Question

PROBLEM 3: To test the following hypotheses, a random sample of size n=21 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. H?: ? = 2.4 H?: ? ? 2.4 a) If the sample standard deviation is determined to be s=2.7, compute the test statistic ?²?. b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the 0.1 level of significance, determine the critical values. c) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis? Explain using the test statistic and critical values.

PROBLEM 3: To test the following hypotheses, a random sample of size n=21 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. Ho: σ = 2.4 H1: σ ≠ 2.4 a) If the sample standard deviation is determined to be s=2.7, compute the test statistic χ²₀. b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the 0.1 level of significance, determine the critical values. c) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis? Explain using the test statistic and critical values.
