You wish to test the following claim (H1H1) at a significance
level of α=0.01α=0.01.
Ho:μ=74.4Ho:μ=74.4
H1:μ≠74.4H1:μ≠74.4
You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not
know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=273n=273
with a mean of M=77.4M=77.4 and a standard deviation of
SD=16.7SD=16.7.
What is the critical value for this test? (Report answer accurate
to three decimal places.)
critical value = ±±
What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate
to three decimal places.)
test statistic =
The test statistic is...
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
As such, the final conclusion is that...
The test statistic is in the critical region
This test statistic leads to a decision to - reject the null
As such, the final conclusion is that - There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is not equal to 74.4.
