multiple choice 1
-
H0: μ = 3; HA: μ ≠ 3
-
H0: μ ≤ 3; HA: μ > 3
-
H0: μ ≥ 3; HA: μ < 3
b. Calculate the value of test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
c. Find the p-value.
multiple choice 2
-
p-value ≤ 0.01
-
0.01 < p-value ≤ 0.025
-
0.025 < p-value ≤ 0.05
-
0.05 < p-value ≤ 0.10
-
p-value >0.10
d. At a 5% significance level, can we conclude that the mean forecast GDP of all NABE members is greater than 3%?
multiple choice 3
-
Yes, since we reject H0.
-
Yes, since we do not reject H0.
-
No, since we reject H0.
