Question

A simple random sample of 10 pages from a dictionary is obtained. The numbers of words defined on those pages are found, with the results n=10, x=63.5 words, s=15.7 words. Given that this dictionary has

1469 pages with defined words, the claim that there are more than 70,000 defined words is equivalent to the claim that the mean number of words per page is greater than 47.7 words. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean number of words per page is greater than 47.7 words. What does the result suggest about the claim that there are more than 70,000 definedwords? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Assume that the population is normally distributed.

What is the test statistic

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.
