Suppose we are testing H0: $\mu = 5$, vs. Ha: $\mu \neq 5$ and the population standard deviation ($\sigma$) is known. (T or F) We reject H0 if the test statistic is greater than $|z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}|.$

Suppose that we wish to test H0: μ = 80 versus Ha: μ > 80, where σ is known to equal 20. Also, suppose that a sample of n = 100 measurements randomly selected from the population has a mean of x̄ = 85. a. Calculate the value of the test statistic z. b. By comparing it with a critical value, test H0 versus Ha at α = .05. c. Calculate the p-value for testing H0 versus Ha. d. Use the p-value to test H0 versus Ha at each of α = .10, .05, .01, and .001. e. How much evidence is there that H0: μ = 80 is false and Ha: μ > 80 is true?

Suppose that we wish to test H0: μ = 40 versus Ha: μ ≠ 40, where σ is known to equal 18. Also, suppose that a sample of n = 81 measurements randomly selected from the population has a mean of x̄ = 35. a. Calculate the value of the test statistic z. b. By comparing z with a critical value, test H0 versus Ha at α = .05. c. Calculate the p-value for testing H0 versus Ha. d. Use the p-value to test H0 versus Ha at each of α = .10, .05, .01, and .001. e. How much evidence is there that H0: μ = 40 is false and Ha: μ ≠ 40 is true?
