Question

Stephen Stigler determined in 1977 that the speed of light is 299,710.5 km/sec.  In 1882, Albert Michelson had collected measurements on the speed of light ("Student t-distribution," 2013).  Is there evidence to show that Michelson’s data is different from Stigler’s value of the speed of light?  Match the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses statements with their correct definitions (not all definitions will be used!).

 
 

random variable x

 

alternative hypothesis HA

 

null hypothesis Ho

 

population parameter μ

 
1.

μ = mean speed of light measured by Albert Michelson

2.

x = speed of light measured by Stephen Stigler

3.

x = speed of light measured by Albert Michelson

4.

μ > 299,710.5 km/s

5.

μ = 299,710.5 km/s

6.

μ < 299,710.5 km/s

7.

μ ≠ 299,710.5 km/s
