Assume a simple random sample of 85 body temperatures having a mean of 98.4°F. Given a population standard deviation of 0.76°F, test the common belief that the mean body temperature of healthy adults is equal to 98.6°F. 6. State the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form. 7. Characterize the test as right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed. 8. Calculate the test statistic. Round off to 2 decimal places. Using the Standard Normal Table, determine the p-value. 9. Based on the critical and p-values, make the decision about the null hypothesis. 10. Draw a conclusion. Referring to the same problem above, 11. At a = 0.05, make the decision about the null hypothesis. 12. Draw a conclusion.
