There are different ways to estimate a variable. The sample mean is a point estimate of the population mean for the variable of interest.

<h3>What is a point estimate of the population mean?</h3>

A point estimate is known to be the value of a sample statistic that is often applied as one estimate of a specific population parameter.

The sample mean is defined simply as a form of average value seen in a sample. A sample is known to be the little portion of a whole.

At a school there are five lessons in a day in total the five lessons last 4 hours assume that each session lasts the same amoun
ikadub [295]

Answer:

48 minutes long

Step-by-step explanation:

For a total amount of minutes the lessons are, take 4x60. 4 for the total time in the lessons and 60 for 60 minutes in an hour. 4x60= 240 minutes.

Take 240/5. 240 is the total number of minutes and with the five lessons being the same amount of time, you divide the total number of minutes by the number of lessons. 240/5= 48 minutes

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 30.2  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 30.2  

b) X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \sigma=4.83)

And the distribution for the random sample is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}=0.683)

c) t=\frac{32.12-30.2}{\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}}=2.81    

p_v =P(t_{(49)}>2.81)=0.0035  

d) If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 30.2.  

e) The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct. And for this case is a value to accept or reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X=32.12 represent the sample mean  

s=4.83 represent the sample standard deviation

n=50 sample size  

\mu_o =30.2 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

a. Define the parameter and state the hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 30.2 mpg, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 30.2  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 30.2  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but 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:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (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".  

b. Define the sampling distribution (mean and standard deviation).

Let X the random variable who represent the variable of interest. And we know that the distribution for X is:

X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \sigma=4.83)

And the distribution for the random sample is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}=0.683)

c. Perform the test and calculate P-value

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{32.12-30.2}{\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}}=2.81    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=50-1=49  

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(49)}>2.81)=0.0035  

d. State your conclusion.

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 30.2.  

e. Explain what the p-value means in this context.

The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct. And for this case is a value to accept or reject the null hypothesis.
