Question

The glucose readings are 95, 86, 84, 107, 101, 112,85,86. The sample mean is 94.8, it is a normal distribution  wirh the standard devian is 12.5, and the mean glucose is 85. Do these data indicate that Ben has an overall average level higher than 85? Use a=0.05, what is the level of significance? Compute z value of the sample test statistic. Find p value

Expert Solution
Step 1

Total data values, i.e, glucose readings (n)=  8

The following null and alternative hypotheses need to be tested:

Ho: \mu = 85

Ha: \mu > 85

This corresponds to a right-tailed test.

The z-statistic is computed as follows:

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

The p-value for right tailed test and z = 2.217 is , which can be found by using the standard normal table.

, the null hypothesis is rejected.
