Question

The dean of a university estimates that the mean number of classroom hours per week for full-time faculty is 11.0. As a member of the student council, you want to test this claim. A random sample of the number of classroom hours for eight full-time faculty for one week is shown in the table below. At α=0.01, can you reject the dean's claim?

Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

11.9
8.6
13.2
7.1
4.2
10.1
12.3
9.7

(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and Ha.

(b) Use technology to find the P-value.

(d) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

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.
