Question

Test the claim that the mean GPA of night students is smaller than 2.2 at the 0.025 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

H0:p≥0.55H0:p≥0.55
H1:p<0.55H1:p<0.55
 
H0:μ≥2.2H0:μ≥2.2
H1:μ<2.2H1:μ<2.2
 
H0:p=0.55H0:p=0.55
H1:p≠0.55H1:p≠0.55
 
H0:μ≤2.2H0:μ≤2.2
H1:μ>2.2H1:μ>2.2
 
H0:μ=2.2H0:μ=2.2
H1:μ≠2.2H1:μ≠2.2
 
H0:p≤0.55H0:p≤0.55
H1:p>0.55H1:p>0.55



The test is:

 

left-tailed
two-tailed
right-tailed



Based on a sample of 40 people, the sample mean GPA was 2.16 with a standard deviation of 0.08

The test statistic is:  (to 2 decimals)

The p-value is:  (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis
