Question

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

      Ho:μ=77.3Ho:μ=77.3
      Ha:μ>77.3Ha:μ>77.3

You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=4n=4 with a mean of M=91.9M=91.9 and a standard deviation of SD=20.8SD=20.8.

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 = 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Sample size = 4

Sample mean = 91.9

Sample standard deviation = 20.8

 

Set up the null and the alternative hypothesis.
