Question

Daily Driving The average number of miles a person drives per day is 24. A researcher wishes to see if people over age 60 drive less than 24 miles per day. She selects a random sample of 27 drivers over the age of 60 and finds that the mean number of miles driven is 22.2. The population standard deviation is 3.7 miles. At =α0.05, is there sufficient evidence that those drivers over 60 years old drive less than 24 miles per day on average? Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the P-value method with tables.

State the hypotheses and identify the claim.

:H0= ▼ then claim or not claim
:H1= ▼ then claim or not claim
The hypothesis test is a one tailed or two tailed test.

critical value

z value

p value

reject or accept

is there sufficient evidence to support the claim

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 + ...
