Answer:
Critical value
We need to find a critical value in the t distribution with df=29 who accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:
Since our calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance
P-value
Since is a two-sided tailed test the p value would given by:
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 to reject the null hypothesis and we can say that the true mean is not equal to 130 the specification.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
135 149 132 142 124 130 122 128 120 128 127 123 136 141 130 139 134 135 130 141 149 137 137 140 148
We can calculate the mean with the following formula:
And the deviation with:
represent the sample mean
represent the sample standard deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is equal to 130 :
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
Since we don't know the population deviation, 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:
Critical value
We need to calculate the degrees of freedom first given by:
We need to find a critical value in the t distribution with df=29 who accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:
Since our calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance
P-value
Since is a two-sided tailed test the p value would given by:
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 to reject the null hypothesis and we can say that the true mean is not equal to 130 the specification.
