Ho: u > 20 (( their is a line under this sine >))
Ha: u < 20
A sample of 50 provided a sample mean of 19.4. The population standard deviation is 2.
a. Compute the value of the test statistic.
b. What is the p-value?
c. Using a = .05, what is your conclusion?
d. What is the rejection rule using the critical value? What is your conclusion?

The solution assists with computing the value of the test statistic.

Solution Preview

A) this is one tailed z test, since population standard deviation is known
z (19.4-20)/(2/sqrt(50)) -2.121320344

B)
P 0.016947427

C) since P value is less than 0.05, we reject Ho

D)
Critical z ...
