Assume that a hypothesis test will be conducted using significance level α = .01 and alternative hypothesis Ha: μ : ≠ 19.3.
Furthermore, we will use the following sample data: n = 12, x-bar = 18.8, and s = 2.1.
The concept of hypothesis testing of population mean and the form of the null and alternate hypothesis in such test procedure is needed to be known as a prerequisite for understanding the solution to the problem done. Our answer to the problem is that we have insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis "H0: mu=19.3", mu= population mean (given in terms of symbol). The solution is attached below:
