Question 1003538:  A random sample of 100 observations from a population with standard deviation 28.51 yielded a sample mean of 94.9.
 
1. Given that the null hypothesis is μ=90 and the alternative hypothesis is μ>90 using α=.05, find the following:  
(a) Test statistic =  
  
(b) P - value: 
 
2. Given that the null hypothesis is μ=90 and the alternative hypothesis is μ≠90 using α=.05, find the following:  
(a) Test statistic =  
  
(b) P - value

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! A random sample of 100 observations from a population with standard deviation 28.51 yielded a sample mean of 94.9.  
1. Given that the null hypothesis is μ=90  
and the alternative hypothesis is μ>90 using α=.05, find the following:  
(a) Test statistic:: 
z(94.9) = (94.9-90)/(28.51/sqrt(100) =  1.7190. 
------ 
(b) P - value:: 
P-value = P(z > 1.719 ) = normalcdf(1.719,100) = 0.0428 
----------------------  
2. Given that the null hypothesis is μ=90 and the alternative hypothesis is μ≠90 using α=.05, find the following:  
(a) Test statistic:: 
z(94.9) = 1.719 
---------------- 
(b) P - value:: 
p-value = 2*P(z > 1.719) = 0.0856 
------------
