About 11% of the total U.S. wheat crop is destroyed by jail. A random sample of 16 claims reported the percentage is 15, 9, 11, 12, 13, 21, 14, 10, 6, 11, 25, 21, 11, 11, 14, 7. The sample mean is x=13.2. Assume x has a nirmal distribution and thecstandard deviation is 5.0%. Use a=0.01%. What is the level of sigificance? Cimpite z value of the sample test statistic. Find the p value.

Question

About 11% of the total U.S. wheat crop is destroyed by jail. A random sample of 16 claims reported the percentage is 15, 9, 11, 12, 13, 21, 14, 10, 6, 11, 25, 21, 11, 11, 14, 7. The sample mean is x=13.2. Assume x has a nirmal distribution and thecstandard deviation is 5.0%. Use a=0.01%. What is the level of sigificance? Cimpite z value of the sample test statistic. Find the p value. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

From the provided information,

Sample size (n) = 16

Population mean (µ) = 11

Sample mean (x̅) = 13.2

Population standard deviation (σ) = 5.0

Level of significance (α) = 0.01

Step 2

According to the claim the hypotheses can be constructed as:

H0: µ = 11

H1: µ ≠ 11

Since, the population standard deviation is known, therefore, the z distribution will be used.
