Using traditional methods, it takes 8.48.4 hours to receive a basic flying license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 1616 students and observed that they had a mean of 8.28.2 hours with a variance of 1.001.00. A level of significance of 0.050.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Solution
We will use one sample t-test to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method.
The procedure is as follows
(5) Conclusion
It is concluded that the null hypothesis Ho is not rejected. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method, at the 0.05 significance level.
