The daily temperatures in fall and winter months in Virginia have a mean of 62^oF. A meteorologist in southwest Virginia believes the mean temperature is colder in this area. The meteorologist takes a random sample of 30 daily temperatures from the fall and winter months over the last five years in southwest Virginia. The mean temperature for the sample is 59^oF with a standard deviation of 6.21^oF. The meteorologist conducts a one-sample t-test for and calculates a P-value of 0.007.

At the level, what is the correct conclusion for this test?

The meteorologist should reject the null hypothesis since 0.007 < 0.01. There is convincing evidence that the mean temperature in fall and winter months in southwest Virginia is less than 62^oF.

The meteorologist should reject the null hypothesis since 0.007 < 0.01. There is not convincing evidence that the mean temperature in fall and winter months in southwest Virginia is less than 62^oF.

The meteorologist should fail to reject the null hypothesis since 0.007 < 0.01. There is convincing evidence that the mean temperature in fall and winter months in southwest Virginia is less than 62^oF.

The meteorologist should fail to reject the null hypothesis since 0.007 < 0.01. There is no

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
