Decision are.
Conduct a hypothesis test and upload a file with your answer. To
receive full credit your answer must include the following:
- State the null and alternative hypotheses. Hint: For this type
of problem Ho and Ha are shown using English sentences, not
mathematical symbols.
- Give the symbol used for the test statistic for this test.
- Calculate the value of the test statistic for this data.
- Calculate the degrees of freedom needed to evaluate the test
statistic.
- Give a range for the p-value if you are using a table, or you
can give an exact p-value if you are using a computer or
calculator.
- State whether you reject or fail to reject Ho.
- Interpret your answer with a sentence in English that someone
who has not studied statistics would understand.
