Problem 30E
A random sample of 100 observations from a population with standard deviation 60 yielded a sample mean of 110.
a. Test the null hypothesis that against the alternative hypothesis that Interpret the results of the test.
b. Test the null hypothesis that against the alternative hypothesis that Interpret the results of the test.
c. Compare the results of the two tests you conducted. Explain why the results differ.
ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 3:
The values are given by
n = 100, ,
a). The hypothesis is against using , to interpret the result.
Given the hypothesis are
against
The test statistic is
= 1.67
Here we have
Then, . (since this value from standard normal table).
The rejection region is z > 1.645.
Since the observed value of the test statistic falls in the rejection region, (z = 1.67 > 1.645).
So is rejected.
Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to indicate the true population mean is greater than 100 at 0.05.
