Answer:
If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that
so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.
The best option for this case would be:
We would switch to α = .01 for a more powerful test.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts and data given
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".
represent the sample mean
represent the sample standard deviation
n=18 represent the sample selected
significance level
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is less than 40, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
(1)
t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
P-value
First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:
Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:
Conclusion
If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that
so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.
The best option for this case would be:
We would switch to α = .01 for a more powerful test.
Since the p values is just a little higher than th significance level 0.051>0.05 but the values are two close. If we change the value of the significance by 0.01, we have that 0.051>0.01 and it's a more powerful test.
