Explanation of Solution
Given:
Formula used:
Test statistic formula is:
Calculation:
The null and alternative hypotheses for the provided case are:
The test statistic is computed as:
The degree of freedom is calculated as:
The p-value:
In this case,
The null hypothesis could not be rejected which is not showing the sufficient evidences for the claim at significance level of 5%.
b.
To find: The 95% confidence interval and interpret it.
b.
Answer to Problem 74E
The confidence interval is (1.0002, 15).
Explanation of Solution
The 95% confidence interval using Ti-83 calculator is:
Thus, the confidence interval is (1.0002, 15).
c.
To explain: If the coaching is worth paying.
c.
Answer to Problem 74E
