Question

A national newspaper reported that the state with the longest mean life span is Hawaii, where the population mean life span is 76 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices in the Honolulu Advertizer gave the following information about life span (in years) of Honolulu residents.

72	68	81	93	56	19	78	94	83	84
77	69	85	97	75	71	86	47	66	27

Assuming that life span in Honolulu is approximately normally distributed, does this information indicate that the population mean life span for Honolulu residents is less than 76 years? Use a 10% level of significance.

What is the level of significance?

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

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.
