Question

You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.01

      Ho:μ=52.1
      Ha:μ≠52.1

You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain the following sample of data:

60.2 38.4 22.4 81.7 78.1
42.7 32.9 50.9 76.2 48.9
84.8 70.7 57.8 46.5 72.9
35.5 68.2 83.2 22.4 86.8
39.7 65.3 51.3 63.2 54.6
38.4 47.5 44.4 70.7 89.2
62.2 11.8 51.8 79.2 37.7
16.8 76.2 72.9 47.5 33.8
92.4 16.8 67.6 71.4 53.2



What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic = 

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value = 

The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to) αα
  • greater than αα



This test statistic leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null
  • accept the null
  • fail to reject the null



As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is not equal to 52.1.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is not equal to 52.1.
  • The sample data support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 52.1.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 52.1.
