The mean SAT score in mathematics, u, is 586. The standard deviation of these scores is 29. A special preparation course claims that its graduates will score higher, on average, than the mean score 586. A random sample of 50 students completed the course, and their mean SAT score in mathematics was 588. At the 0.1 level of significance, can we conclude that the preparation course does what it daims? Assume that the standard deviation of the scores of course graduates is also 29. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alterrfative hypothesis Hj. Ho : H, : (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) OSO (c) Find the value of the test statistic.

I need help understanding how to solve the question with a black box around it.
Mary's height is 68 inches, in comparison to a group whose height is 65.5 inches with standard deviation of 1.5 inches. What is the z-score of Mary's height? What does the result tell you?
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.9 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. i-What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. a) Estimate the P-value. select one:P-value > 0.0100.0010 < P-value < 0.010 0.250 < P-value < 0.00100.125 < P-value < 0.250P-value < 0.125 b) Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value. c) will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ??At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and…
Two students were informed that they received standard z-scores of 0.9 and -0.5, respectively on a multiple-choice examination in Science. If their grades were 95 and 60, respectively, find the mean and standard deviation of the examination grades.
A newspaper article reports that the mean cost for preventative dental care per year is $175 with a standard deviation of $35 (assume that this is the population standard deviation). You want to test whether the mean cost for preventative dental care in your company is different from what was reported in the article. You take a random sample of 250 employees and find the mean cost is $171. Does this signficantly differ from what was reported in the article? Run the appropriate test at α=0.05. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUST show your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available.
