Question

You receive a brochure from a large university. The brochure indicates that the mean class size for full-time faculty is fewer than 34 students. You want to test this claim. You randomly select 18 classes taught by full-time faculty and determine the class size of each. The results are shown in the table below. At α=0.05, can you support the university's claim?

Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and Ha.

(b) Use technology to find the P-value.

(d) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

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.
