Question

The paint used to make lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Let μ denote the true average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration. A test of H₀: μ = 20 versus H_a: μ > 20 will be based on a random sample of size n from a normal population distribution. What conclusion is appropriate in each of the following situations? (Round your P-values to three decimal places.)

(a) n = 11, t = 3.3, α = 0.05
P-value =

(b) n = 8, t = 1.7, α = 0.01
P-value =

t = −0.5

P-value =

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.
