A stats practitioner formulated the following hypothesis:
H0: μ = 200 against
H1: u <200
and learned that the mean = 190 n = 9 and σ = 50. The p-value of the test is?
----------
Determine the test statistic:
t(190) = (190-200)/[50/sqrt(9)] = -0.6
----
p-value = P(t<-0.6 when df = 8) = 0.2826
-----------
I used a TI calculator command: tcdf(-100,-0.6,8) = 0.2826
