Question

Test the claim that the mean GPA of night students is smaller than 2.4 at the .10 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p≠0.6H1:p≠0.6
H0:μ=2.4H0:μ=2.4
H1:μ<2.4H1:μ<2.4
H0:μ=2.4H0:μ=2.4
H1:μ>2.4H1:μ>2.4
H0:μ=2.4H0:μ=2.4
H1:μ≠2.4H1:μ≠2.4
H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p>0.6H1:p>0.6
H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p<0.6H1:p<0.6



The test is:

right-tailed
left-tailed
two-tailed



Based on a sample of 30 people, the sample mean GPA was 2.35 with a standard deviation of 0.05

The test statistic is:  (to 2 decimals)

The critical value is:  (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

  • Reject the null hypothesis
  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
