Question
You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05.

      Ho:μ=78.6Ho:μ=78.6
      Ha:μ>78.6Ha:μ>78.6

You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=679n=679 with mean M=79.6M=79.6 and a standard deviation of SD=6.6SD=6.6.

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

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value = 

The p-value is...
  • less than (or equal to) αα
  • greater than αα


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 greater than 78.6.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is greater than 78.6.
  • The sample data support the claim that the population mean is greater than 78.6.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is greater than 78.6.
