Answer:

Answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

In hypothesis testing whether to accept or reject null hypothesis, normally we find one method as using confidence interval. If the test statistic lies within confidence interval, we accept otherwise we reject.

For arriving confidence intervals we add and subtract margin of error from the mean we use in null hypothesis.

Margin of error = std error * critical value of test (Z or t etc)

For the same std deviation, std error = std dev/sq rt of sample size

Thus std error is inversely proportional to the square root of sample size.

If n becomes larger, std error becomes smaller and vice versa.

So margin of error increases for smaller sample size.

Since we have to select confidence level from a small sample, we have to select one which has the greatest margin of error=18

Hence answer is

c) 71%(+/-18%)

Answer:

8 units = L

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width.

A = L*W

If A = 56 units^2 and W = 7 units, then L = (56 units^2) / (7 units) = 8 units = L

A sample of 47 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 30, and the population standard deviation i

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis. There is no evidence to conclude that the population mean is greater than 29. The population mean is less than or equal to 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 29

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 30

Sample size, n = 47

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 5

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu \leq 29\\H_A: \mu > 29$

a) This is a one-tailed test because the alternate hypothesis is in greater than direction.

We use One-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.

b) $z_{stat} > z_{critical}$ , we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis and if $z_{stat} < z_{critical}$ , we accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis.

c) Formula:

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{30 - 29}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{47}} } = 1.37$

d) Now, $z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = 1.64$

Since,

$z_{stat} < z_{critical}$

We accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis. There is no evidence to conclude that the population mean is greater than 29. The population mean is less than or equal to 29.

e) P-value is 0.0853

On the basis of p value we again accept the null hypothesis.
