Question 599699: 2. There is adequate information in each of the following to decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Carefully examine the statements; you should not have to perform any computations.
What is your decision and explain why.
a) Ho: μ = 120 Let α = 0.05. Data: x̅ = 130.1 for n = 100, P-value = 0.068
H1: μ ≠ 120
b) Ho: σ = 2.8 Let α = 0.01. Data: s = 3.1 for n = 55
H1: σ < 2.8
c) Ho: p = 0.68 Let α = 0.05. Data: p̂ = 0.69 for n = 32, test statistic z = 0.09095
H1: p > 0.68

What is your decision and explain why.
a) Ho: μ = 120 Let α = 0.05. Data: x̅ = 130.1 for n = 100, P-value = 0.068
H1: μ ≠ 120
----
Ans: p-value is greater than 5% so fail reject Ho.
------------------------------------------------------------
b) Ho: σ = 2.8 Let α = 0.01. Data: s = 3.1 for n = 55
H1: σ < 2.8
Ans: No decision as cannot determine test statistic or p-value
---------------------------------------------------------------
c) Ho: p = 0.68 Let α = 0.05. Data: p̂ = 0.69 for n = 32, test statistic z = 0.09095
H1: p > 0.68
p-value = P(z > 0.09095) = normalcdf(0.09095,100) = 0.4638
---
Since the p-value is greater than 5%, fail to reject Ho.
