A simple random sample of 46 men from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of 7.7 beats per minute. The normal range of pulse rates of adults is typically given as 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the range rule of thumb is applied to that normal​ range, the result is a standard deviation of 10 beats per minute. Use the sample results with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute.

Question
A simple random sample of
46
men from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of
7.7
beats per minute. The normal range of pulse rates of adults is typically given as 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the range rule of thumb is applied to that normal​ range, the result is a standard deviation of
10
beats per minute. Use the sample results with a
0.05
significance level to test the claim that pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to
10
beats per minute. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.

Part 1
a. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
H0: σ≥10
beats per minute
H1: σ<10
beats per minute
 
B.
H0: σ≠10
beats per minute
H1: σ=10
beats per minute
 
C.
H0: σ=10
beats per minute
H1: σ<10
beats per minute
 
D.
H0: σ=10
beats per minute
H1: σ≠10
beats per minute
Your answer is correct.
Part 2
b. Compute the test statistic.
 
χ2=26.68126.681
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
c. Find the​ P-value.
 
​P-value=0.02720.0272
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 4
d. State the conclusion.
 
 
Reject
Do not reject
H0​,
because the​ P-value is
 
greater than
less than or equal to
the level of significance. There is
 
insufficient
