This question is asking us to do a hypothesis test for a sample or for a population mean.
00:10
The 50 values i put into my calculator into a list and basically just ran the t test, but we'll go through the calculations for this and the whole test.
00:21
So mu is defined as the true mean magnitude of an earthquake.
00:24
Here we're checking to see if that true mean is greater than one.
00:28
Nell hypothesis is always a population value equal to some number, in this case one.
00:36
And we're checking to see if it's greater than one.
00:38
The alpha that they give us the level of significance we're going to test against is 0 .05.
00:43
So we'll check our p value against alpha to reject or fail to reject the null.
00:48
Crunch in the numbers, we get an average magnitude of 1 .1838 with a sample standard deviation.
00:59
Of 0 .5878.
01:02
And checking assumptions is something you should always do.

Here, random sample was stated...
