Question
A data set lists earthquake depths. The summary statistics are
nequals=400400​,
x overbarxequals=6.866.86
​km,
sequals=4.374.37
km. Use a
0.010.01
significance level to test the claim of a seismologist that these earthquakes are from a population with a mean equal to
6.006.00.
Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative​ hypotheses, test​ statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
What are the null and alternative​ hypotheses?
 
 
A.
Upper H 0H0​:
muμequals=5.005.00
km
Upper H 1H1​:
muμnot equals≠5.005.00
km
 
B.
Upper H 0H0​:
muμnot equals≠5.005.00
km
Upper H 1H1​:
muμequals=5.005.00
km
 
C.
Upper H 0H0​:
muμequals=5.005.00
km
Upper H 1H1​:
muμgreater than>5.005.00
km
 
D.
Upper H 0H0​:
muμequals=5.005.00
km
Upper H 1H1​:
muμless than<5.005.00
km
Determine the test statistic.
 
 
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Determine the​ P-value.
 
 
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
 
Fail to reject
 
Upper H 0H0.
There is
 
 
evidence to conclude that the original claim that the mean of the population of earthquake depths is
5.005.00
km
