Question

In the following scenario for a hypothesis test for a population? mean, decide whether the? z-test is an appropriate method for conducting the hypothesis test. Assume that the population standard deviation is known. Preliminary data analyses reveal that the sample data contain no outliers but that the distribution of the variable under consideration is probably mildly skewed. The sample size is 70.
Choose the correct answer below.
a. The z-test is not an appropriate method, because the sample size is too small to be useful.
b. The z-test is an appropriate method, because the sample contains no outliers.
c. The z-test is an appropriate method, because the sample size is sufficiently large that the skewness of the variable does not matter.
d. The Z-test is not an appropriate method, because the sample is not a large sample and the data are highly skewed.
