Question

Suppose that average rainfall in your city is normally distributed, and for the past 36 months, the rainfall has been 0.5 inches per day on average with a standard deviation of 0.16. Let x be a random variable that has a normal distribution and represents the rainfall in inches per day. Using a 0.05 level of significance, you want to test the hypothesis that monthly rainfall has been 0.7 inches per day on average. What conclusion do you make from your test?

Select one:

a. Reject H₀; the average rainfall is not 0.5 inches.

b. Reject H₀; the average rainfall is not 0.7 inches.

c. Do not reject H₀; the average rainfall is still 0.5 inches.

d. Do not reject H₀; the average rainfall is still 0.7 inches.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
