Please just solve B-1
 
In order to conduct a hypothesis test for the population mean, a random sample of 14 observations is drawn from a normally distributed population. The resulting sample mean and sample standard deviation are calculated as 14.6 and 2.0, respectively. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table).

 

H0μ ≤ 13.8 against HAμ > 13.8


a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

 

a-2. Find the p-value.

 

multiple choice 1

  • p-value 
     
     0.10
     
  • p-value < 0.01
  • 0.05 
     
     p-value < 0.10
     
    Correct
  • 0.025 
     
     p-value < 0.05
     
  • 0.01 
     
     p-value < 0.025
     

 

 

a-3. At the 10% significance level, what is the conclusion?

 

multiple choice 2

  • Reject H0 since the p-value is less than significance level. Correct
  • Reject H0 since the p-value is greater than significance level.
  • Do not reject H0 since the p-value is less than significance level.
  • Do not reject H0 since the p-value is greater than significance level.


a-4. Interpret the results at αα = 0.1.


multiple choice 3
  • We conclude that the population mean is greater than 13.8. Correct
  • We cannot conclude that the population mean is greater than 13.8.
  • We conclude that the population mean differs from 13.8.
  • We cannot conclude that the population mean differs from 13.8..

 

 

H0μ = 13.8 against HAμ ≠ 13.8

 

b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

 

b-2. Find the p-value.

 

multiple choice 4

  • 0.025 
     
     p-value < 0.05
     
  • 0.05 
     
     p-value < 0.10
     
  • 0.01 
     
     p-value < 0.025
     
  • p-value < 0.01
  • p-value 
     
     0.10
     
    Correct

 

 

b-3. At the 10% significance level, what is the conclusion?

 

multiple choice 5

  • Reject H0 since the p-value is less than significance level.
  • Reject H0 since the p-value is greater than significance level.
  • Do not reject H0 since the p-value is less than significance level.
  • Do not reject H0 since the p-value is greater than significance level. Correct


b-4. Interpret the results at αα = 0.1.

multiple choice 6
  • We conclude that the population mean is greater than 13.8.
  • We cannot conclude that the population mean is greater than 13.8.
  • We conclude that the population mean differs from 13.8.
  • We cannot conclude that the population mean differs from 13.8. Correct
