A data set about speed dating includes "like" ratings of male dates made by the female dates. The summary statistics are
nequals=193193,
x overbarxequals=7.867.86,
sequals=2.262.26.
Use a
0.100.10
significance level to test the claim that the population mean of such ratings is less than
8.008.00.
Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Solution-
population standard deviation is unknown, So t -test is calculated.
test results-
by the test results, the null hypothesis is not rejected.
Hence, There is not enough evidence to claim that the population mean of such rating is less than 8.00
