Here it is given that,
= 38, = 92, = 95.5, = -3.5, = 21
Since the sample size >30, the test statistic for testing the null hypothesis is given by,
follows a Standard Normal distribution.
a) The test statistic is given by,
=
= -3.5/0.7434
= - 4.7081
b) Since the alternative hypothesis is a lower tailed test, the critical region of the test is given by,
, where is the critical value.
Here =0.10. So the critical value of the test is given by,
= - 1.28
Since z = - 4.7081 < - 1.28 = , we ...
