Question 382255: A random sample of 121 observations from a population with a standard deviation of 50 yielded a sample mean of 150. Test the null hypothesis that the mean is 145 against the alternative at 10% level of significance. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A random sample of 121 observations from a population with a standard deviation of 50 yielded a sample mean of 150. Test the null hypothesis that the mean is 145 against the alternative at 10% level of significance.
---------------------------
Ho: u = 145
Ha: u is not 145
-----
t(150) = (150-145)/[50/sqrt(121)] = 1.1
----
p-value = 2*P(t >1.1 when df = 49) = 2*0.1383 = 26.6%
------------------
Since the p-value is greater than 10%, fail to reject Ho
at the 10% significance level.
