject H0 since the p-value is less than the significance level. Reject H0 since the p-value is greater than the significance level. d. Interpret the results α = 0.01. We cannot conclude that the population mean is less than 160. We conclude that the population mean is less than 160. We cannot conclude that the population mean is greater than 160. We conclude that the population mean is greater than 160.

Consider the following hypotheses: H0: μ ≥ 150 HA: μ < 150 A sample of 80 observations results in a sample mean of 144. The population standard deviation is known to be 28. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Does the above sample evidence enable us to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.01? multiple choice 1 Yes since the sample Z-value is less than the significance level Z-value. Yes since the sample Z-value is greater than the significance level Z-value. No since the sample Z-value is less than the significance level Z-value. No since the sample Z-value is greater than the significance level Z-value. c. Does the above sample evidence enable us to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.05? multiple choice 2 Yes since the sample Z-value is less than the significance level Z-value. Yes since the sample Z-value is greater than the significance level Z-value. No since the sample Z-value is less than the significance level Z-value. No since the sample Z-value is greater than the significance level Z-value. d. Interpret the results at α = 0.05. multiple choice 3 We conclude that the population mean is less than 150. We cannot conclude that the population mean is less than 150. We conclude that the population proportion differs from 150. We conclude that the population proportion equals 150.
