Question

Please use the following information to answer 4a-4c:

A random sample is selected from a normal population with a mean of µ = 30 and a standard deviation of σ= 8. After a treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample, the sample mean is found to be x̅ =33.

Furthermore, if the sample consists of n = 64 scores, is the sample mean sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

4a. Which of the following correctly represents the null and alternative hypothesis for the mentioned sample of n = 64 (MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM)?

a. Ho: µ = 30, H_1:µ ≠ 30

b. Ho: µ ≥ 30, H_1:µ < 30

c. Ho: µ > 30, H_1:µ ≤ 30

d. Ho: µ ≤ 30, H_1:µ > 30

4b. Which of the following represents the critical region for this mentioned sample (MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM)?

a. z = 1.96

b. z = ±1.96

c. z = ±1.65

d. z = -1.65

4c. Compute the test statistic(z-observed) for the mentioned sample (MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM).

Note: Must show calculations for standard error alongside the calculations for the test statistic.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
