Chapter 09 Section 92 Problem 030 Reject the null hypotheses

Chapter 09, Section 9.2, Problem 030

Reject the null hypotheses

OR

DO NOT Rejec the null hypotheses

Solution

Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,              
              
Ho:   u   =   100  
Ha:    u   =/   100  
              
As we can see, this is a    two   tailed test.      
              
Thus, getting the critical z, as alpha =    0.025   ,      
alpha/2 =    0.0125          
zcrit =    +/-   2.241402728      
              
Getting the test statistic, as              
              
X = sample mean =    90          
uo = hypothesized mean =    100          
n = sample size =    60          
s = standard deviation =    11          
              
Thus, z = (X - uo) * sqrt(n) / s =    -7.041787902          
              
Also, the p value is              
              
p =    1.89789*10^-12          
              
As |z| > 2.2414, and P < 0.025, we   REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.   [ANSWER]
