Using a test of hypothesis at the 1% level of significance, will you decide to harvest your stock?
A. State null hypothesis
null hypothesis is that the average body weight is not greater than 20.
B. State alternative hypothesis
alternate hypothesis is that the average body weight is greater than 20.
C. Level of significance
level of significance is .01 on the high end of the confidence interval.
confidence interval is .99 with .01 tail on the right.
D. Test statistic
test statistic is t = 5.09 and p = 0.000002837
E. Decision rule based on p-value
decision rule is that critical p-value is .01.
if p is greater than that, then null hypothesis can't be rejected.
if p is less than that, then null hypothesis is rejected and alternate hypothesis is accepted.
F. Statistical decision
p was less than .01, therefore alternate hypothesis that average body weight is greater than 20 is accepted.
G. Conclusion
bangus will be harvested.
