a.
The Null and Alternative Hypotheses are,
b.
Since the population standard deviation is known, the z test for one population mean is used to test the hypothesis.
Test statistic
The z statistic is obtained using the formula,
Critical value Method
The critical value for the z distribution is obtained from the standard normal distribution table for significance level = 0.10.
Conclusion
Since obtained z statistic = -1.825 is less than the z critical value = 1.28 at a 10% significance level, the null hypothesis is not rejected
c.
P-value Method
The p-value for the z statistic is obtained from the z distribution table z = - 1.825.
Conclusion
Since p-value = 0.966 > 0.10 at a 10% significance level, the null hypothesis is not rejected
d.
and. Determine the type II (B) and power (1- B) error value for the previous hypothesis test
The confidence interval for the mean is obtained using the formula,
The z critical value is obtained from the z distribution table for significance level = 0.01
Type II Error
For the previous hypothesis test, the type II error is obtained using the following formula,
where
(In excel use function =NORM.S.INV(0.90))
From the standard normal distribution table,
(In excel use function =NORM.S.DIST(-0.5434,TRUE)
