Answer:
a)Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
b) A Type of error I is reject the hypothesis that is equal to 40 when is fact , is different from 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and find that the mean of the sample is 43 hours and that the standard deviation is 4 hours. Based on this information, answer the questions below"
Data given
represent the sample mean
population mean (variable of interest)
s=4 represent the sample standard deviation
n represent the sample size
Part a: System of hypothesis
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if actual mean is different from 40 , the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
Part b
In th context of this tes, what is a Type I error?
A Type of error I is reject the hypothesis that is equal to 40 when is fact [tex]\mu is equal to 40
Part c
Suppose that we decide not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might we be making.
We can commit a Type II Error, since by definition "A type II error is the non-rejection of a false null hypothesis and is known as "false negative" conclusion"
