On average, Americans have lived in 2 places by the time they are 18 years old. Is this average less for college students? The 70 randomly selected college students who answered the survey question had lived in an average of 1.78 places by the time they were 18 years old. The standard deviation for the survey group was 0.8. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance?

On average, Americans have lived in 2 places by the time they are 18 years old. Is this average less for college students? The 70 randomly selected college students who answered the survey question had lived in an average of 1.78 places by the time they were 18 years old. The standard deviation for the survey group was 0.8. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance?
- For this study, we should use
- The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
H0:H0:
H1:H1:
- The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
- The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
- The p-value is αα
- Based on this, we should the null hypothesis.
- Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
- The data suggest that the population
mean is not significantly less than 2 at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is less than 2. - The data suggest that the sample mean is not significantly less than 2 at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the sample mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is less than 1.78.
- The data suggest that the populaton mean is significantly less than 2 at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is less than 2.
- Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
- There is a 1.22145686% chance that the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is less than 2.
- There is a 1.22145686% chance of a Type I error.
- If the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is 2 and if you survey another 70 college students, then there would be a 1.22145686% chance that the sample mean for these 70 college students would be less than 1.78.
- If the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is 2 and if you survey another 70 college students, then there would be a 1.22145686% chance that the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old would be less than 2.
- Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
- If the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is less than 2 and if you survey another 70 college students, then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is equal to 2.
- If the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is 2 and if you survey another 70 college students, then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is less than 2.
- There is a 1% chance that none of this is real since you have been hooked up to virtual reality since you were born.
- There is a 1% chance that the population mean number of places that college students lived in by the time they were 18 years old is less than 2.
- The data suggest that the population

(1)
Determine the type of the study used.
The type of the study used is determined below as follows:
Since, the value of the population standard deviation is unknown the type of the study used is” single mean t-test”.
