Question

A sample of n=25 people with a treatment have a mean of M=54. The general population has a mean of μ=56.1 and standard deviation of σ=10. If you did a One-Sample Z-Test, with 1 tail (predicted decrease) and α=.01, and you showed all four steps, which of the following options would correctly match what you got on all four steps? (NOTE: instead of the symbol “μ” I will have to use the phrase, “population mean,” in the multiple-choice options below).

Group of answer choices

H0: population mean = 56.1; Z-critical = -2.33; Z-obtained = -1.05; Fail to Reject H0

Ho: population mean = 56.1; Z-critical = -1.65; Z-obtained = +1.05; Reject H0

H0: population mean = 54; Z-critical = -1.65; Z-obtained = -1.05; Reject H0

H0: population mean = 54; Z-critical = -2.33; Z-obtained = +1.05; Fail to Reject H0

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
