b) Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
And after analyze the interval obtained the upper limit not contains the value of 50, so then we can conclude that the claim is not satisfied for this case, and the population mean seems to be lower than 50 at 10% of significance.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
We have the following data: 44 49 45 51 49 53 49 44 47 50 46 48
And we can calculate the sample mean and deviation with the following formulas:
And replacing we got:
population mean (variable of interest)
n=12 represent the sample size
Part a: Calculate the confidence interval
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
(1)
The degrees of freedom are given:
Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of and
, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,11)".And we see that
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
Part b
For this case the system of hypothesis are:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
And after analyze the interval obtained the upper limit not contains the value of 50, so then we can conclude that the claim is not satisfied for this case, and the population mean seems to be lower than 50 at 10% of significance.
check the picture below.
namely, which of those intervals has the steepest slope, recall slope = average rate of change.
now, from the picture, notice, those two there are the steepest, the other three are leaning too much to the "ground".
so, from those two, which is the steepest anyway? let's check their slope.
