Part 1

(a) Identify the claim and state

and

Ha.

Which of the following correctly states

and

Ha?

H0:	muμ greater than or equals≥ 2.31 2.31
Ha:	muμ less than< 2.31 2.31

(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

The claim is the

alternative

hypothesis.

Part 2

(b) Use technology to find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).

The critical value(s) is/are

t0=negative 1.30

−1.30.

(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Part 3

Choose the graph which shows the rejection region.

0 -44t

−t0

t<−t0, t>t0

A graph labeled t less than negative t 0, t greater than t 0 has a horizontal t-axis labeled from negative 4 to 4 in increments of 4. A symmetric bell shaped t-distribution curve is above the t-axis and centered on 0. Two vertical line segments extend from the curve to the t-axis at the points labeled negative t 0 and t 0, where t 0 is to the right of 0. The areas under the curve to the left of negative t 0 and to the right of t 0 are shaded.

-4 0 4 t

t>t0

A graph labeled t greater than t 0 has a horizontal t-axis labeled from negative 4 to 4 in increments of 4. A symmetric bell shaped t-distribution curve is above the t-axis and centered on 0. A vertical line segment extends from the curve to the t-axis at a point labeled t 0, where t 0 is to the right of 0. The area under the curve to the right of t 0 is shaded.

0 -44t

−t0

−t0<t<t0

A graph labeled negative t 0 less than t less than t 0 has a horizontal t-axis labeled from negative 4 to 4 in increments of 4. A symmetric bell shaped t-distribution curve is above the t-axis and centered on 0. Two vertical line segments extend from the curve to the t-axis at the points labeled negative t 0 and t 0, where t 0 is to the right of 0. The area under the curve between negative t 0 and t 0 is shaded.

-4 0 4 t

t<t0

A graph labeled t less than t 0 has a horizontal t-axis labeled from negative 4 to 4 in increments of 4. A symmetric bell shaped t-distribution curve is above the t-axis and centered on 0. A vertical line segment extends from the curve to the t-axis at a point labeled t 0, where t 0 is to the left of 0. The area under the curve to the left of t 0 is shaded.

Your answer is correct.

Part 4

The standardized test statistic is

t=0.23

0.23.

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Part 5

(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Fail to reject

because the standardized test statistic

is not

in the rejection region.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
