As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is greater than 73.8.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is greater than 73.8.
  • The sample data support the claim that the population mean is greater than 73.8.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is greater than 73.8.
You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of a = 0.002.
H.:µ = 73.8
Ha:µ > 73.8
You believe the population is normally distributed and you know the standard deviation is o = 16.9. You
obtain a sample mean of M = 77.3 for a sample of size n = 66.
What is the critical value for this test? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
critical value =
What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =
The test statistic is...
O in the critical region
not in the critical region
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
O reject the null
accept the null
O fail to reject the null

Expert Solution
Step 1

State the hypotheses.

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

 

Determine the Critical value.

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 2

Use EXCEL Procedure for finding the critical value of z.

 

Follow the instruction to obtain the critical value of z:

 

  1. Open EXCEL
  2. Go to Formula bar.
  3. In formula bar enter the function as“=NORMINV”
  4. Enter the probability as 0.999.
  5. Enter the mean as 0 and the Standard deviation as 1.
  6. Click enter

 

EXCEL output:

 

From the EXCEL output, the critical value of z at the 99.8% confidence level is 3.090

 

Thus, the critical value is 3.090.

 

Step 2

Obtain the value of the test statistic.

The value of the test statistic is obtained below:
