Question
A manager is interested in determining if the population standard deviation has dropped below 88. Based on a sample of n= 23
items selected randomly from the population, conduct the appropriate hypothesis test at a 0.10 significance level. The sample
standard deviation is 71
.....
Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
O A.
Ho
o2 = 88
HA
#88
O B. Ho o<7,744
HA o27,744
O C. Ho o 27,744
HA o<7,744
O D. Ho o<88
HA o2 88
State the decision rule. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in any answer boxes to complete your choice.
(Round to four decimal places as needed)
O A. If the test statistic, <x-a
reject Ho Otherwise, do not reject Ho
O B. If the test statistic,
reject Ho or if the test statistic, x<xÍ -«12=, reject Ho Otherwise, do not
reject Ho
If the test statistic, > =
,reject Ho Otherwise, do not reject Ho

Choose the correct conclusion below.
O A. Reject Ho There is insufficient evidence that the population standard deviation is less than 88.
O B. Do not reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence that the population standard deviation is less than 88.
O C. Do not reject Ho. There is insufficient evidence that the population standard deviation is less than 88.
O D. Reject Ho There is sufficient evidence that the population standard deviation is less than 88.
