Question

The hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood is approximately normally distributed with a population mean of 14 for healthy adult women. Suppose a particular female patient has had 16 laboratory blood tests during the past year. The sample readings showed an average HC of 14.62 with a standard deviation of 0.54. Does it appear that the population average HC for this patient is not 14?

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol ?, e.g. mu > 1 for the mean is greater than 1, mu < 1 for the mean is less than 1, mu not = 1 for the mean is not equal to 1)

(b) Find the test statistic, t =

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.
