Does this information disagree with the United Nations report? Apply the 0.01 significance level.
a. State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis.
H0: μ = 26450::::::H1: μ ≠ 26450
---------------------
b. State the decision rule for .01 significance level. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
invNorm(0.005) = -2.5758
Reject H0 if t is NOT between -2.5758 and +2.5758
----------------------------
c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round to 2 decimal places.)
test statistic: z(37,190) = (37190-26450)/10,700 = 1.00
------------- Since the test stat is not in the rejection interval,
Fail to reject Ho. The test results support the UN report at the 1% level.
d. Does this information disagree with the United Nations report? Apply the 0.01 significance level. :: Ans: It supports the UN report.
