In: Statistics and Probability
To test: Ho:: mu >= 26
Ha: mu < 26
We took a sample of size 400. The sample mean was 25.98 and s = 0.80 .
Find the p-value.
a. |
0.3085 |
b. |
0.01 |
c. |
0.1587 |
d. |
0.025 |
e. |
0.6915 |
Data Summary
The null and alternative hypotheses are
Ho : μ ≤ 26 μ is the population
mean
Ha : μ < 26
α = 0.05
We use T test since population standard deviation is unknown, and
sample size is small
Using the below formula, we get the test statistic
Degrees of Freedom (df)
df = n - 1 = 399
t-statistic
t-statistic = -0.5
For t = -0.5 df = 399 we find the Left Tailed p-value using t
tables
p-value = 0.3085
