Question

You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.001α=0.001.

      Ho:μ=60.8Ho:μ=60.8
      Ha:μ<60.8Ha:μ<60.8

You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=626n=626 with a mean of M=59.5M=59.5 and a standard deviation of SD=7.7SD=7.7.

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

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

The test statistic is...

  • in the critical region
  • not in the critical region



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 less than 60.8.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is less than 60.8.
  • The sample data support the claim that the population mean is less than 60.8.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is less than 60.8.
