It says I got the wrong answers but doesnt specify which one
It says I got the wrong answers but doesn\'t specify which ones. Can someone please help me out.
Consider the following hypothesis test: Ho: 45 Ha: 45 A sample of 36 is used. Identify the p-value and state your conclusion for each of the following sample results. Use a a. With C-44 and s-5.2, the p-value is between.005 and.01 Can it be concluded that the population mean is less than 45? t be condluded that the No b. with 43 and s = 4.6, the p-value is between .005 and.01 Can it be concluded that the population mean is less than 45? c. With T-46 and s-5.0, the p-value is greater than .20 Can it be concluded that the popluation mean is less than 45? t be condluded that the NoSolution
a)
Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,
Ho: u >= 45
Ha: u < 45
As we can see, this is a left tailed test.
Thus, getting the critical z, as alpha = 0.01 ,
alpha = 0.01
zcrit = - 2.326347874
Getting the test statistic, as
X = sample mean = 44
uo = hypothesized mean = 45
n = sample size = 36
s = standard deviation = 5.2
Thus, z = (X - uo) * sqrt(n) / s = -1.153846154
Also, the p value is, using a table/technology,
p = 0.124281624
Thus,
P IS GREATER THAN 0.10. [ANSWER]
Thus, NO, it cannot be concluded that the population mean is less than 45. [ANSWER]

b)
Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,
Ho: u >= 45
Ha: u < 45
As we can see, this is a left tailed test.
Thus, getting the critical z, as alpha = 0.01 ,
alpha = 0.01
zcrit = - 2.326347874
Getting the test statistic, as
X = sample mean = 43
uo = hypothesized mean = 45
n = sample size = 36
s = standard deviation = 4.6
Thus, z = (X - uo) * sqrt(n) / s = -2.608695652
Also, the p value is
p = 0.004544402
Thus,
P IS LESS THAN 0.005. [ANSWER]
Thus, YES, it can be concluded that the population mean is less than 45. [ANSWER]

c)
Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,
Ho: u >= 45
Ha: u < 45
As we can see, this is a left tailed test.
Thus, getting the critical z, as alpha = 0.01 ,
alpha = 0.01
zcrit = - 2.326347874
Getting the test statistic, as
X = sample mean = 46
uo = hypothesized mean = 45
n = sample size = 36
s = standard deviation = 5
Thus, z = (X - uo) * sqrt(n) / s = 1.2
Also, the p value is
p = 0.88493033
Thus, the P value is VERY BIG (please choose the option with the largest P value). [ANSWER]
Thus, NO, it cannot be concluded that the population mean is less than 45. [ANSWER]
