Question

Scores on an IQ test are normally distributed.  A sample of 25 IQ scores had variance of 64.  The developer of the test claims that the population standard deviation is 15.  Do these data provide sufficient evidence to significance?  Use α=0.05α=0.05 .  Answer the following questions.

(a) What is the parameter?   . (input as  "mean", "standard deviation", "variance" or "proportion")

(b) Determine if the alternative hypothesis is "right", "left" or "two-tailed" test.    (input as "right", "left" or "two-tailed")

(c) Test by using a confidence interval.   Round confidence interval to nearest thousandth.  (e.g.  0.1345 would be entered as 0.135)

between (  and  )

(d) State conclusion.:  There is  (input as "sufficient" or "insufficient") to  (input as "conclude" or "reject")  to conclude that the population standard deviation of IQ test is 15.
