Historically, a certain region has experienced 92 thunder days annually. (A "thunder day" is day on which at least one instance

of thunder is audible to a normal human ear). Over the past fifteen years, the mean number of thunder days is 72 with a standard deviation of 38. Can you conclude that the mean number of thunder days is less than 92? Use the level of significance.

Answer:

We conclude that the mean number of thunder days is less than 92.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Historically, a certain region has experienced 92 thunder days annually.

Over the past fifteen years, the mean number of thunder days is 72 with a standard deviation of 38.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = mean number of thunder days.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 92 days     {means that the mean number of thunder days is more than or equal to 92}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 92 days     {means that the mean number of thunder days is less than 92}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                       T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean number of thunder days = 72

             s = sample standard deviation = 38

            n = sample of years = 15

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{72-92}{\frac{38}{\sqrt{15} } }  ~ t_1_4

                               =  -2.038

The value of z test statistics is -2.038.

Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now, at 5% significance level the t table gives critical value of -1.761 at 14 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of t as -2.038 < -1.761, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean number of thunder days is less than 92.
