Ha U > 3422
B)Ho > 3422 (Claim)
Ha C ho U > with line under Claim
Ha <
D U = Claim
U =/=
E U =
U < Claim
F U =/=
U = Claim
B) Find the P-value

---------------------------------------------
Complete parts a - d.
3678 2205 2444 1917 2295 3456 3900 4267 3004 3157 3233 4510
Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and Ha.
---------------------------------------------
The correct answer
A
Ho: u = 3568 (claim)
Ha: u # 3568
-----
x-bar = 3172
-----
t(3172) = (3172-3568)/[836.52/sqrt(12)] = -1.6399
-------------------------------
B) Find the P-value
p-value = 2*P(-100,-1.6399 when df = 11) = 2*tcdf(-100,-1.6399,11) = 0.1293
-------------------------
C Fail to reject or Reject Ho
Since the p-value is greater than 1% fail to reject Ho.
