A parenting magazine reports that the average amount of wireless data used by teenagers each month is 10Gb. For her science fair project, Ella sets out to prove the magazine wrong. She claims that the mean among teenagers in her area is less than reported. Ella collects information from a simple random sample of 25 teenagers at her high school, and calculates a mean of 9.1Gb per month with a standard deviation of 2.3Gb per month. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test Ella’s claim at the 0.05level of significance.

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

2. Obtain the value of the test statistic

3. Obtain the P-Value

4. Conclusion

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 + ...
