Question

It is commonly believed that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is 98.6∘F. You are not entirely convinced. You believe that it is not 98.6∘F. You collected data using 49 healthy people and found that they had a mean body temperature of 98.24∘F with a standard deviation of 1.05∘F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is not 98.6∘F.

a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?

H0:

H1:

 

d) Calculate your test statistic. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to two decimal places.


e) Calculate your p-value. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to four decimal places.


f) Do you reject the null hypothesis?

  • We reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level.
  • We reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is not less than the significance level.
  • We fail to reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level.
  • We fail to reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is not less than the significance level.


g) Select the statement below that best represents the conclusion that can be made.

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is not 98.6∘F
