A nursing school professor is interested in determining how her college students compare to the national average when it comes to the Final Practicum Exam. The exam has a µ = 100 and σ = 20. There has been no evidence to suggest whether those seniors score better or worse than the national average and she is curious as to how her class (N=17) compares.

Write the null and alternative hypothesis in statistical form:

 

Determine the mean for the sample:

 

Apply the z-test formula

 

What is your alpha level set to?   α

 

Determine the critical value(s) (Zcrit)

 

Label the critical value(s) and indicate the position of the Zobt on the distribution

 

Write the z result in the correct form:

Step 1

Note: Since you have posted a question with multiple subparts, we will solve the first three subparts for you. To get the remaining subparts solved, please repost the complete question and mention the subparts to be solved.

 

As the Null Hypothesis is set up for possible rejection, hence

Null Hypothesis(H0): μSeniors=μNational average , i.e there is no difference between the scores of the seniors and the national averageAlternative Hypothesis(H1): μSeniors μNational averagewhere, μSeniors is the mean score of seniors from the population, andμNatinal average is the national average(mean) score.
