Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population. State the hypotheses, find the test

statistic, critical value(s) , P-value , and state the final conclusion.Test the claim that for the population of female college students, the mean weight is given by μ = 132 lb. Sample data are summarized as n = 20, overbar(x) = 137 lb, and s = 14.2 lb. Use a significance level of α = 0.1.

Solution

Hypotheses:

- The population mean is 132. In order to test the claim that the mean is 132, we should check for if the mean is not 132.

- Thus, the Hypotheses are:

\begin{gathered} H_0:\mu=132 \\ H_1:\mu\ne132 \end{gathered}

Test statistic:

- The test statistic has to be a t-statistic because the sample size (n) is less than 30.

- The formula for finding the t-statistic is:

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} \\  \\ where, \\ \bar{X}=\text{ Sample mean} \\ \mu=\text{ Population mean} \\ s=\text{ Standard deviation} \\ n=\text{ Sample size} \end{gathered}

- Applying the formula, we have:

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{137-132}{\frac{14.2}{\sqrt{20}}} \\  \\ t=\frac{5}{3.1752} \\  \\ t\approx1.5747 \end{gathered}

Critical value:

- The critical value t-critical, is gotten by reading off the t-distribution table.

- For this, we need the degrees of freedom (df) which is gotten by the formula:

\begin{gathered} df=n-1 \\ df=20-1=19 \end{gathered}

- And then we also use the significance level of 0.1 and the fact that it is a two-tailed test to trace out the t-critical. (Note: significance level of 0.1 implies 10% significance level)

- This is done below:

- The critical value is 1.729

P-value:

- To find the p-value, we simply check the table for where the t-statistic falls.

- The t-statistic given is 1.5747. We simply check which values this falls between in the t-distribution table. It falls between 1.328 and 1.729. We can simply choose a value between 0.1 and 0.05 and multiply the result by 2 since it is a two-tailed test.

- However, we can also use a t-distribution calculator, we have:

- Thus, the p-value is 0.13183

Final Conclusion:

- The p-value is 0.13183, and comparing this to the significance level of 0.1, we can see that 0.13183 is outside the rejection region.

- Thus, the result is not significant and we fail to reject the null hypothesis

Hiro and his co-workers had lunch at a restaurant near their work. An 18% tip on their bill was $10.08. How much was the bill, n
Ghella [55]

Answer:

$8.27

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the tip.  We know it was 18% of the total. So...

x (the variable we need to find)         18%

__                                                   =     ___

10.08 (the total bill including tip)        100%

cross multiply

100x = 181.44

--------------------   (divide by 100 to get x by itself)

100

x = 1.81 (The 18% tip that was given)

So now we know how much the tip was, we subtract it from the bill

10.08 - 1.81 = $8.27

What is t+1/5=t+7/8? What is the value of t? There should be 2 values and the slashes are fractions
muminat
There is NO solution.

Cancel t on both sides (1/5 = 7/8).

Since 1/5 = 7/8, that doesn't make any sense so that is inapplicable ( So NO answer).
