Find the p -value for the hypothesis test. A random sample of size 52 is taken. The sample has a mean of 425 and a standard deviation of 86. H 0 : µ = 400 H a : µ ≠ 400 The p -value for the hypothesis test is
solution
this is the two tailed test .
The null and alternative hypothesis is ,
H0 : = 400
Ha : 400
Test statistic = z
= ( - ) / / n
= (425 -400) / 86 / 52 11.92605422
z= 2.10
P(z > 2.10) = 1 - P(z <2.10 ) = 1- 0.9821=0.0179*2=0.0358
P-value = 0.0358 ( using z table)
