Medical School Applications A medical college dean read that the average number of applications a potential medical school student sends is 7.9 . She thinks that the mean is different. So she selects a random sample of 37 applicants and asks each how many medical schools they applied to. The mean of the sample is 8.9 . The population standard deviation is 2.6. Test her claim at α=0.01 Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the critical value method with tables. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. :H0 =μ7.0 ▼claim :H1 ≠μ7.9 ▼not claim This hypothesis test is a ▼one-tailed test. Find the critical value(s). Enter the values in ascending order and round the answer to two decimal places. If there is more than one critical value, separate them with commas. Critical value(s): Compute the test value. Always round z score values to at least two decimal places. =z Make the decision. Summarize the results. There is /is not enough evidence to support the claim that the average number of applications a potential medical school student sends is different than 7.9.

Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the critical value method with tables.
:H0
=μ7.0
:H1
≠μ7.9
This hypothesis test is a ▼one-tailed test. |
